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,
exploitation, production, marketing and transportation, loss of markets,
volatility of commodity prices, currency fluctuations, environmental risks,
competition from other producers, inability to retain drilling rigs and other
services, capital expenditure costs, including drilling, completion and
facilities costs, delays resulting from or inability to obtain required
regulatory approvals and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and
external sources. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that
the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
The estimates of Diaz's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is
no guarantee that the estimated reserves or resources with be recovered. In
addition, forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of
material factors, expectations or assumptions of Diaz which have been used to
develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect.
Although Diaz believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on
forward- looking statements because Diaz can give no assurance that such
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
and equity financing and cash flow to fund Diaz's current and future plans and
expenditures; the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the
economic and political environment in which Diaz operates; the general
continuance of current industry conditions; the timely receipt of any required
regulatory approvals; the ability of Diaz to obtain qualified staff, equipment
and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; drilling results; the
ability of the operator of the projects in which Diaz has an interest in to
operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; the ability of Diaz
to obtain financing on acceptable terms; future commodity prices; currency,
exchange and interest rates; regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes and
environmental matters in the jurisdictions in which Diaz operates; and the
ability of Diaz to successfully market its oil and natural gas products.
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
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws.
