Diaz's second Lloydminster well on production

CALGARY , Nov. 17 /CNW/ - Diaz Resources Ltd. (TSX: DZR) is pleased to announce that the Lloyd 102/06-18-48-1 W4 well, which is the second well in its Lloydminster development program, started production on November 9, 2009 and is currently producing 120 Bopd (60 Bopd net). Diaz is the operator and holds a 50% working interest in this well.

Diaz plans to drill two more Lloydminster wells this year, with the next well slated for later this month. Following evaluation of the new wells, Diaz plans to work with its partner to accelerate development of the field during 2010. In addition, the ERCB has approved a holding covering section 18-48-1 W4 which allows for up to 64 wells to be drilled, consistent with other holdings in the area.

Diaz has also closed the acquisition of the mineral rights covering 400 acres to the south of section 18-48-1 W4 which, based on Diaz's interpretation of seismic and geology, is also prospective for Lloydminster oil production. Diaz holds an 80% working interest in this new tract of land.
