Management of DIOS EXPLORATION (TSX VENTURE:DOS) is pleased to update
Shadow-LeCaron gold-diamond project results, in the Emerging Opinaca-Eastmain 1
Gold Camp, 350 km northeast of Matagami, James Bay, QC. 


New independent reprocessing of DIOS 2009 tight 100 m spaced airborne
geophysical data as well as Quebec government 2010 public data uncovers some 20
priority geophysical targets for diamondiferous kimberlite within a 10 by 15
kilometer area. These targets are located in the vicinities of LeCaron Lake,
up-ice of DIOS 2009-2010 favourable kimberlite indicator minerals (and Fall 2011
microprobe results) such as G9 pyrope, eclogitic garnet, omphacite (eclogitic
clinopyroxene), kosmochlor (k-clinopyroxene), and forsterite. Eclogitic
signature of indicator minerals strongly suggests high diamondiferous potential
for kimberlites they come from. The area hosts numerous favourable NNW, N-S and
NNE magnetic features, and some E-W striking in its eastern part. Several
regional diabase-gabbro dykes are very well outlined by geophysics. Last fall,
some 40 additional heavy mineral samples were collected on the Shadow-LeCaron
project and are still being for kimberlite indicator minerals.

Compilation of 2010-2011 rock sampling for gold outlined a 10 sq. kilometre
anomalous gold (over 0.1 g/t Au in rocks) area within a mafic volcanic sequence
west of DIOS Conductor gold showing (up to 37 g/t Au), near a major NW
structure. This area is also located up-ice of anomalous gold in tills (265,
285, 666, 925, 1035, 1160 ppb Au in heavy mineral concentrates). A new 921 ppb
Au anomaly was located by the 2011 till sampling, which results end the
dispersal train, suggesting a local source in this area some 12 kilometers north
of the Clearwater 1.67 million ounce gold deposit. 


Elsewhere, results from the latest 2011 fall till sampling within the SHADOW
project better defined a 4-5 x 2.5 km gold in till anomaly including 1120 ppb,
938 ppb Au and 3510 ppb Au in heavy mineral concentrates. This glacial gold
dispersal train points out towards a volcano-sedimentary contact (as its up-ice
extent sampling was negative). 


Follow-up work on all three priority target-areas is planned for the coming 2012
summer, including systematic rock, glacial float and soil sampling.


The Shadow-LeCaron project is composed of 1083 map-staked mining cells (cdc)
covering 574 square kilometers wholly owned by DIOS. Independant geophysicist C.
St-Hilaire reprocessed detailed 2009 data and 2010 government data. Heavy
mineral samples were collected and processed by IOS Services Geoscientifiques
for kimberlite indicator minerals and gold. This press release was prepared par
Harold Desbiens, M.Sc.Geo, Vice-President of DIOS and 43-101 QP.
