Diaz Updates Lloydminster Development Program and Enters Into Farmout Agreement

Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DZR) announces today that it has successfully
drilled the second well in its four well development program. The well,
106/15-18-48-1W4 encountered 620 meters of porous oil stained sand and appears
to exhibit excellent reservoir qualities. This well, along with the previously
announced 105/15-18-48-1W4 well will be completed next week, now that the
drilling rig has been moved from the pad to the third development well at
107/15-18-48-1W4.


Diaz also announces that, with the approval of its independent Board member, it
has entered into a farmout, option and participation agreement (the "Farmout
Agreement") with Tuscany Energy Ltd. (TSXV: "TUS") to drill a step out well at
Lloydminster, the fourth in the current program. 


The Farmout Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Tuscany will pay
75% of the drilling, completion and equipping costs (the "Test Well Drilling
Costs") of a horizontal test well (the "Test Well") located on the east half of
7-48-1 W4M (the "Farmout Lands") to earn a 35% interest in the Test Well after
payout (65% before payout), and an additional 35% working interest in the
balance of the Farmout Lands. Diaz will pay 5% of the Test Well Drilling Costs
and retain a 45% interest in the Test Well after payout (15% before payout plus
a 5% to 15% convertible gross overriding royalty) and a 45% working interest in
the balance of the Farmout Lands. Tuscany already holds a 20% interest in the
Farmout Lands and will pay the remaining 20% of the Test Well Drilling Costs in
connection therewith. The aggregate Test Well Drilling Costs are currently
estimated to be $950,000, with spudding of the test well to occur on or before
September 1, 2011, subject to rig availability, surface access and regulatory
approval.


Under the Farmout Agreement, Diaz and Tuscany will also conduct a 3D seismic
program on 31-50-4 W4M (the "Option Lands") prior to November 1, 2011, following
which the parties may elect to drill an option well (the "Option Well") on the
Option Lands on or before March 1, 2012 (subject to rig availability, surface
access and regulatory approval), with Tuscany paying 65% of the drilling,
completion and equipping costs (the "Option Well Drilling Costs") to earn a 35%
interest in the Option Well after payout (65% before payout), and an additional
35% working interest in the balance of the Option Lands. Diaz will pay 15% of
the Option Well Drilling Costs and retain a 45% interest in the Option Well
after payout (15% before payout plus a 5% to 15% convertible gross overriding
royalty) and a 45% working interest in the balance of the Option Lands. Tuscany
already holds a 20% interest in the Option Lands and will pay the remaining 20%
of the Option Well Drilling Costs in connection therewith. In the event that the
parties determine to drill the option well, Tuscany will also pay Diaz a fee of
$174,000 for geological, land acquisition and carrying costs.

Robert W. Lamond, who is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
each of Diaz and Tuscany. Mr. Lamond is also the Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Humboldt Capital Corporation, which together with Mr.
