Pintail #1 Natural Gas Well in Colorado County, Texas, by Rock Energy
Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RCKE) over PR Newswire, we are advised by
the company that the first paragraph, second sentence, should read "The well
has achieved an initial flow rate of 300 MCFD (thousand cubic feet per
day)..." rather than "The well has achieved an initial flow rate of 300
million cubic feet..." as originally issued inadvertently. Complete, corrected
release follows: Rock Energy Announces Successful Recompletion of Pintail #1
Natural Gas Well in Colorado County, Texas

On Pace to Achieve Positive Net Income in Fourth Quarter of 2008

HOUSTON, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rock Energy Resources, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: RCKE), an independent domestic oil and natural gas
company, today announced that it has successfully recompleted the Pintail #1
well in the Upper Wilcox, located in the Garwood Field in Colorado County,
Texas. The well has achieved an initial flow rate of 300 MCFD (thousand cubic
feet per day) on a 7/64 inch choke with flowing tubing pressure of 1650 psi.
Estimated cash on cash payout of Pintail #1 is an estimated 21 days. The
Company has budgeted $2.1 million for Wilcox recompletion activities through
year-end. The 2009 budget, providing for all Wilcox drilling activities in
South Texas, is $14 million.
On May 20, 2008, Rock Energy reported that it assumed operatorship of the
Garwood Field after acquiring certain additional working interests in the
Wilcox trend underlying the project. At that time, in-depth technical
evaluation of possible well recompletions was implemented by the Company with
an objective of identifying recompletion opportunities that might have been
overlooked by the previous operator. The Pintail #1 well is the first of
three possible wells identified and prioritized for recompletion prior to the
end of the year. Up to five additional development locations have also been
identified with drilling on these potential sites expected to commence in
2009. As previously announced, proven, probable and possible natural gas
reserves in the Garwood project are estimated to exceed 40 billion cubic feet.
Chairman and CEO Rocky Emery noted that production from this first
recompletion alone helps to drive the Company "half way to our goal of
profitability by the fourth quarter of this year." Continuing, he said, "It
should be noted that our success with Pintail #1 is a direct reflection of the
outstanding operational and technical expertise of Tom Elliot, Rock Energy's
Chief Operating Officer, whose 40-year career has encompassed more than 250
successful recompletions in the Wilcox."
"When coupled with our successful steaming operations on the Orcutt
Diatomite field in Central California, anticipated revenue generation from
this first Wilcox recompletion should help us to readily achieve the financial
objectives outlined in the 2009 and 2010 financial guidance we issued last
month, and positive net income in the fourth quarter of 2008," concluded
Emery.
