Diaz Files Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information as of December 31, 2012

08/02/2013 1:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DZR) ("Diaz" or the "Company") today filed its
Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information as of December 31,
2012.


Summary of 2012 Reserves

The Company recorded a year-over-year 18% decrease in proved plus probable
reserves to 1,005 MBOE at December 31, 2012. The estimated net present value of
future net revenue attributable to the Company's reserves, before tax, using a
10% discount rate, decreased by 24% to $12.2 million (88% oil), compared with
$15.9 million at December 31, 2011.


The decrease in reserves resulted primarily from lower heavy oil and natural gas
prices used in the independent reserves report upon which the Statement of
Reserves Data is based compared with the prices used in the 2011 independent
reserves report. Downward technical revisions to the Company's Lloydminster
heavy oil property were partially offset by extensions at the Company's Macklin
property.


The Company's December 31, 2012 reserves were evaluated in accordance with the
Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and National Instrument 51-101
Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities by McDaniel and Associates
Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"), independent reserves evaluators of Calgary,
Alberta, in a report prepared by McDaniel dated February 1, 2013 and effective
December 31, 2012 (the "McDaniel Report").




                                                      
The following summary is based on the McDaniel Report.

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis, natural
gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil on the basis of six thousand
cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). BOE figures may be misleading, particularly
if used in isolation. A BOE conversion of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is
based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the
burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given
that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to
natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 mcf: 1
bbl, using a conversion on a 6 mcf: 1 bbl basis may be misleading as an
indication of value. References to oil in this discussion include crude oil and
natural gas liquids (NGLs).
