Wentworth Resources Limited

("Wentworth" or the "Company")

Q1 2014 Financial Statements and MD&A

Wentworth Resources Limited, the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE: WRL) and London Stock Exchange (AIM: WRL) listed independent, East Africa-focused oil & gas company, today announces its results for the first quarter and three months ended 31 March 2014.

The following should be read in conjunction with the Q1 2014 Management Discussion and Analysis and Financial Statements which are available on the Company's updated website at http://www.wentworthresources.com.

Q1 2014 Highlights

·   Completed the acquisition of new high resolution 2D seismic data over the two discovered gas fields within the Mnazi Bay Concession, Tanzania.
·   Continued with pre-drilling activities in advance of a June spud date for the Tembo prospect within the Rovuma Onshore Concession, Mozambique.
·   Continued consultations with the Government of Tanzania to conclude a Gas Sales Agreement ("GSA") to supply Mnazi Bay Concession natural gas to the Mtwara to Dar es Salaam pipeline that is under construction and expected to be completed and commissioned during Q1 2015. No significant issues remain unresolved and the Company expects GSA to be signed in Q2 2014.
·   First quarter exploration capital expenditures of $4.8 million compared to $2.6 million during the same period in 2013.
·   Revenues for the quarter of $0.2 million which is consistent with Q1 2013.
·   Loss from operating activities for the quarter of $2.2 million compared to a similar loss during Q1 2013.
·   Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totalled $30.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $37.7 million on hand at December 31, 2013.
·   Working capital at March 31, 2014 was $31.2 million compared to $38.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Outlook
·       In June 2014 drilling operations for the first exploration well, Tembo-1, of a two well program in Mozambique are expected to start.  The second well, Kifaru-1, will be drilled immediately following completion of Tembo-1. 
·       The construction of the Mtwara to Dar es Salaam pipeline is progressing well and the Company expects to begin selling natural gas into the pipeline in Q1 2015.  The Company and the Mnazi Bay Concession partners continue to work towards the signing of the GSA with the Tanzanian government.
·       Acquisition of 2D onshore seismic data over the prospective areas of the Mnazi Bay Concession Tanzania is expected to be completed during Q2.   Processing and interpretation of this new seismic data during 2014 is expected to support future appraisal/development and exploration drilling which is anticipated to commence in Q4 2014 or Q1 2015.

Geoff Bury, Managing Director, commented:

"The drilling of two high impact exploration wells in Mozambique will commence in the very near future.  These wells have the potential to significantly impact the Company's valuation.  In Tanzania, pipeline construction is on schedule with no indication of delay of the Q1 2015 expected commissioning and first gas delivery timing.  Although it has taken much longer than initially anticipated, all signs point toward an imminent conclusion of a gas sales agreement covering initial gas supplies from the Mnazi Bay Concession.  The Company will update shareholders when an agreement has been signed.  We are excited about the near term catalysts and wish to thank shareholders for their ongoing support."
