VANCOUVER, Oct. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Jazz Resources Inc. (TSXV: JZR) announces that the Company has reprised an aggregate of 1,525,000 outstanding incentive stock options to reduce the exercise price from $0.45 to $0.17.  The options are governed by the Company's stock option plan and are an important component of the Company's executive compensation strategy providing employees, consultants, officers and directors with long-term equity-based performance incentives.  The options have been re-priced to bring them more in line with current market prices of the Company's common shares.

The re-pricing of the options is subject to regulatory approval and none of the re-priced options may be exercised prior to receipt of regulatory approval.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

"Bryan Glen"
President
