Caesarea, Israel - March 31, 2008 - Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (Amex: ZN), of Dallas, Texas and Caesarea, Israel, filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 on March 28. The Company reported a net loss of $(13,047) thousand or $(1.34) per share for the 2007 year compared to a net loss of $(2,510) thousand or $(0.32) per share for the prior year. The Company had no revenues, as it is still an exploration stage company. As in prior years, the audit opinion from the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, Somekh Chaikin (a Member of KPMG International), included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB a 'going concern' qualification. Upon release of the 2007 annual results, Zion’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard Rinberg, commented: “During 2007 Zion became a publicly traded company, was granted its two petroleum exploration licenses, carried out one of the largest field surveys in Israel in recent years and purchased casing and other materials for drilling its planned next two wells targeted to test the Triassic and Permian geological layers. Our business is moving forward as planned."

For additional information regarding the 2007 results, as well as the Company’s future plans, please refer to the Company's latest Form 10-KSB which is available on the SEC's website www.sec.gov and at Zion’s website www.zionoil.com.
