STATEMENT RELATING TO DIA BRAS OCTOBER 5 PRESS RELEASE

Montréal, Québec, - October 6, 2005 -

Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (DIB-V) (Dia Bras or the "Company") reports the following additional information and clarification on the resource disclosure contained in its press release issued yesterday (October 5, 2005).

Brecha Linda
Diamond drilling, underground sampling, and mining/milling data show 150,000-250,000 tonnes of indicated resource averaging 2-3% copper and 12-15% zinc on the accessed portion of Level 1. While the Company has adequate technical data to support these figures, a 43-101 report is in progress that will document this conclusion.

South Bolivar-type copper-magnetite mineralized Zone
Dia Bras has completed 24 diamond drill holes in the South Bolivar-type copper-magnetite skarn mineralization, which show that it averages 20 meters thick and extends over 300 meters N-S and 250 meters E-W. The zone is open to the east, south and north, and additional drilling is expected to extend the area of mineralization. The Company has not completed assay and metallurgical studies on the mineralization, and the economic potential of this deposit is conceptual in nature until these studies are complete. The Company's drill sites are spaced such that the continuity and predictability of the skarn is well demonstrated, and a 43-101 report will document the results.
