Stellar Diamonds plc, the London listed diamond development company focused on West Africa, announces further microdiamond results from the Company’s Droujba kimberlite pipe.

Highlights
1. 304kg of kimberlite drill core has yielded 279 diamonds
2. Largest diamond measured 2.6mm x 2.0mm x 1.1mm
3. Majority of diamonds are described as white and colourless
4. DMS plant nearing commissioning with bulk samples already collected
5. On track to deliver maiden resource estimate in Q1 2012

Mr Karl Smithson CEO commented that “Microdiamond recovery from the Droujba kimberlite core continues to yield encouraging results. This consignment represented selective samples from the hypabyssal and breccia material and the results confirm our view that the hypabyssal kimberlite is significantly diamondiferous. On site construction of the bulk sampling plant is nearing completion with final commissioning expected shortly. We have made excellent progress at Droujba with our success, to date, demonstrating the significant potential of this project. I look forward to updating shareholders as we progress Droujba towards its maiden resource in the first quarter of 2012. This will be a key milestone for Stellar Diamonds as we look to advance Droujba and enhance the value of our diamond portfolio.”
