Diaz Releases December 31, 2011 Reserves Evaluation and Updates Macklin Development

13/04/2012 2:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DZR) today released the December 31, 2012,
Reserve Evaluation and updates the Macklin, Saskatchewan, heavy oil development.


2011 Reserves

The Company recorded a 63% decrease in proved plus probable reserves to 1,221
MBOE at December 31, 2011. The net present value of the Company's reserves,
before tax, using a 10% discount rate, decreased by 58% to $15.9 million (90%
oil), compared with $37.97 million at December 31, 2010.


The decrease in reserves was primarily due to low natural gas prices resulting
in the majority of Diaz's natural gas properties becoming uneconomic.


The Company's December 31, 2011 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 March 26, 2012 and effective
December 31, 2011 (the "McDaniel Report").


The following summary is based on the McDaniel Report.

ADVISORY: Certain information in this news release, including drilling plans and
projected drilling, completion and equipping costs, and production rates from
the Lloydminster and Macklin fields may constitute forward-looking statements
under applicable securities laws and necessarily involve risks including,
without limitation, risks associated with oil and gas exploration, development,

expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors and
assumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made
regarding, among other things: that Diaz will continue to conduct its operations
in a manner consistent with past operations; results from drilling and
development activities consistent with past operations; the continued and timely
development of infrastructure in areas of new production; the accuracy of the
estimates of Diaz's reserve and resource volumes; continued availability of debt

Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) basis, natural
gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil at 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. References to oil in
this discussion include crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs).


The forward looking statements contained in this press release are made as of
the date hereof and Diaz undertakes no obligations to update publicly or revise
any forward looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
