Mira Clarifies Terminology Relating to Independent Resource Assessment for the Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place ...

Mira Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MRP) ("Mira") and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Equinox TSB Development (Nigeria) Limited are very pleased to announce the RPS
Energy Independent Resource Assessment for the Discovered Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place in the tested reservoirs of Tom Shot Bank Field. "Discovered
Petroleum Initially-In-Place" is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated,
as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production.
There is a 462% growth in the Independent Certified Discovered Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place P 50 estimate from the previous 2010 NSAI Certified
Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place completed prior to the reentry of
TSB 1.


The U 7 Certified Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place in the U 7 Best
Estimate P 50 or 2C increased from 6.57 Million Barrels of Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place (NSAI) to 65 Million Barrels of Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place. The U 9 Reservoir which was not tested in the 2011 Reentry
was assessed by NSAI in 2010 at 14.89 Million Barrels of Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place has been assessed at 18.9 Million Barrels of Total Petroleum
Initially-In-Place with another 26.5 million Barrels of Prospective Total
Petroleum Initially-In-Place by the RPS Group with a 76% geologic chance of
success. The conversion of the Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place to
Independently Certified Recoverable Resources is currently being worked by
Schlumberger Nigeria Nodal Analyses Group and will be announced when they have
completed the revised Economic Model for the proposed Early Production Facility
and the proposed fixed platform in the updated NI 51-101.


The consolidated Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place for Tom Shot Bank
Field from RPS is as follows:




P 90            59.6     MMstb
P 50           100.0     MMstb
P 10           168.0     MMstb



Prospective Oil in the U 9 Reservoir with a GPOS (Geologic Probability of
Success) of 76%




P 90            8.62     MMstb
P 50            26.5     MMstb
P 10            58.3     MMstb



Johnathan More, CEO of Mira, states, "We are pleased with the significant growth
in the Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place assessment in the one reservoir we
tested in 2011 and anticipate further positive increases in the other reservoirs
when we drill TSB 3. If we had tested the laminated nature of the reservoirs in
the U 9 it is our interpretation we would have seen a similar increase in the
Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place in the U 9 as RPS has documented
in the U 7. The U 8, U 5 and the attic oil in the U 3 will be fully evaluated
with TSB 3 as well as the anticipated conversion of the existing Discovered
Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place to resources, reserves and the determination
of the extent of the laminated reservoirs. We firmly believe we will see
significant increases in Discovered Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place and the
conversion to resources and reserves when TSB 3 is drilled. Furthermore, all
permitting necessary to drill TSB 3 is underway and we anticipate having all
necessary permits completed by the end of the 3rd quarter of 2012."


Our recently appointed exclusive financial advisor, First Energy Capital, will
be opening their data room this month for the possible sale of Mira. Mira's
Board of Directors, in response to several expressions of interest, has
established a special committee with a mandate, in consultation with First
Energy, to solicit, review and consider strategic alternatives and to make
recommendations to the Board as to whether any proposed transactions are in the
best interests of Mira and its shareholders.


TSB Field is located within Oil Prospecting License 276 ("OPL 276") which is
adjacent to the Abana Field in Oil Mining License 114 and due north of Addax
Petroleum Corp. in Oil Mining License 123 ("OML 123"). Addax Petroleum Corp. is
producing almost 50,000 BOPD from multiple fields within OML 123. TSB Field was
discovered by Shell Petroleum in 1980 and encountered 425 Gross Feet of
hydrocarbon pay, 57 net feet of gas and 83 net feet of oil proven pay with
another possible 111 net feet of oil and 29 net feet of gas pay in reservoirs
which Shell Petroleum interpreted as probable laminated reservoirs. 


There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion
of the resources in the Tom Shot Bank Field.


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Johnathan More, C.E.O. and Director
