Not for release, publication or distribution in whole or in part in or into the United States, Canada, Australia, Republic of South Africa or Japan 21 August 2007 KimCor Diamonds Plc ("KimCor" or "the Company") Proposed acquisition of Dwyka Diamonds Holdings Limited Proposed placing of 65,535,000 new Ordinary Shares at 6.5 pence per share Approval of waiver of the obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code Admission of Enlarged Share Capital and Existing Warrants to trading on AIM and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting 1. Introduction The Board today announces that the Company has entered into a conditionalagreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of DDH through the issue ofthe Consideration Shares at the Placing Price. The Acquisition values theordinary shares of DDH at approximately £8.73 million at the Placing Price and£9.74 million based on the closing middle market price of 7.25 pence perOrdinary Share on 20 August 2007, being the business day immediately prior tothe date of this announcement. DDH is a holding company, registered in Mauritius and wholly owned by DwykaResources, whose subsidiaries are principally engaged in the exploration andmining of diamonds in South Africa and Tanzania. The Directors and ProposedDirectors believe that the Acquisition offers the Company the opportunity to,inter alia, achieve economies of scale in the South African diamond miningoperations of the Enlarged Group. On Completion, Melissa Sturgess, the current chief executive officer of DwykaResources, will be appointed as non-executive chairman of KimCor in addition toher role at Dwyka Resources. Cedric Bredenkamp, the current managing director ofthe South African operations of Dwyka Resources, will be appointed as managingdirector of KimCor, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer. In order to provide the Enlarged Group with sufficient working capital and toprovide funding for the capital projects described in this document, the Companyproposes to raise £4.26 million before expenses by way of a Placing of65,535,000 Placing Shares at 6.5 pence per share. The Placing will be arrangedby Strand Partners, and Ambrian Partners will be appointed as brokers to theCompany on Completion. By reason of the size of DDH in relation to KimCor, the Acquisition isclassified as a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules. The AIM Rules require thatcompletion of the Acquisition is subject to the prior approval of Shareholders,which will be sought at the EGM, and the publication of an AIM admissiondocument which this document comprises. The rules of the ASX require thatcompletion of the Acquisition is also subject to the prior approval of DwykaResources shareholders in general meeting. Dwyka Resources is posting a circularto its shareholders requisitioning an extraordinary general meeting to approvethe Acquisition, which meeting is expected to take place on 20 September 2007. In addition, because Dwyka Resources will, following Completion, be the legaland beneficial owner of 134,383,718 Ordinary Shares, representing 50.09 percent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, the Company is seeking the waiver of Rule 9of the Takeover Code, which would otherwise require Dwyka Resources to offer toacquire all those Ordinary Shares that it does not own. Shareholders willtherefore be asked to vote on the Waiver Resolution set out in the EGM Notice atthe end of this document. If the Resolutions are duly passed at the EGM, the Company's existing tradingfacility on AIM will be cancelled and the Company will apply for the EnlargedShare Capital and the Existing Warrants to be admitted to trading on AIM.Irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Resolutions have been receivedfrom certain of the Directors and Shareholders in respect of 34,928,526 OrdinaryShares, representing approximately 51.98 per cent. of the Existing OrdinaryShares. 2. Background to and reasons for the Acquisition KimCor's strategy since the 2006 Admission has been to build the Company into asubstantial diamond mining and exploration business through its dump reclamationexpertise and by way of acquisition. This strategy commenced with the purchaseand development of the Bellsbank dump reclamation operation that focussed theCompany on becoming a producer of diamonds rather than an exploration company.The acquisition of DDH is a continuation of that strategy, and represents thefirst significant acquisition by the Company since the 2006 Admission. The Directors believe that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for theCompany to participate in the consolidation expected within the junior diamondmining industry through the acquisition of assets that represent a goodstrategic fit with the assets of the Company, from both a geographicalperspective and in respect of the quality of the assets to be acquired. The Directors believe that these factors will enable the Enlarged Group tobenefit from synergies andachieve economies of scale. The Directors further believe that the Acquisition and the Placing will: • maintain the Company's primary focus as a diamond producer, rather than an explorer; • enable the Enlarged Group to capitalise on the technical and financial skills of the Proposed Directors and other DDH personnel to broaden its level of internal skills and access to capital markets; • establish the Enlarged Group in the mid-tier (by volume) of diamond producers worldwide; • ultimately broaden the shareholder base to encourage liquidity in the Company's stock; and • allow for sustainability due to the Enlarged Group's increased diamond production and enable the Enlarged Group to fund further acquisitions and continued growth using internally generated cash flows. Further information on KimCor, DDH and the strategy of the Enlarged Group,including a competent person's report on the assets of KimCor and DDH, isincluded in the admission document. 3. Principal terms of the Acquisition The Company has conditionally agreed to purchase the entire issued ordinaryshare capital of DDH from Dwyka Resources through the allotment and issue of theConsideration Shares, equating to a value of £8.73 million at the Placing Priceand approximately £9.74 million based on the mid market price of 7.25 pence perOrdinary Share on 20 August 2007, being the day immediately prior to theannouncement of the Acquisition. The Consideration Shares representapproximately 49.38 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital and will rankequally in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares and the PlacingShares. 4. Proposed terms of the Placing Conditional on Admission, the Company is proposing to raise £4.26 million(before expenses) pursuant to the Placing. The Placing relates to a total of65,535,000 Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The Placing Shares placedpursuant to the Placing will represent 24.43 per cent. of the Enlarged ShareCapital. On Admission, based on the Placing Price, the Company will have amarket capitalisation of approximately £17.44 million. The Company, the Directors and the Proposed Directors have entered into thePlacing Agreement with Strand Partners and Montagu, who are acting as sub-agentto Strand Partners on the Placing. Strand Partners have conditionally agreed touse all reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for all of the Placing Sharesat the Placing Price. 5.
