Gravis Oil Corporation Files Reserve Report

CALGARY, Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - The Board of Directors of Gravis Oil Corporation., (the "Company" or "Gravis"), (OTCBB:GRAVF) is pleased to announce that GLJ Petroleum Consultants ("GLJ"), an independent petroleum consulting firm, has updated prior estimates of crude oil volumes and computed a net present value ("NPV") cash flow evaluation report of reserves and contingent resources for the core assets held in Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky. No evaluation has been performed on the Company's Montana assets. The GLJ report was prepared as of July 28, 2011 with an effective date of April 30, 2011 pursuant to National Instrument 51-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities" of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Company's filings under NI 51-101 can be found at www.sedar.com in Canada and at www.sec.gov in the U.S.

According to the independent reserve report, Gravis produced 28,045 barrels of heavy oil during the period of May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011. During the same period, Company Working Interest Proved Reserves increased from 445,000 barrels to 463,000 barrels. This increase in reserves after production was achieved by two means. First, in July, 2010 the Company purchased the remaining 10% working interest in its Grassy Creek and Marmaton River projects in Missouri; and second, the Company demonstrated recovery in Phase 1 of its Marmaton River Project equaling the previously stated Proved Reserves estimate, resulting in an increase in overall oil recovery estimates from 20% to 21% of Original Oil in Place in both Marmaton River and Grassy Creek projects. GLJ has assigned a net present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of US$53.57 million to total Proved plus Probable plus Possible Reserves ("PPP") of 3.672 million barrels. The PPP reserves were comprised of 0.463 million barrels of Total Proved Reserves, 0.904 million barrels of Probable Reserves and 2.305 million barrels of Possible Reserves. Possible Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than Probable Reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Readers are cautioned that the estimated values disclosed do not necessarily represent fair market value. Gravis will continue to pursue recognition of the value through prudent management of the business and effective execution of activities in the field.
