Diamonds North Provides Update on Hepburn
======================================================================
VANCOUVER, July 11th, 2007 - Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: DDN)
announces that a total of 21 geophysical targets over a span of about
70 kilometres have been tested by drilling on the Hepburn property in
the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Although kimberlite was not
intersected in these drill holes, numerous high priority targets remain
to be tested.
The Company remains confident that kimberlite has intruded the project
area based on the indicator minerals recovered from till samples.
Additional drilling is currently being planned to locate the source of
these indicator minerals. This drilling campaign is a first pass
reconnaissance program on 30% of the project and the information
gathered will help assess and define future drill targets.
A total of 116 of 204 targets were surveyed with detailed geophysics.
All targets have been identified from a geophysical survey that only
covers approximately 30% of the property. The remaining 70% of the
property is currently being surveyed.
The Hepburn project is approximately 200 kilometres northwest of the
Ekati
Diamond Mine and is located along the western margin of the Slave
Craton. The Slave Craton is one of the most prolific
Diamond producing
terrains in North and South America and has positioned Canada as the
3rd largest producer of diamonds by value.
Bruce Kienlen (P.Geol) is Diamonds North's qualified persons reviewing
this project and is responsible for the design and conduct of the
exploration program and the verification and quality assurance of
analytical results.
Diamonds North Resources is focused on discovering Canada's next
Diamond mine. The Company is rapidly evolving and committed to building
long-term value through ongoing
Diamond discoveries.
