WENTWORTH RESOURCES LIMITED
(Wentworth or the Company)

Corporate update

Wentworth, the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE: WRL) and AIM (AIM: WRL) listed
independent, East Africa-focused oil&gas company, announces that it is
undertaking a restructuring process to better align its corporate and
management structures with its shareholders and asset base in Africa, to
increase management efficiencies and reduce certain costs.

As a first step in this process, the Company is relocating its head office and
executive management team to London from Calgary, Canada bringing them closer
to shareholders and to the Companys core operating assets in Tanzania and
Mozambique. Due to personal reasons, Managing Director Geoff Bury, is unable
to relocate to London and will therefore be leaving the Company when a
suitable replacement has been found. The Company has commissioned an
executive search agent and is currently reviewing candidates for the role of
Chief Executive Officer, although Geoff will remain in his current role for a
period of time to allow a smooth transition of responsibilities.

In line with the head office relocation and given that the Company has few
Canadian registered shareholders and very limited operational connection to
Canada, the Directors are exploring the possibility of re-domiciling the
Company from Canada to a European country in order to better service its
shareholder base, reduce costs as well as corporate complexity. The Company
will consult and update shareholders, when appropriate, as to the progress on
the corporate reformation process.

Geoff Bury, Managing Director, said:

I take great pride in the significant achievements since joining Wentworth in
2010, most of all positioning the Company to be a major gas producer in East
Africa and securing a potentially world class appraisal asset in Mozambique
that is capable of delivering significant upside to our shareholders in the
near term. I strongly believe in the quality assets that Wentworth has and
the growth these assets can achieve.

Bob McBean, Executive Chairman, said:

Firstly, I would like to thank Geoff for his significant contribution to the
business. When we established Wentworth through the reverse takeover of
Artumas, there were substantial changes required to rationalise the asset
base, significantly reduce G&A, and manage the Company through legacy issues,
which would not have been possible without Geoffs clear management and
direction. Under Geoffs management we have transitioned the Company to where
we are now: establishing a growth platform business both in terms of
production and cash flow and with upside from our potentially world class
exploration and appraisal asset in Mozambique.

As we enter this process of improving alignment of our corporate structure
with our shareholder and asset base, the business is in excellent shape to
take advantage of the opportunity to deliver the next phase of growth, both
in Tanzania and Mozambique, and potentially beyond these jurisdictions and I
look forward to working with a new CEO to achieve this.
