Nevtah Continues the Production Stabilization of Its Successful Joint Venture Utah Tar Sands Pilot Plant Project and Unveils Its Corporate Website

Nevtah Capital Management, Inc. (OTC: NTAH) announces the completion of its corporate website, www.nevtahoilsands.com, which includes all details of its successful pilot plant project in Utah with its joint venture partner, Black Sand Energy Corp. (Name recently changed from Cassandra Energy Corp.).

The pilot plant project has now been in operation since the first week of November, 2005 at the Asphalt Ridge lease location. The joint venture partners are now stabilizing the pilot plant's production process, which will operate at 5 barrels per hour for 20 hours per day and a daily total of 100 barrels per day.

The joint venture partners' highly mobile extraction units are scalable and are easily transported. Tar sand extraction costs including transportation are extremely attractive at less than $12.50 USD per barrel. The joint venture partners have been focusing on stabilizing the production process with several system improvements including the winterization of the extraction plant and its support equipment to maintain processing levels at cold temperatures. A steam jacket has also been installed which creates drier sand and keeps the pumps, plumbing and the extraction chamber warmer during standby time, minimizing warm-up time.

System performance will also be improved with the installation of more powerful pumps and additional sensors for better indications of mass flow, temperature and material levels. The upgrade will provide better process control and will provide more precise data required in order to measure the system's performance. The joint venture partners intend to construct a commercial 2,000 barrel per day plant during 2006 which would have an annual production of 800,000 bbl/yr at 91% capacity. If a tar sand deposit is 100 feet thick and has 1.0 barrel of oil per cubic yard, it would result in only 5 acres being processed per year, creating a minimal footprint, minimizing environmental impact and reducing remedial mining costs.

The joint venture partnership intends to expand to an additional lease location in the spring of 2006 and plans eventually to implement extraction plants on all 14 of its leases in the Utah Tar Sands. The partnership also intends on pursuing other joint venture opportunities in US, Canada and other countries in the world possessing oil sand resources.
