             Progress Report on the Dala Diamond Project in Angola



Toronto: - Brian Kiernan, President & CEO, of Moydow Mines International Inc.
announced that Moydow has undertaken a ground geophysical survey on the Dala
project in Angola and has identified several targets which bear all the
hallmarks of kimberlitic style gravity signatures.  The property is just south
of Saurimo in  northern Angola and is bordered to the west and east by the BHP/
Petra Diamonds' Alto Cuilo and Muriege diamond properties, respectively, and is
40 kilometres south of the Catoca Mine, the world's fourth largest
diamondiferous kimberlite pipe.



Recently, Moydow completed an airborne geophysics survey over the property.
This survey was done by the Council for Geoscience (formerly the Geological
Survey of South Africa) and identified about 70 targets on the property which
warrant follow-up work.



Following completion of the airborne work, a ground geophysical survey
comprising magnetics and gravity was initiated in mid January 2006.



A promising target area was identified in the northern portion of the Dala
concession.  Diamonds were recovered from a number of sampling pits in this
target area during the course of an extensive sampling programme conducted
during the 1970s by Diamang, the Portuguese state mining company.  Recent soil
and stream sediment sampling revealed significant concentrations of kimberlitic
indicator minerals with little evidence of abrasion, suggesting a nearby primary
source.



As the region is blanketed by Tertiary sand, geophysical methods are required to
map the bedrock geology.  A ground gravity survey was selected as this method
has proved to be very effective in locating kimberlite pipes in Angola, where
thick crater-fill and deep weathering produce strong anomalies.



Gravity measurements on 100 x 100 metre grid spacing produced a discrete
anomaly.  The dimensions, shape and intensity of the anomaly - of about 8
hectares - are similar to those expected from kimberlite pipes in this region.



Moydow will investigate the gravity anomaly by diamond drilling in the next few
weeks.
