JOINT NEWS RELEASE

Montello and Redwood Sign Legend Block Option Agreement With Kennecott

Montello Resources Ltd. ("Montello") and Redwood Resources Ltd. ("Redwood") announce that
the signing has taken place of the formal Legend Property Option Agreement with Kennecott
Canada Exploration, Inc. ("Kennecott"). The option agreement will entitle Kennecott to earn a
60% interest in the Legend Property (70% Montello/30% Redwood) located in the province of
Alberta. The Legend Property consists of approximately 1.5 million acres and is located 55 km to
the northeast of the latest Ashton kimberlite pipes. All payments and private placements shall be
divided 70% to Montello and 30% to Redwood. Redwood has waived its right to earn an
additional 20% interest in the Legend Property.

As previously announced on July 24, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the option agreement,
Kennecott must make private placements in Montello and Redwood of the cumulative amount of
$275,000 on closing. The initial private placement of $275,000 shall be for 256,666 units of
Montello at a price of CDN$0.75 per unit and 55,000 units of Redwood at a price of $1.50 per
unit. The warrants attached to the units shall be exercisable at $1.50 for Montello and $3.00 for
Redwood at any time prior to July 21, 2000. A subsequent firm private placement of $175,000
must be made on or before January 15, 1999 and a $600,000 private placement must be made
upon commencement of a 10 tonne bulk sample on any kimberlite pipe on the property. The
pricing of the $175,000 private placement and the $600,000 private placement shall be the 10 day
trading average immediately preceding that date plus 25%. Each private placement shall consist of
a common share and a share purchase warrant exercisable at a price equal to 150% of the private
placement price for two years from the date of the private placement. The private placements are
subject to regulatory approval.

Kennecott shall solely make all expenditures required to bring the project to a mutual decision to
mine or by making exploration expenditures totalling $30 Million over seven years, whichever shall
occur first. Kennecott shall expend $500,000 prior to May 30, 1999 and an additional
$4,500,000 on or before May 30, 2003. Upon the commencement of commercial production
from a mine located within the Property boundaries, Kennecott shall pay the additional sum of
$2,000,000.

There are currently forest fires on the Legend Property. Kennecott will mobilize a drill program on
anomalies previously identified on the Legend Property as soon as forest fire conditions allow.
