Diaz Resources Ltd. Announces Revised Q2 2012 Financial Results

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Nov. 16, 2012) - Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DZR) (the "Company" or "Diaz") announces that it has filed on SEDAR its revised unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The revision resulted from an interim reserves report received by Management effective September 30, 2012. The interim reserves report indicated that Diaz's oil and gas assets were impaired as at June 30, 2012. Receipt of information after the reporting period indicating that an asset was impaired at the end of the reporting period is considered to be an adjusting event after the reporting period under IAS 10 - "Events after the Reporting Period". Calculations regarding possible impairment of the oil & gas assets confirmed that an impairment of $6.7 million was required at June 30, 2012.

Diaz is an oil and gas exploration and production company based in Calgary, Alberta. Diaz's current focus is on oil development and exploration in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
