Dia Bras Exploration Inc. Announces Consolidation of Outstanding Common Shares and Exercise of Warrants

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/02/10 -- Dia Bras Exploration Inc. ('Dia Bras') (the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: DIB) announces that it has received conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the proposed consolidation of all of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (each, a 'Common Share') on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for every seven (7) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the 'Consolidation'). It is expected that the Consolidation will become effective on or about December 7, 2010. The Consolidation was approved by the shareholders of the Company at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on August 21, 2010.

Following completion of the Consolidation, the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding will be reduced from 517,563,844 as of December 1, 2010, to 73,937,692.

Dia Bras believes that, following the Consolidation, the outstanding share capital will be more reflective of similarly sized peer companies and will provide enhanced analytical framework with which to compare the financial performance of Dia Bras.

In connection with the Consolidation, Dia Bras mailed a letter of transmittal to each of its registered shareholders, who will be required to exchange their current share certificates for a Direct Registration Advice representing consolidated common shares of Dia Bras. Shareholders that hold their shares through a securities broker or dealer, bank or trust company will not be required to take any measures.
