Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. Belmont Lake Field Update

Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, January 5, 2011 Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. (COHG - OTCBB), (the "Company" or "Cheetah") announces Belmont Lake, Mississippi project update.

As of January 1^st, 7.5 miles or 90% of the pipeline infrastructure has been completed. Once the remaining pipeline is completed and pressure tested the new 12-4 & 12-5 wells will be tied in and producing by natural gas pump lift technology. The 12-4 well remains free flowing and all production fluids are currently being trucked out.

Work is also nearing completion on the SWDW (Salt Water Disposal Well) that will handle any salt water produced by the producing oil wells at Belmont Lake.

Planning is now underway for additional development wells at Belmont Lake in 2011. Last year’s drilling has confirmed the best area to drill is around the 12-1 and 12-4 producing oil wells.

Planning will also focus for the first time on our large exploration package which we already have 38 seismically defined drill locations. Our geological staff along with our partner’s staff will be refining the target selection to those targets that appear to have the highest probability of making another frio light oil discovery. “With crude oil around $90 per barrel a frio oil discovery in which we have a 40% interest going forward should have a major positive impact for all stakeholders of Cheetah .” Stated CEO Robert McAllister.

The Company looks forward to providing shareholders with updated production numbers as soon as the new infrastructure is completed and all our oil production is online.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including statements that include words such as "anticipate," "if," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "should," "will," “look-a-like,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company's best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors but they include and are not limited to the existence of underground deposits of commercial quantities of oil and gas; cessation or delays in exploration because of mechanical, weather, operating, financial or other problems; capital expenditures that are higher than anticipated; or exploration opportunities being fewer than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that expected oil and gas production will actually materialize; and thus no assurance that expected revenue will actually occur. There is no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to drill additional wells, or to complete acquisitions or other business transactions. Such forward looking statements also include estimated cash flows, revenue and current and/or future rates of production of oil and natural gas, which can and will fluctuate for a variety of reasons; oil and gas reserve quantities produced by third parties; and intentions to participate in future exploration drilling. Adverse weather conditions can delay operations, impact production, and cause reductions in revenue. The Company may not have sufficient expertise to thoroughly exploit its oil and gas properties. The Company may not have sufficient funding to thoroughly explore, drill or develop its properties. Access to capital, or lack thereof, is a major risk. Current oil and gas production rates may not be sustainable and targeted production rates may not occur. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company's public announcements and filings.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

In this press release, we have disclosed our proved reserves using the SEC's definition of proved reserves. Proved reserves are estimated quantities that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in the future from known reservoirs under the assumed economic conditions. Although the SEC now allows companies to report probable and possible reserves, we have elected not to report on such basis. Investors are urged to closely consider the disclosures and risk factors in our Forms 10-K and 10-Q, available from our offices or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, including the inherent uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves.
