Brazilian Mining Corporation: Kimberlite on Property 231

GARDNERVILLE, NV, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Brazilian Mining Corporation (PINKSHEETS: BRZM) announces that a
satellite remote sensing study used in advanced multi-spectral
exploration has identified with a high probability several diamondiferous
kimberlites on property 231. The Kimberlite sites were not included in
the original $300,000,000.00 evaluation of the property. The company is
planning to aggressively pursue these formations. Updates to follow.

According to Wikipedia-cid-2228826. Kimberlite is a type of potassic
volcanic rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds. It is named
after the town of Kimberley in South Africa, where the discovery of an
83.5 carats (16.7 g) diamond in 1871 spawned a diamond rush, eventually
creating the Big Hole. Kimberlite occurs in the Earth's crust in vertical
structures known as kimberlite pipes. Kimberlite pipes are the most
important source of mined diamonds today. The general consensus reached on
kimberlites is that they are formed deep within the mantle, at between 150
and 450 kilometers depth, from anomalously enriched exotic mantle
compositions, and are erupted rapidly and violently, often with
considerable carbon dioxide and other volatile components. It is this
depth of melting and generation, which makes kimberlites prone to hosting
diamond xenocrysts.
