</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FORT WORTH, Texas, January&nbsp;20, 2009  &#151;  Compass Bank, as Trustee of the San Juan Basin
Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of
beneficial interest of $1,931,801.82 or $0.041447 per unit, based principally upon production
during the month of November&nbsp;2008. The distribution is payable February&nbsp;13, 2009, to unit holders
of record as of January&nbsp;30, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gas production for the properties from which the royalty was carved (the &#147;Underlying
Properties&#148;) totaled approximately 2,978,566 Mcf (3,220,977 MMBtu). Dividing revenues by
production volume yielded an average gas price for November&nbsp;2008 of $3.15 per Mcf ($2.91 per
MMBtu) as compared to $4.78 per Mcf ($4.50 per MMBtu) for October&nbsp;2008. The average gas price may
vary significantly from the posted index price for the San Juan Basin. The index price is a gross
sales price, and the revenues used in the calculation of average gas prices are net of
transportation, processing and gathering costs. Furthermore, the distribution to the Trust in any
given month may include significant volume adjustments for sales in prior months that reflect
pricing for those prior months. Capital costs for the month were $2,752,149. Lease operating
expenses were $3,166,066 and taxes were $969,203.
