Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (DIB-V) (Dia Bras or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of hole 87 which is the first vertical drill hole in the Bolivar Mine which was targeted to intersect the shallow dipping skarn mineralized horizon at the intersection of two faults. This hole was drilled as result of recommendations of Dr. Thomas L. Robyn consulting geologist on the project. The results are:

Hole #	From	To	Thickness (m)	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)	Cu (%)	Zn (%)
87	37.00	56.00	19.00	0.072	37.90	2.21	13.84
Including	38.00	46.00	8.00	0.138	68.90	4.19	25.84

According to Dr. Thomas L. Robyn: “The results of this hole confirm the exploration model developed by the Company during a recent project review. This confirmation indicates the company will rapidly discover additional structurally controlled mineralization. The mineralized structure is part of a fault zone that extends over 10 kilometers on the company’s property in a NW SE direction. This fault also hosts several other mineralized areas that are yet to be evaluated by the company such as La Montura, La Pequeña and La Increíble where preliminary investigation has identified high grade zinc/copper mineralization”.

Zone	Hole #	Thickness (m)	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)	Cu (%)	Zn (%)
Valenzuela Increible *	3	9.00	-	144.00	4.91	5.38
La Montura *	Channel samples	6.00	-	34.00	3.69	7.80
La Pequeña *	Channel samples	6.00	-	237.00	3.84	0.72

* Results were previously announced on June 30, 2004.

Mr. André St-Michel, engineer, from the Company, is the qualified person who supervised the exploration program.
