RENAISSANCE ANNOUNCES COMPANY UPDATE AND FILING

OF ITS Q1 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS


May 28, 2015 – Vancouver, BC – Renaissance Oil Corp. (the “Company or Renaissance”) (TSX-V: ROE) is pleased to announce it has filed its financial statements and related Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 on SEDAR.  The financial statements and MD&A will be available through the Company’s website or at www.sedar.com


Renaissance has continued to make significant progress in its evaluation of oil and gas development and exploration opportunities in Mexico.  Along with its technical services partner, Halliburton Energy Services Inc., Renaissance has invested in excess of $1.5 million and over 1,500 collective hours, since September 2014, towards the evaluation and prioritization of petroleum fields in Mexico.  Further, Renaissance has been active in 2015 in establishing key relationships and effective channels of communication through extensive high level meetings with various government agencies in Mexico, as well as with potential local partners for the development of business opportunities for the Company. We expect 2015 to be a significant year as Mexico reforms its energy market, transitioning from the current PEMEX controlled industry to the allowance of private enterprises to make direct investments into oil and gas exploration and development.


On May 12, 2015, the National Hydrocarbons Commission of Mexico launched the third phase (“Phase 3”) of the Round 1 bid process for the award of conventional onshore petroleum projects.  As part of Phase 3, a total of 26 blocks in the states of Chiapas, Nuevo Leon, Tabasco, Tamaulipas and Veracruz will be awarded to the winners of the tender process.  Most of these blocks contain fields with certifiable reserves and existing infrastructure which are of specific interest to Renaissance.

 

The pre-qualification criteria has now been more clearly defined and Renaissance is confident it is on track to participate in the privatization process. The data room for Phase 3 will open on June 1, 2015, with a deadline to submit prequalification documents by October 2, 2015, and final bids are due by December 15, 2015.
