Ditem: Lalande Rare Earth Exploration Program Underway

Ditem Explorations (TSX VENTURE:DIT) is pleased to announce that the summer
exploration program on the Lalande property is now underway. Essentially, this
first phase will consist of ground geophysical surveying, prospecting and
geological mapping as well as channel sampling. The program should be completed
by mid-August and an initial drill program is expected for this fall. 


The Lalande property, situated in north-eastern Quebec along the North Shore of
the St-Lawrence River, is mainly underlain by calc-alkaline granitic gneisses of
the Aguanish Complex and minor amphibolites and supracrustal units including
arenaceous sediments, volcaniclastic rocks, and migmatized aluminous gneiss.
These units are cut by pink granitic intrusions and numerous pink pegmatite
lenses. Rare earth mineralization is associated with pink biotite and
monazite-rich quartz feldspar pegmatite within granitic intrusions. 


In 1967 and 1968, magnetic and radiometric surveys as well as prospecting were
undertaken and numerous radiometric anomalies were noted. In 1988, SOQUEM
completed an exploration program with sampling and partial analysis of rare
earth anomalous zones, including one zone within which grades up to 1.4% for La,
Ce and Y, were identified and reported.


Ditem Explorations is an exploration and development company with properties in
the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan (Beartooth Island and Cree Lake), the Otish
Basin (Otish Uranium and Lac Henri) and on the North Shore near La Romaine
(Lalande) in Quebec. Drilling is planned on the Otish Uranium property to
confirm uranium mineralisation and initial programs are to be completed on the
Lac Henri and Lalande rare earth properties this summer. Properties and general
information may be viewed on the Company's website at www.ditem.com. 


Mr. Mario Joly (M.Sc), President of Ditem Explorations is the Qualified Person
(as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101) who has reviewed this
news release and is responsible for the technical information reported herein.
