Mira Commences Re-Entry and Testing Operations at Tom Shot Bank 1

Mira Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MRP) ("Mira") and its wholly owned subsidiary
Equinox TSB Development (Nigeria) Limited are pleased to announce that they have
commenced operations at Tom Shot Bank Field. 


Mira accepted the Ben Avon Jack Up Rig (the "Rig") on October 14th and the Rig
arrived at our location on October 19th. The final pre-loading was concluded in
the early morning hours on October 24th and the re-entry process of Tom Shot
Bank 1 has commenced. Dependent of the testing program, the program will range
from 15 to 41 days.


Thomas Cavanagh, President Mira Resources stated, "After several months of
delays on the rig's previous location, we are pleased to announce that as of
October 24th, 2011 we have successfully positioned the Ben Avon Rig at Tom Shot
Bank 1 and have started the reentry and evaluation procedures. The combination
of the shallow water, strong surface/tidal currents with the variable shallow
subsurface conditions made this a complex operation requiring an extensive
pre-load of the jack up legs to ensure a safe operation. This has been completed
and we have begun the re-entry process."


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.
