exchanged for common shares of Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (“Dia Bras Shares”), and all other required documents
must be delivered in person or by courier or sent by mail to Computershare Investor Services Inc. at the address set
forth on the last page of this Letter of Transmittal.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (‘‘EXMIN Shareholders’’) of EXMIN Shares in
connection with the proposed transaction (the ‘‘Transaction’’) involving Dia Bras Exploration Inc. (‘‘Dia Bras”)
that is being submitted for approval at the annual and special meeting of EXMIN Shareholders to be held on
September 24, 2009 (the ‘‘Meeting’’) at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time). EXMIN Shareholders are referred to the
accompanying notice of annual and special meeting and management information circular dated August 28, 2009
(the ‘‘Circular’’) prepared in connection with the Meeting that accompanies this Letter of Transmittal. Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Letter of Transmittal have the meanings set out in the Circular.

The Transaction is anticipated to close in early October, 2009. At the Effective Time, EXMIN Shareholders
(other than Dissenting Shareholders) will be entitled to receive in exchange for each EXMIN Share, 0.2040
(subject to the adjustments described below) of a common share of Dia Bras (a ‘‘Dia Bras Share’’).

No fractional Dia Bras Shares will be issued to EXMIN Shareholders. If an EXMIN Shareholder is entitled to a
fractional share of an Dia Bras Share, the number of Dia Bras Shares to be issued to that EXMIN Shareholder will
be rounded down to the nearest whole Dia Bras Share and no compensation will be paid to the EXMIN Shareholder
in respect of such fractional Dia Bras Share.

EXMIN Shareholders who do not deliver their EXMIN Share certificates and all other required documents
to the Depositary on or before the date which is six years after the Effective Date shall lose their right to
receive Dia Bras Shares in exchange for their EXMIN Shares.

U.S. Shareholders (as defined below) are required to provide their taxpayer identification number and to
complete and provide a Substitute Form W-9. See the instructions herein.

Shares, which shares are represented by the share certificate(s) described below and delivered herewith and the

The above-listed share certificates are hereby surrendered in exchange for certificates representing common shares
of Dia Bras on the basis of 0.2040 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Dia Bras for one (1) share of EXMIN,
subject to the following adjustments (rounded to four decimal places), which are described in greater detail in the
Circular:

1. The Exchange Ratio will be reduced on the Effective Date to reflect any current liabilities of EXMIN,
immediately prior to the Effective Time in excess of the threshold amount of U.S. $600,000 (the “Excess
Liabilities”). The Exchange Ratio will be reduced by 0.01 for each U.S. $91,200 in Excess Liabilities;
provided that the Exchange Ratio shall not be less than 0.1544.

2. In the event of a reclassification, split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, combination,
tender or exchange offer or similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted appropriately to provide the
holders of EXMIN Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by the Circular.

The undersigned authorizes and directs Computershare Investor Services Inc. to issue a certificate for Dia Bras
which the undersigned is entitled as indicated below. Subject to the foregoing and unless otherwise directed in this
Letter of Transmittal, the certificates will be issued in the name of the EXMIN Shareholder. Unless the EXMIN
Shareholder depositing the EXMIN Shares instructs Computershare Investor Services Inc. to hold the certificate
representing the Dia Bras Shares for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in this Letter of Transmittal, the
certificate will be forwarded by first class insured mail to such person at the address specified in this Letter of
Transmittal. If no such address is specified, the certificate will be sent to the address of the EXMIN Shareholder as
shown on the central securities register maintained by or on behalf of EXMIN. Certificates mailed in accordance
with this paragraph will be deemed to be delivered at the time of mailing.

The undersigned agrees to execute, upon request, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may

conferred or agreed to be conferred by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or

will be returned forthwith to the undersigned at the address set out below in Box A or, failing such address being
specified, to the undersigned at the last address of the undersigned as it appears on the securities register of EXMIN.

pursuant to the Transaction through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn

9. U.S. Shareholders and Form W-9

United States federal income tax law generally requires that a EXMIN Shareholder (other than a corporation) that is
a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Shareholder”) who receives Dia Bras Shares
in exchange for EXMIN Shares must provide the Depositary with his correct Taxpayer Identification Number
(“TIN”), which, in the case of a U.S. Shareholder who is an individual, is generally the individual’s social security
number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder
may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to
28% of the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder.

5585466
 6

Backup withholding is not an additional United States income tax. Rather, the United States federal income tax
liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of backup withholding tax
withheld. In the event there is a backup withholding tax liability with respect to any U.S. Shareholder, Dia Bras,
EXMIN and the Depositary are hereby authorized to arrange for the sale of a sufficient number of Dia Bras Shares
from the total number of Dia Bras Shares otherwise deliverable to such U.S. Shareholder, to cover the backup
withholding tax obligation and thereby facilitate payment and remittance of the applicable backup withholding tax
payable to the Internal Revenue Service. If such withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained by the U.S. Shareholder provided that the required information is timely furnished directly to the Internal
Revenue Service.

To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Shareholder must provide his correct TIN by completing the IRS Form
W-9 attached to this document, which requires such holder to certify under penalties of perjury, (i) that the TIN
provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), (ii) that the holder is not subject to backup holding
because (a) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (b) the holder has not been notified by the Internal
Revenue Service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or
(c) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii)
that the holder is a U.S. person for United States federal income tax purposes. For information about what number to
provide the Depositary, see the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9.

A U.S. SHAREHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE IRS FORM W-9 SET FORTH IN
THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR, IF APPLICABLE, OTHER APPROPRIATE IRS FORM(S) MAY BE
SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE
TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE ARRANGEMENT.

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY
NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX ADVICE CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT
INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE
PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE; (B) THE ADVICE IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF
THE TRANSACTION OR THE MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) HOLDERS SHOULD SEEK
ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

Failure to furnish TIN – If a U.S. Shareholder fails to furnish the correct TIN, such person could be subject to a
penalty of US$50 for each such failure unless the failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
