electro-magnetic survey targeting nickel on the Amaruk-Tunerq Property in

"Amaruk has the potential to host a significant nickel deposit. We are excited
to receive the results from this survey to advance the project to target
testing," says Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Diamonds North. 


The 5,000 line kilometre Geotem Survey operated by Fugro is funded by the
Mineral and Metals Group (See news release July 14, 2011). The survey focused on
known mafic-ultramafic bodies and geochemical anomalies previously identified
including the Tunerq prospect. At Tunerq a drill hole intersected 2.49% nickel
over a 9 metre interval within a 35 metre zone assaying 1% nickel (See news
release May 22, 2008). 


Bruce Kienlen (P. Geol) and Graham Gill (P. Geo) will review the base metal data
from this project for Diamonds North.
