Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (DIB-V) (Dia Bras or the "Company") s pleased to announce that since the acquisition of the Bolivar Property on September 14, 2004, the Company has drilled 33 holes of which results have been received for 20.

This drilling campaign has demonstrated that the high grade Cu-Zn mineralization occurs along two 100-meter spaced parallel faults on the property. Mineralization is recognized for 250 meters along both structures and still open at depth and along strikes to the NW and SE.

The high grade Cu-Zn massive sulfides lenses are usually associated with or within envelopes of lower grade economic material. Only the results of the high-grade intersections are listed below:

* Results on holes 45 and 52 were previously announced on September 8, 2004.

Partial Results on the Promontorio Property

Partial results of the first DDH completed on the Promontorio project are listed below.  The hole cut two mineralized structures approximately 100 meters below the previous deepest drill intersection.
