MONTELLO PROVIDES UPDATE TO ITS PINCHER CREEK NEGOTIATIONS
=======================================================================

Montello Provides Update to its Pincher Creek Negotiations
=======================================================================
CALGARY, ALBERTA - Montello is pleased to update its shareholders on
the progress since its last news release of July 7th, 2011 where the
Company disclosed that it was in discussions with a party that was
interested in making a significant strategic investment in the Pincher
Creek field.
This party performed its due diligence and negotiated with the
operator, another partner, as well as Montello, to purchase their
interests, over a three-month period ending July 2011, had signed
letters of intent with each party, and was waiting on funding for an
additional month.
Unfortunately the funding was not forthcoming and
Montello moved forward with hiring the services of a marketing company
to assist in either the sale of its Pincher Creek assets or to
encourage a farm-in partner.
Over the last month there have been several interested parties; however
the company is not at liberty to disclose its discussions with the
potential partners until a signed agreement is in place.
Montello is looking forward to completing this transaction, because not
only will it allow the Company to begin the re-instatement process, but
it will also bring the Pincher Creek well into production and
accelerate further joint development in the field.
Management is extremely anxious to move forward with its AGM and the
re-instatement process, but must first have a business plan and funding
plan in place before doing so.
That business plan and funding plan are
contingent upon the successful completion of a definitive agreement
with a new strategic partner.
Montello appreciates the patience shown by its shareholders during this
period.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
"Peter C.
Brown"
Peter C.
Brown

Forward-Looking Information
This document may contain "forward-looking information" within the
meaning of Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, "forward-looking
statements").
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date
of this document and Montello Resources Ltd.
(the "Company") does not
intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these
forward-looking statements, except as required under applicable
securities legislation.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future
performance and reflect Company managements expectations or beliefs
regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements
with respect to the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the
realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of
estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures,
success of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated
reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on
insurance coverage.
In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not
expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or
"believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that
certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or
"will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these
terms or comparable terminology.
By their very nature forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of the Company to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.
Such factors include, among others, risks related to actual
results of current exploration activities; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of resources;
possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates;
accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry;
delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the
completion of development or construction activities; as well as those
factors detailed from time to time in the Companys interim and annual
financial statements and managements discussion and analysis of those
statements, all of which are filed and available for review on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there
may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as
anticipated, estimated or intended.
There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results
and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking
statements.
