Editors' Note

Brazilian Diamonds is a leading Brazil-based exploration company focused on the
discovery of kimberlites on its extensive portfolio of properties in the States
of Minas Gerais and Bahia, with the goal of becoming a significant producer of
diamonds.

The Company is awaiting final approval before commencing the environmental
licensing process for the development of the Canastra 1 kimberlite body for
which mine feasibility work has already been completed and the required Mines
Department approvals are already in place.  It is intended to bring Canastra 1
into production once the environmental licensing process is completed.



The Company's Salvador diamond project in Bahia includes the diamondiferous
Salvador 1 kimberlite.  This project was acquired from De Beers which retains a
right to reacquire up to 40 per cent. of any kimberlite found on the Salvador
properties which is confirmed to contain more that 200 carats of diamonds.



The Company has a fully operational diamond separation/analysis laboratory at
Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais which is strategically located near its properties
in the Santo Antonio and Coromandel areas.  The Company has a highly experienced
team including six geologists located at the Company's facilities in Brazil.


The Company's strategy for non-core activities on its properties is to form
joint ventures.  A Cdn$1,000,000 feasibility study is underway for a joint
venture for the mining of alluvial diamonds on its properties in the Santo
Antonio river drainage.  The joint venture involves two important Brazilian
companies: CODEMIG, the state owned mining development organization and
Mineracao Rio Novo Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary of Andrade Gutierrez SA, one
of Brazil's largest civil engineering firms and an existing large scale, dredge
based producer of alluvial diamonds.
