Dia Bras Receives First NI 43-101 Report on the Bolivar Cu-Zn Project, Resource Evaluation Moves Into Measured and Indicated.MONTREAL -- Dia Bras Exploration (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:DIB (1) (Directory Information Base) Also called "white pages," a database of names in an X.500 system. (2) (Device Independent B ) is pleased to announce Mineral Resources Noun 1. mineral resources - natural resources in the form of minerals natural resource, natural resources - resources (actual and potential) supplied by nature for the Bolivar deposit. The Company has received a technical report for the Bolivar Cu-Zn Project, titled "Technical Report on the Bolivar Cu-Zn Project, State of Chihuahua, Mexico", dated October 25, 2005. The report was prepared by Hryar Agnerian, M.Sc. (Applied), P.Geo, from Roscoe Postle Associates (RPA RPA Remote Patron Authentication RPA Rural Payments Agency (UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) RPA Replication Protein A RPA RNAse Protection Assay RPA Regional Plan Association RPA Random-Phase Approximation ) independent Qualified Persons under NI 43-101 standards. The complete technical report is available under Dia Bras Exploration on the SEDAR SEDAR System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval SEDAR Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review website at www.sedar.com and on Dia Bras' website at www.diabras.com.

Both of these trends have been partly outlined by diamond drill holes as well as by underground development. RPA has estimated the Mineral Resources of the Bolivar deposit using the database from the 133 drill holes which Dia Bras has provided.These drill holes have been completed during 2004. The Mineral Resources estimate for Bolivar deposit used a cut-off cut-off Anesthesiology The point at which elongation of the carbon chain of the 1-alkanol family of anesthetics results in a precipitous drop in the anesthetic potential of these agents–eg, at > 12 carbons in length, there is little anesthetic activity, grade based on the approximate average prices for copper and zinc zinc, metallic chemical element; symbol Zn; at. no. 30; at. wt. 65.38; m.p. 419.58°C;; b.p. 907°C;; sp. gr. 7.133 at 25°C;; valence +2. Zinc is a lustrous bluish-white metal. It is found in Group 12 of the periodic table. , production cost and expected recovery in the resource model. RPA has used an over-all recovery of approximately 75% for copper and 80% for zinc. This is based on the five month production record (February to June 2005) at the Malpaso mill. RPA has used the production costs as determined by Dia Bras for underground mining at Bolivar. These costs are reported to be similar to other copper-zinc operations of similar scale in Mexico. At a copper price of around US$1.60 /lb. Cu and US$0.58 /lb. Zn, the cut-off grade for the Bolivar deposit resource estimate is calculated as 1.0% Cu and 6% Zn (3.4% Cu Equivalent). RPA recommends that this cut-off grade be used to report Mineral Resources. The Mineral Resources on the Bolivar Deposit are summarized in the following table:

Notes:
1. CIM Definitions were followed for the resource estimate.
2. Mineral Resources are estimated at a cutoff grade of 1% Cu and 6%
Zn, an average copper price of US$1.60 per lb and an average zinc
price of US$0.58 per lb, and a minimum width of 2.4 m for a
mineralized zone.
3. Density of mineralized rock is 3.42 t/m3
Exploration Potential The Bolivar Mine is a past producer of copper-zinc and on-going exploration by Dia Bras continues to extend known zones of copper, zinc, silver and gold mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. along strike of the Rosario Trend as well as the Fernandez Trend, near the Bolivar Adit adit (ăd`ĭt), in mining, underground passage excavated nearly horizontally, with one end open to the earth's surface, usually used to service a mine. The adit end is the furthermost end from the surface, i.e., the location where miners work. . Recent drilling and prospecting around the Bolivar mine area have discovered new target areas within zones of skarn-type hydrothermal hydrothermal, hydrothermic relating to the temperature effects of water, as in hot baths. alteration. Such a new zone located 125 metres west of the Bolivar shaft returned 1.34% Cu, 1.16% Zn, 47 g/t Ag over 26 meters and 0,78% Cu, 0.44% Zn and 17 g/t Ag over 34 meters in DIA-41 and DIA-44 respectively. A similar zone, cut by DIA-127 and DIA-128 collared 600 meters south of the shaft, returned 1.14% Cu, 0.06% Zn, 61.35 g/t Ag and 3.08 g/t Au over 4 meters. Rosoe Postel & Associates recommends a systematic exploration program including drilling as well as a scoping study to assess the economic potential of the Bolivar deposit. Drill results will be issued as they become available. Dia Bras has already initiated such a program and has three drill rigs, two on surface and one underground, testing all the mineralized structures continuously.
