release contains “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking
information” under applicable securities laws. Except for
statements of historical fact, certain information contained herein
constitutes forward-looking statements, which include management’s

“forecasts”, estimates”, “expects”, “expected”, “anticipates”,
“believes”, “projects”, “plans”, “outlook”, “capacity” and similar
expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them.
Such forward-looking statements necessarily
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause
the Company’s actual performance and financial results in future

anticipated future production, capital and operating costs; cash
flows and mine life; potential size of a mineralized zone;
potential expansion of mineralization; potential types of mining
operations; permitting timelines; government regulation of
exploration and mining operations; risks that the presence of
diamond deposits mentioned nearby the Company’s property are not
indicative of the diamond mineralization on the Company’s property,
the supply and demand for, deliveries of and the level and
volatility of prices of rough diamonds, risks that the actual
revenues will be less than projected; risks that the target
production for the existing mining contracts will be less than
projected or expected; risks that production will not commence as
projected due to delay or inability to receive governmental
approval of the Company’s acquisition or the timely completion of
an NI43-101 report; technical problems; inability of management to
secure sales or third party purchase contracts; currency and
interest rate fluctuations; foreign exchange fluctuations and
foreign operations; various events which could disrupt operations,
including labor stoppages and severe weather conditions; and

markets to meet its future obligations; coal consumption levels;
and the Company’s ability to retain qualified staff and equipment
in a cost-efficient manner to meet its demand. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. The reader is
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. The Company does not undertake to update any of the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release unless
required by law. The statements as to the Company’s capacity to
