Diaz Raises $1.6 Million From Non-Core Property Sales

Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DZR) announces today that it has sold, through
separate transactions, three non-core properties with a fourth transaction to
close by August 30, 2011. The sale of the properties, which comprised minor
production volumes, will generate approximately $1.6 million, net to Diaz. 


The sales proceeds will be used to completely fund Diaz's Lloydminster four well
horizontal development program.


Robert W. Lamond, President, commented that "With these non-core asset sale
proceeds, I am pleased that Diaz can drill its four well horizontal program at
Lloydminster without having to utilize the Company's credit facility, which
remains undrawn."


"The property sales announced today," continued Mr. Lamond, "represent a
continuation of Diaz's strategy to diligently redeploy capital from
non-strategic assets to our emerging heavy oil opportunity base. The Company
will continue to look for opportunities to rationalize its non-core property
holdings to fund oil-focused development drilling." 


Diaz is an oil and gas exploration and production company based in Calgary,
Alberta. Diaz's current focus is on oil development and exploration in Alberta
and Saskatchewan.
