Kaiser Bottom-Fish Tracker Thursday, November 20, 1997 DAZ-V DIAZ RESOURCES LTD ANNUAL REVIEW OF 1997 BOTTOM-FISH Outlook: Buy as oil & gas bottom-fish Tel: (403) 266-6400 Iss: 25,058,203 Dil: 28,843,203 WC: $2,200,000 Initial Buy Range: $0.30-$0.49 Hi-Lo-Close: $0.80-$0.33-$0.56 During 1997 Bob Lamond got serious about kick-starting Diaz when he agreed to do a private placement of 5 million special warrants at $0.50 brokered by Canaccord's Chan Buckland. Lamond's holding company, Humboldt Capital, sold 2 million free trading shares and replaced them with 2 million units. The BPI Opportunities II Fund took a 2 million unit block, while the rest was spread around. Diaz remains a modest gas producer, but hopes to be catapulted into a much bigger league through its 33 1/3% interest in the US $2 million gas well on the Cabeza Creek prospect in Texas. This well is to be spudded by early December and targets a 70 Bcf structure in the Lower Wilcox formation. A successful well should push Diaz over $1 and give it a sound foundation to develop additional gas prospects. Diaz is also in a JV with Lamond's Orbit Oil & Gas in Colombia, where they each have a 25% interest in a 187,000 acre Payara concession in the Llanos Basin 40 miles east of the 2.5 billion barrel Cusiana field. Everybody is well positioned in Diaz, the company is reasonably financed, and a wildcat well is about to be spudded. That makes Diaz a pretty good oil & gas bottom-fish buy. *John Kaiser owns shares of Diaz All information contained within is copywritten.
