SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Heavy Earth Resources, Inc. ("Heavy Earth" or the "Company") (OTCQB: HEVI), an oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Central and South America announces a new report evaluating prospective resources in the Morichito Block.

Grant W. Draper, President and CEO of Heavy Earth, said, "The resources in the Morichito Block are a pivotal part of Heavy Earth's growth strategy to assemble a balanced mix of low-risk near-term production opportunities with high-impact drilling opportunities."

The recoverable resource report from Petrotech Engineering Ltd. evaluates six low-risk exploration prospects - Norte 1, Norte 2, Morichito-8, Bototo-1, and Morichito-5 and Morichito-5B (deeper formations). Each prospect is delineated by 3D seismic data.

Draper said, "We are excited about the potentially recoverable resources in the Morichito Block as we believe they offer Heavy Earth the opportunity to grow our anticipated future production and deliver on exploration upside potential in the near-term."

The above net-present value information is taken from the resource evaluation report completed on the Morichito Block by John Yu of Petrotech Engineering Ltd. of Burnaby, British Columbia, for Heavy Earth Resources, a qualified resource evaluator. The full report dated effective August 31, 2012 and entitled "Evaluation of the Interests of Heavy Earth Resources Prospective Resources (Prospects) in the Morichito Block, Eastern Llanos Basin, Colombia" has been filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC and is accessible from Heavy Earth´s website (www.heavyearthresources.com).

Located within the Llanos Basin, Colombia, the Morichito Block consists of 57,252 gross acres (231.69km2) and is on trend with numerous productive sizable fields and surrounded by four major fields - Rubiales, Apiay, Caracara and Guarrojo.

Outlook

Heavy Earth's current plan for the Morichito Block is to commence production from the Morichito-5 discovery well and drill an additional development well. Earlier in 2012, the Company acquired, merged and interpreted 150 square kilometers of 3D seismic data to significantly add to its prospect inventory and provide new drilling opportunities for our 2013-2014 exploration program.
