Sao Luis Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SAOL), a diamond mining and precious metals exploration company, has announced today that the Company has ordered a 40 ton per hour mobile pilot processing plant for its joint venture diamond properties in Juina, Brazil. Delivery is scheduled for late March 2007. The processing capabilities of the new plant, along with an additional diamond laser sorter, increases the production capacity to over 5000 carats per month, dependent on the grade of the diamond gravels being processed. Upon installation and test mining, the Company intends to order at least one additional 100 ton per hour plant.

The Extrac-TEC Heavy Particle Concentration (HPC) technology allows for cost-effective gravity separation of materials of differing densities. The new patented transverse spiral belt separator boasts recovery rates of 95%-98%. Trials run using diamonds tracers have shown a recovery rate of 100%. The mobile plant is self contained, allowing for easy transportation and set up within hours. It utilizes a continuous process with a simple, secure and highly efficient final recovery stage which is environmentally friendly with no chemicals and reduced water use.
