                      Hoffman - Funded, Development Begins


9 November 2009

AIM Symbol: NTOG

Nostra  Terra  is pleased to announce the funding and commencement of  fieldwork
for the Hoffman property.

Hewitt  Petroleum, Inc (HPI), Nostra Terra's JV partner in the Hoffman property,
has  notified Nostra Terra that HPI has now completed its funding so that it can
commence development of the Hoffman property.  Within the next 10 business days,
weather  permitting,  production operations will commence  with  two  additional
workover rigs on the property.  This is in addition to the existing rig  at  the
Boxberger property.

As  announced  on  15  July 2009, the Hoffman property, located  in  Barton  and
Russell  County,  Kansas, consists of 5 wells to be placed into  production  (of
which  2  are  currently plugged) and 1 salt water disposal well.  The  property
also includes additional leased acreage allowing for new wells to be drilled  at
a  later  date.  Nostra Terra owns a maximum 25% working interest in the  entire
property*.

The  estimated  total  project  cost including acquisition  and  development  is
US$1,600,000  of which 25 per cent is to be met by NTOG.  NTOG has already  paid
US$125,000 and expects to pay the final consideration of US$275,000.

*If  revenue  is generated from production on the project prior to  NTOG  having
made the final consideration payment of US$275,000 for their interest, then  the
revenue  shall  be  adjusted on a prorate basis for the  amount  that  NTOG  has
actually paid.

"It's  exciting to begin operations on Hoffman.  Having the second of our  three
fields  being developed is a significant milestone for Nostra Terra," said  Matt
Lofgran,  CEO of Nostra Terra.  "The previously negotiated contract allowed  for
Nostra Terra to have a large ownership, in a great field, on terms not available
today.   Altogether the Hoffman and Boxberger properties, in which  the  Company
has interests, entail the re-working of 17 wells."

Further  announcements on progress at the properties will be made in due  course
and   are   available  automatically  by  email  to  those   who   register   at
