MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - July 3, 2009) - Dia Bras Exploration, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DIB) ("Dia Bras" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on July 1st, 2009, the Eighth Court of Appeal of the Supreme State Court of Chihuahua, Mexico, has confirmed the favorable ruling issued by the Sixth Civil Court regarding the legal dispute involving the Bolivar III and Bolivar IV mining concessions.

In 2005, a personal action was filed in Mexico against DBM by an individual claiming the annulment and revocation of the purchase contracts of two mining concessions, Bolivar III and IV, entered into between DBM and Mr. Javier Octavio Bencomo Munoz and Minera Senda de Plata, S.A. de C.V. Following the notification of said claim against DBM, a defense was filed based on the questionable legal standing of the claimant to file a lawsuit on behalf of the former owner.

The confirmation of the decision rendered on January 22, 2009, (see press release January 23, 2009) in which the Sixth Civil Court determined the claim unfounded now stands in full legal force and effect. The claimant has a fifteen day period to file a constitutional trial against the Court of Appeal, and management is fully confident that such rulings will stand even in the event of the objection of the claimant through the constitutional trial.
