SEATTLE, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Legend Oil and Gas Ltd. LOGL ("Legend", the "Company") announced today that the Company has withdrawn from the  24th Annual ROTH Conference on March 11-14, 2012 as previously announced in its press release dated March 2, 2012. In conjunction, Legend also advises that ROTH Capital Partners LLC ("Roth") will no longer serve as the Company's Designated Advisor for Disclosure (DAD) for its application to move to the OTCQX.  Issues with respect to Roth's support of the Company in its bid to move to the senior tier of the OTC Markets necessitated this decision.  This also delays Legend's application to move to the OTCQX, which will not be finalized by the middle of March 2012 as originally anticipated.

Marshall Diamond-Goldberg, President of Legend, stated, "While we are disappointed our efforts to move to the OTCQX have been delayed, we are committed to having our shares quoted and traded on a more senior market than the OTCBB. Our operations and fundamentals remain strong while we continue to grow our company through the drill bit and acquisitions. As always, we remain committed to strengthening our position in the marketplace and improving our shareholder value."
