Weather impact

Kansas  is finally emerging from its worst winter in many years, with persistent
heavy  snowfalls  and sub-zero temperatures well below average  for  the  state.
Throughout  January  and much of February, these challenging weather  conditions
significantly  hampered  progress  on Nostra Terra's  three  properties  in  the
Central  Kansas  Uplift,  as they did on other oil and  gas  operations  in  the
region.  As  a  result, redevelopment work on wells that had been scheduled  for
completion  by the end of March was delayed and is now expected to be  completed
during the second quarter of 2010.

Current operations

The  Company now has increased its rig count to five rigs on site, four of which
are  redeveloping oil production wells which, after an extensive rework  program
to understand and optimise the well dynamics, are expected to deliver stable and
sustainable  production. The fifth rig is finishing a rework  of  a  salt  water
disposal  (SWD) well.  A description of the current operations on each property,
as  well  as information on the Company's other activities and plans,  is  given
below.

Hoffman

On 12 February 2010, Nostra Terra increased its interest in the Hoffman property
from  7.8%  to 25% after making the final consideration payment of $275,000.  On
the  same  day, the Company announced that it had acquired a 50% interest  in  a
further 160 acres nearby which, like the Hoffman property, lie within the large,
mature Trapp field.

As  announced  on  8  February, initial production from  the  first  redeveloped
Hoffman well swabbed at a daily rate of approximately 74 barrels of oil per  day
(bopd),  over a three day period.  The produced oil is a good quality,  39°  API
crude. Since then, whilst reservoir pressure in the targeted zone in the well is
unchanged, inflow caused from fines has caused interruptions to flow rates which
are  very  significantly  reduced pending remedial  work   to  open  up  lateral
sections  within  the borehole to go beyond the immediate issue.  This  remedial
work was itself delayed pending the availability of suitable contractors, but is
now  underway.   The Company and its equity partner and operator of  the  Kansas
properties,  Hewitt Petroleum Inc. ("HPI"), have  continued to assess  the  well
dynamics  and most effective methods to deliver sustainable production from  the
property.

A specialist contractor arrived on site yesterday, 30 March, to carry out radial
jet  enhancement  -  a proven technology to increase production  in  mature  oil
fields  that  involves  pressure-jetting lateral  sections  into  the  producing
formation  - both on the first well and on a second Hoffman well that  has  been
reworked and is now ready to be brought on line.

The Hoffman property is located in Barton County and Russell County, Kansas, and
contains five existing production wells (two of which are plugged) and  one  SWD
well.  As  stated  in the Company's 2 September 2009 reserves announcement,  the
Hoffman  property  is  estimated to contain total  proven  reserves  of  834,000
barrels  of  crude oil and 404 million cubic feet of natural gas, excluding  any
probable  or  possible reserves. The Company's working interest  is  25%  (after
production royalties).

Bloom

First production from the Bloom property, which had been targeted before the end
of March, is now expected to begin in April. Three rigs are now operating on the
property.  Electrical power infrastructure has been completed at  seven  of  the
nine  production  well  locations, as well as production flowlines  and  surface
equipment.

Nostra  Terra holds an interest in nine existing production wells  and  two  SWD
wells  on the Bloom property, which is located within the Chase-Silica field  in
Rice  County,  Kansas. The reserves report on the Bloom property, highlights  of
which were announced by the Company on 2 November 2009, stated that the property
includes  total  proven reserves of 2.26 million barrels of crude  oil  and  1.1
billion  cubic feet of natural gas, excluding any probable or possible reserves.
Nostra Terra has a 50% working interest in the Bloom property.

Boxberger

On  8  February  2010, Nostra Terra announced that initial flow rates  from  the
first  reworked  Boxberger  well were very encouraging,  and  that  the  Company
expected to be in a position to provide production data before the end  of  this
quarter  once  a  second, higher-capacity SWD well had been brought  on  stream.
These  operations were severely disrupted by the weather, but have now resumed.
Once  the  second  SWD has been permitted for use, the first  producer  will  be
brought on stream.

Nostra Terra holds an interest in 11 wells, including at least two SWDs, on  the
Boxberger  property,  which  is located in Russell County,  Kansas,  within  the
mature  Gorham  field.  As  stated in the Company's 2  September  2009  reserves
announcement,  the  Boxberger  property is estimated  to  contain  total  proven
reserves  of  1.66 million barrels of crude oil and 805 million  cubic  feet  of
natural  gas,  excluding any probable or possible reserves from other  intervals
that  have  not yet been tested. Nostra Terra has a 50% working interest  (after
production royalties) in the Boxberger property.

Anticipated rework and drilling programme for 2010

Nostra  Terra  has  plans with its partner to rework or drill  15  wells  by  31
December  2010.   All  of  these wells are within the Company's  existing  asset
portfolio,  and  are funded, although other wells from new acquisitions  may  be
substituted  where this would be strategically advantageous.  The  Company  will
report  further  in  its preliminary results statement for  the  year  ended  31
December 2009.

Acquisition

Liberty #1 (Utah Overthrust)

Nostra  Terra  also announces today that it has acquired a 7%  working  interest
(WI) before payout and 5% WI after payout in the Liberty #1 exploratory well  in
Juab County, Utah, for an initial consideration of US$125,000, with an estimated
additional contribution of US$87,500 should the Liberty #1 be deemed capable  of
producing  commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. The Company has the  right  to
participate in the wider prospect area.

The  Liberty  #1  drill site and access road have already  been  constructed,  a
drilling  rig  has  been contracted and is due to arrive on  site  in  the  week
beginning 19 April.

The  Liberty prospect lies on the Paxton thrust, six miles west of the  Gunnison
thrust,  where  Wolverine  Gas & Oil has had two major  overthrust  discoveries.
Wolverine  Gas  & Oil  discovered 100 million-barrels  of oil  at  its  Covenant
field  in  just  the  shallowest  of two stacked  Navajo  sandstone  oil  pools.
Subsequently, Wolverine Gas & Oil discovered the stacked, multi-pool  Providence
field, which may be larger than the Covenant field and is now under development.

Surface geology, seismic, geochemical and gravity survey data were acquired  and
interpreted to validate the potential sourcing, reservoir quality and  structure
of the Liberty prospect.

The Liberty #1 well will be drilled to a total depth of approximately 5,000 feet
in  order to test the Twin Creek formation and Navajo sandstone. Whilst there is
very  limited seismic data and geological or geophysical analysis to verify  the
depths  and specific hydrocarbon potential, if any, Jeremiah Burton, a geologist
at  HPI, estimates that the target holds a 60 million barrel reserve, that could
potentially yield in excess of 5 million barrels of high-quality crude  oil  per
well  based on offset drilling, on intermediate seismic and on the area's recent
success.

Koelsch property (Kansas)

The  leases  and  wellbores at the Koelsch Field referred to  in  the  Company's
announcement of 15 July 2009 have now been acquired and  the Company  now  holds
a  50%  WI in two production wells and one SWD in the Koelsch Field, located  in
Stafford County, Kansas.


Matt  Lofgran,  CEO  of Nostra Terra, said: "The exceptionally  harsh  and  long
winter  in Kansas has delayed our progress and been frustrating for us  and  our
equity partner and operator, Hewitt Petroleum, Inc. However, during that time we
made  progress on other fronts and now that spring has finally arrived,  we  are
bringing  additional  equipment and resources on site  in  order  to  accelerate
development of our current assets.

"During  the  quarter, we have also continued to identify and  evaluate  further
opportunities  to  add value to our asset base, in pursuit of  our  strategy  to
transform  Nostra  Terra into a low-cost, profitable and  growing  oil  and  gas
producer."

Nominated adviser name change

Nostra  Terra  also  announces  that Blomfield Corporate  Finance  Limited,  the
Company's  Nominated Adviser, has changed its name to Religare  Capital  Markets
(UK) Limited - trading as Religare Capital Markets.

The  technical information in this announcement has been prepared  and  approved
for release by W. A. Alexander Jr. of W. A. Alexander, Jr. Oil & Gas Consulting.
He  is  a  qualified person as defined in the Note for Mining and  Oil   &   Gas
Companies, June 2009, of the London Stock Exchange.
