Wentworth Resources Limited : Mozambique: Tembo-1 Drilling Operations Commence

PRESS RELEASE

Wentworth Resources Limited

("Wentworth" or the "Company")

Mozambique: Tembo-1 Drilling Operations Commence

Wentworth, the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE: WRL) and AIM (AIM: WRL) listed

independent, East Africa-focused oil & gas company, today announces that

drilling operations have commenced on the Tembo-1 well in the Rovuma Onshore

Concession in northern Mozambique.  Wentworth has an 11.59 percent net interest

in this well which is being operated by Anadarko and drilled with the Helmerich

& Payne rig #243.

The Tembo-1 well is targeting mid-Cretaceous sands with secondary targets in the

upper Jurassic.  Tembo-1 has a planned total depth of 4,250 meters True Vertical

Depth Sub Sea and is expected to take between 60 and 90 days to complete.  An

update on drilling operations will be provided after drilling operations have

been fully completed.

To date there have been two wells drilled in the Rovuma Onshore Concession

including the Mocimboa-1 well, which encountered oil and natural gas shows in

the Cretaceous and is located approximately 17 kilometres to the northeast of

the Tembo-1 well.

Geoff Bury, Managing Director, commented:

"The Tembo-1 well is designed to test Cretaceous and Jurassic sands in the

onshore area of the Rovuma Basin in northern Mozambique, and is the first of two

wells that Wentworth will be participating in over the next six months at the

concession.  The Tembo prospect is one of the larger prospects (on pre-drill

estimates) to be drilled to date in the onshore Rovuma Basin region of East

Africa.  It is a high impact frontier well and, if successful, could add

significant new oil or natural gas resources for Wentworth and open up an

entirely new play fairway."
