Diamond results from a portion of drill core collected
from the Char kimberlite on its 100% owned Amaruk property in the Pelly
Bay
Diamond District of Nunavut. The

Approximately 200 additional kilograms of core from Char have been
submitted for further processing. This will provide routine information
on the quality of the laboratory procedures and the results described
above.
To date, 22 kimberlites have been discovered on the property. At least
five of the released kimberlites discovered in 2007 require a core
drill sample to further evaluate their economic potential.
Diamondresults have been reported for 14 of the kimberlites with more than 85%
being diamondiferous and over 50% exhibiting encouraging
Diamond counts
that require follow-up exploration. With 500 geophysical targets to be
tested on a property with an abundance of compelling
Diamond indicator
minerals, Amaruk is one of Canada's most prospective
Diamond projects.
The drill core was logged in secure facilities at the Amaruk field camp
by geoscientists. Samples were securely sealed in solid containers and
shipped to Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in Saskatoon for
processing. The results presented in this news release were obtained by
SRC using their standard caustic fusion
Diamond recovery method. SRC is
accredited by the Standards Council of Canada to the ISO/IEC Guide 25
standard for specific registered tests. As part of an ongoing Quality
Control & Quality Assurance program, Diamonds North will conduct
reviews and audits of results.
Bruce Kienlen (P.Geol) and Graham Gill (P. Geo) are Diamonds North's
qualified persons reviewing these projects. They are responsible for
the design and conduct of the exploration programs 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.
