PRESS RELEASE

15 January 2015

WENTWORTH RESOURCES LIMITED

("Wentworth" or "the Company")

Mozambique: Kifaru-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 Kifaru-1 exploration well in the

Rovuma Onshore Concession in northern Mozambique.  Wentworth has an 11.59% net

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

Helmerich & Payne rig #243.

The Kifaru-1 exploration well is targeting Miocene sands, similar to the

reservoirs in the Mnazi Bay and Msimbati gas fields in southern Tanzania, as

well as Oligocene and Cretaceous sands. The Kifaru-1 well has a planned total

depth of 4,050 meters True Vertical Depth Sub Sea and, based on the current

drilling program, is expected to take approximately 70 days to complete.  The

Company will provide an update after drilling operations have been completed.

Geoff Bury, Managing Director, commented:

"The Kifaru-1 exploration well is located just south of our discovered natural

gas fields in the Mnazi Bay concession and adjacent to recent gas discoveries

made offshore. The Kifaru-1 well is testing a large structure which, if

successful, could lead to further exploration activities in both of Wentworth's

blocks in the Rovuma Basin".
