Transfer of Ukrainian Assets

NOSTRA TERRA OIL & GAS COMPANY PLC ("Nostra Terra" or the "Company") Transfer of Ukrainian Assets 18 February 2010 Nostra Terra Oil & Gas plc (AIM: NTOG) is pleased to announce that its wholly- owned subsidiary, Nostra Terra Overseas Ltd ("NTOL"), has entered into a contract with Crimea Nadra Invest (CNI) relating to its assets in Ukraine. Under the terms of the contract, CNI will acquire all the rights and obligations associated with the Joint Activity Agreement of 27 January 2001 (the "JAA") covering NTOL's operations in Ukraine and in particular the Oktyabrskoe field licence, while NTOL will retain a right to payment of 25 per cent of any net profits generated by CNI from the JAA, which runs for a period of 25 years from 27 January 2001. The consideration for the transaction is to be settled by the deferred payment from future oil sale proceeds of 360,000 Ukraine hryvnia (approximately £29,000), which will be applied towards general working capital. During the last nine months, Nostra Terra has successfully embarked on a new strategic direction focused initially on the mature, low-cost oil producing region of the US mid-continent, where it has already established early oil production and continues to build its asset portfolio. Matt Lofgran, CEO of Nostra Terra, said: "I believe this is a very positive deal for Nostra Terra and our shareholders, as it provides us with the right to 25% of any future net profits from the currently non-productive JAA, with no further cost exposure. "Our primary objective at this stage is to build a solid foundation within the US mid-continent, on which to grow our oil and gas business sustainably and selectively on an international scale. With its local expertise and relationships, CNI is well positioned to unlock additional value from the Oktyabrskoe licence, while we can now devote our management and financial resources to achieving that primary objective of profitable growth." CNI is based in Evpatoria, Crimea, and has other oil and gas interests in the region. Nostra Terra will retain its small representative office in Ukraine for the time being in order to assist and monitor the joint venture. The Company's 25 per cent interest in the Oktyabrskoe field licence was carried at £153,000 in its last audited consolidated accounts. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company reported a gross loss of £115,000 on turnover of £88,000 from its Ukrainian operations following unsuccessful exploration on the Oktyabrskoe #10, #24 and #50 wells. Goodwill attributable to the Company's acquisition of NTOL, stated at £3,268,000 as at 31 December 2008, will be subject to impairment review in respect of the Company's 2009 financial year and in light of NTOL's exit from the JAA.
