Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (DIB-V) (Dia Bras or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional results of its ongoing drilling program at the Bolivar Cu-Zn project.

Drill Hole DIA-145 is one of several holes drilled in advance of the Company’s production stopes to expand the mineralized zone in the immediate mining area.  Results from holes DIA-139, DIA-141, & DIA-143 were announced previously.  Each of the four (4) holes has penetrated massive sulfide mineralization.

Hole DIA-145 cut 7 metres of 24.51 g/t silver, 1.54% copper and 16.70% zinc including 4 metres averaging 36.43 g/t silver, 2.46% copper and 25.28% zinc within a much longer interval of mineralized skarn, as shown in the table below.  This interval is five meters in front of and 25 meters above a current working stope.

“The drill results we just received on Hole DIA-145 and the previously released results on DIA-139, 141 and 143 have confirmed our expectations of a large skarn system rich in copper and zinc.  Our NI43-101 report on the Bolivar project to quantify the resource should be available within a few weeks and will be filed on Sedar.” said Rejean Gosselin, the Company’s President.

Mr. André St-Michel, engineer and Executive Vice-President of Dia Bras, is the qualified person within the meaning of NI43-101.  Drill samples were assayed by ALS Chemex Labs Ltd.
