Title:     BRSC/WM Diamond Project Commencement Of Drill Program

Nordic Diamonds Ltd. (the "Company" or "Nordic"), wishes to announce that drilling has commenced on the BRSC/WM Diamond Project located in the Nunavut, Canada.

Two distinct indicator mineral trains were identified, during the prior years work, in the south central area of the property and are referred to as the 5124 and 5129 trains. The 5124 train is of particular interest based on the micro-probe analysis of 90 pyropes with characteristics as follow:

  1. There are a high proportion of G10 pyropes, 26%, as defined by Gurney (1984).
  2. A high proportion, 48% of the pyropes are high-Cr, (> 7 wt.% Cr2O3) up to 13.5 wt.%.
  3. The presence of very low Ca (<2 wt. % CaO) and high Cr. pyropes.
The Company will be drill testing 8 targets in order to identify the source of these trains. Results of the drilling will be announced upon completion of the program.

The property lies immediately to the north of the Jericho Diamond Mine and is surrounded by at least 10 kimberlite pipes to the south and west. Two pipes, including Muskox and JD-03 have been sampled extensively by Tahera Diamond Corp.

This property is subject to a 2.5% gross overriding royalty and 2.5% net smelter royalty. In addition, the property is subject to a 30% back-in-right for $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the property over a two year period after the Company has incurred $1,000,000 in exploration work.
