Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “Dia Bras”) announces the results for the holes # 8 to 15, part of the 70 hole-drilling program which is currently testing the Val/Valenzuela polymetallic structure. Hole DIA-012-04 intersected two mineralized zones, including a 49-meter thick intersection grading 1.07% Cu, 17.4 g/t Ag and 0.77% Zn.

The holes #8, 10, 12, 14 and 15 were drilled to test the Zone Increible where hole DIA-003-03 has returned a high grade section of  9 meters grading 4.91% Cu, 144 g/t Ag and 5.38% Zn. The results are listed below:

ZONE INCREIBLE
Hole DIA-008-04 overshot the mineralized breccia and returned in the first meters:

Hole DIA-010-04 was stopped short of the zone. No values to show.

Hole DIA-012-04, located on the Zone Increible, cuts the mineralized breccia from surface to 94 meters and returned these results:

Hole DIA-014-04 and DIA-015-04 returned several mineralized zones over short widths. It is interesting to note that for the first time gold was reported in the Zone Increible.

DIA-014-04:
From 4 to 7 meters 1.57 g/t Au, 61.2 g/t Ag and 0.86% Cu over 3 meters,
from 13 to 15 meters 30.9 g/t Ag and 1.38% Cu over 2 meters and
from 62 to 65 meters 23 g/t Ag, 0.77% Cu and 2.29% Zn over 3 meters.

DIA-015-04:
From 13 to 18 meters 99 g/t Ag and 0.40% Cu over 5 meters,
from 24 to 26 meters 28.4 g/t Ag and 1.35% Cu over 2 meters,
from 31 to 34 meters 97 g/t Ag and 1.81% Cu over 3 meters and
from 36 to 37 meters 53.4 g/t Ag and 1.75% Cu over 1 meter

Hole DIA-017-04, drilled to test the El Gallo II, is now being assayed. Hole DIA-019-04, located in the same area, was started recently.

ZONE BOLIVAR NORTH
The holes DIA-009-04 and DIA-013-04 did not intersect mineralization. Hole # 13 stopped because of technical problems.

ZONE BOLIVAR NORTHWEST
The hole DIA-011-04 cuts a zone of 1 meter grading 1.93% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag and 0.19 g/t Au between 268 and 269 meters.

Holes DIA-016-04 and DIA-018-04 were drilled to test the same zone and both cut thick mineralized sections. They are now being assayed.

The Company is now operating with four drill rigs. Two machines will continue to probe the Val/Valenzuela polymetallic zones and two drills will test the 462-hectares San Jose property where five 300-metre long veins varying in thickness from 1.0 to 4.0 meters are identified. Assays on selected samples reached 6.35 g/t Au, 5215 g/t Ag, 1.33% Cu, 2.39% Zn and 30.8% Pb.
