MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. 16, 2009) - Big Red Diamond Corporation (TSX VENTURE:DIA), ("Big Red") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") for the sale of its Strategis uranium property in the Otish Basin to Virginia Energy Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VAE), ("Virginia").

Under the terms of the agreement, Virginia can acquire a 100% interest in the Strategis property subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty interest in favour of Big Red and certain underlying vendors, of which 1.5% can be bought back at any time by payment of $1.5 million. To earn its interest, Virginia must pay $50,000 on signing and issue $180,000 in shares within four months after signing. Big Red agrees to finance an approved work program of prospecting, soil sampling and ground geophysics on the property, which will commence immediately.
