Dianor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DOR)

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR
FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Dianor Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DOR) announces that it has sent a notice to
Kodiak Capital Group, LLC for an initial draw down of $500,000 under its
previously-announced $30 million equity line of credit with Kodiak Capital
(press releases March 3rd 2010, July 19th 2010 and September 20th 2010).


In accordance with the Amended and Restated Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement dated July 9, 2010 between Dianor and Kodiak Capital, as amended, the
common shares to be issued to Kodiak Capital under the draw down will be issued
at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of Dianor's
common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the five consecutive trading days
(September 27 to October 1, 2010) following the delivery of the draw-down notice
to Kodiak, less a discount of 10%. Under the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange, the minimum issue price per share is $0.05. Based on a minimum issue
price of $0.05, the maximum number of common shares that can be issued by Dianor
under this initial draw down is 10 million. The closing price of Dianor's shares
on the TSX Venture Exchange on Friday, September 24, 2010 was $0.085. Closing of
the initial draw down of $500,000 will take place on October 8, 2010.


Dianor's final base shelf prospectus dated September 13, 2010 with respect to
the equity line of credit is available under Dianor's company profile on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com. Following completion of the draw-down pricing period, Dianor
will file a prospectus supplement qualifying the issue and sale of the shares to
be issued to Kodiak Capital under the initial draw down.


Dianor's base shelf prospectus dated September 13, 2010 sets out the risk
factors associated with the equity line of credit with Kodiak Capital, including
the following key risks, which are extracted from the base shelf prospectus:


"Financial Risk - Financial Condition of the Company

As set out in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (on page 6 thereof), "there is material
uncertainty as to whether the Company will have the ability to continue as a
going concern beyond 2010...". See as well the section of Management's
Discussion and Analysis for such period entitled "Liquidity Situation - Going
Concern" on pages 10 to 12 thereof. Any person contemplating an investment in
the Common Shares should consider this "going concern" risk factor prior to
making such investment.


As set out in the Company's financial statements for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency as at June
30, 2010 of approximately $3.2 million. As set out in Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, as
at that date, the Company's required liquidities for the following twelve months
totalled approximately $6.4 million. In this regard, as at June 30, 2010, the
Company had approximately $82,000 in cash reserved for exploration expenses and
approximately $131,000 in accounts receivable. 


In light of the foregoing and the limitation, pursuant to the Regulatory Relief,
on the number of Common Shares that can be issued by the Company to the
Subscriber in any twelve-month period, it will in all likelihood be necessary
for the Company to effect one or more financings in addition to this Offering,
whether of equity or debt, in order to have the required liquidities of $6.4
million referred to above. The Company is actively seeking such financings, and
has entered into the Credit Agreement referred to above under "Recent
Developments - Credit Facility"; however, no assurances can be given that the
Company will be able to effect such financings or have the required liquidities
of $6.4 million referred to above. Failure by the Company to effect one or more
such financings, whether of equity or debt, may have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business and financial condition, potentially involving the
insolvency of the Company.


Financing of Leadbetter Diamond Project

The Company has disclosed in several continuous disclosure documents that the
estimated cost of the recommended work program on the Company's Leadbetter
Diamond Project is approximately $32 million, comprised of a recommended
first-phase program in an amount of $23 million and a recommended second-phase
program in an amount of $9 million. In light of the limitation, pursuant to the
Regulatory Relief, on the number of Common Shares that can be issued by the
Company to the Subscriber in any twelve-month period, and the current trading
price of the Common Shares on the TSXV (a closing price of $0.085 on September
10, 2010), it is unlikely that the Company will be able to raise, pursuant to
the SEDA (Standby Equity Distribution Agreement), more than a portion of the
funds needed for the recommended work program on the Leadbetter Diamond Project.


The Company will not rely exclusively on the SEDA in order to raise funds for
the Leadbetter Diamond Project. The Company is actively seeking both debt and
equity financing, whether by way of private placement or public offering, and
has entered into the Credit Agreement referred to above under "Recent
Developments - Credit Facility". The Company may also explore other
alternatives, including the sale or optioning of certain of its properties. At
such time, if any, as the Company signs definitive documentation for such a
transaction, the Company will make public disclosure thereof, as required by
applicable securities law. However, no assurance can be given that the Company's
financing efforts will be successful. Furthermore, even if such a financing is
successfully completed, there can be no assurance that it will be obtained on
terms favourable to the Company. Any person contemplating an investment in the
Common Shares should consider, prior to making such investment, that the Company
does not at present, and may not in future, have sufficient funds to achieve its
stated business objective (as of the date of this Prospectus), that is, the
development of the Leadbetter Diamond Project. If the Company does not have
sufficient funds to achieve its stated business objective, it will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition."


In addition, there is a risk that Dianor might not be able to complete the
initial draw down under the equity line of credit with Kodiak Capital or gain
access to funds under the previously-announced Credit Agreement with Third Eye
Capital Corporation, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (press
release August 30th 2010).

About Dianor

Dianor is an innovative exploration company focused on advancing diamond
exploration properties in the Superior Craton of Canada. The Leadbetter Diamond
Project is its most advanced project and is geographically well situated and
easily accessible, some 12 kilometres north east of Wawa in Northern Ontario.
Substantial exploration work has been conducted on the project since 2005 and in
May 2009, the Company received government approval to proceed with a 50,000
tonne bulk sampling programme of the 2.697 Ma old Archean Conglomerate. A
preliminary tonnage estimate for this conglomerate is in the range of 549
million to 583 million tonnes (press release July 24th 2007). In addition to
diamonds, the conglomerate contains gold, sapphires and rubies (press release
January 18th 2007). In 2008, additional diamond discoveries, including rare
purple diamonds, were made by the Company in rocks of similar type, age
(Archean) and geological settings (press release March 3rd, April 10th, & May
13th 2008) in Quebec. The Quebec diamond properties have increased our portfolio
of low cost, accessible exploration targets. These diamond discoveries (Ontario
and Quebec) are both unique and amongst the oldest diamond-bearing occurrences
in the world.
