         Half-yearly results for the six months ended 30 November 2017 
 
Karelian Diamond Resources plc (AIM: KDR), the diamond exploration company 
focused on Finland, announces its results for the six months ended 30 November 
2017. 
 
Highlights of the Half-year: 
 
  * Very close proximity to the source of the diamond discovery by the Company 
    in the Kuhmo region of Finland suggested by indicator mineral sampling 
    results. 
 
  * Lahtojoki diamond deposit - PEA completed - 5m tonnes, microdiamond data 
    suggest grade of 40 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht) and high percentage of 
    gem quality stones 
  * Riihivaarä - kimberlite body follow up work shows geotherm  prospective for 
    diamonds 
 
Commenting, Chairman, Professor Richard Conroy said: 
 
"I am delighted that over the period the search for the source for the green 
diamond has been so encouraging with the recent sampling results suggesting 
close proximity to source.  I am also very pleased that the PEA on the 
Lahtojoki diamond deposit has been so positive."

Chairman's statement 
 
Dear Shareholder, 
 
I have great pleasure in presenting your Company's Half-Yearly results for the 
six month period ended 30 November 2017. The discovery of a green diamond in a 
till sample in the Kuhmo region of eastern Finland has been followed up by an 
intensive pitting programme designed to find the kimberlite source of the 
diamond. The latest results suggest that we are now very close to the source. 
Work has also continued at Riihivaarä, where we have discovered a kimberlite 
body, and at the Lahtojoki diamond deposit, over which we hold a mining 
concession and on which a Preliminary Economic Assessment has been completed 
during the period with highly encouraging results. 
 
Principal activities and business review 
 
Diamond Discovery 
 
Following the discovery by the Company of a green diamond in January 2016, we 
have been engaged in an intensive exploration programme to discover the source 
of the diamond. The programme has included airborne geophysics and an extensive 
pitting programme up-ice from the site of the discovery. The work programme was 
designed to identify the kimberlite train arising from the kimberlite source 
and to trace it back to source. 
 
Sampling results (as announced on 14 November 2017) indicated that the source 
was within two hundred metres of some of the samples taken in the pitting 
programme. The most recent results (as announced post period on 23 January 
2018) suggest that we are now in very close proximity to the source.  This 
success in tracing back the kimberlite train to source is a great achievement 
considering that it is scarcely a year since the diamond was found. 
 
In October 2017 we were awarded an Exploration Permit covering an area of 
601.68 hectares surrounding the location where the Company discovered the 
diamond. 
 
Riihivaarä 
 
In Eastern Finland, where your Company has discovered a kimberlite body, the 
first to be discovered in Finland in over 10 years, follow up work has shown 
that the geotherm there is prospective for diamonds. The kimberlite has been 
sampled to a model depth of over 200km, well into the diamond stability field, 
and it is therefore likely to be diamondiferous. The kimberlite body remains 
open in both directions along strike and to depth and a drilling programme is 
now envisaged along the known kimberlite. 
 
Seitaperä 
 
At Seitaperä, also in the Kuhmo region of Eastern Finland, where your Company 
has outlined the largest known kimberlite body in Finland and has reported the 
presence of both macro and micro diamonds, consideration is being given as to 
whether or not some, or all, of these micro and macro diamonds may have 
originated from a larger stone. Should this be considered to be the case, it 
would have significant implications for any follow up mini bulk sampling 
programme and for the diamond potential of the kimberlite. 
 
Lahtojoki Mining Development Programme 
 
A Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") has been carried out during the 
period on the Lahtojoki diamond deposit in the Kuopio-Kaavi region of Finland 
over which your Company holds a Mining Concession. 
 
I am delighted that the PEA was positive and a mining operation recommended (as 
announced on 1 August 2017). 
 
The PEA suggests a +1mm recoverable grade of 39.7 carats per hundred tonnes 
(cpht) and also indicates the presence of a high percentage of gem quality 
stones within the diamonds that have been recovered to date. Previous drilling 
indicates 5,603,584 tonnes are present to a depth of 160 metres below surface. 
For the purposes of the PEA US$100/carat was used in the economic evaluation 
and mine design. A total resource (non JORC) estimate of 2,225,000 carats was 
indicated in the study with plant recovery of diamonds estimated at 95 per 
cent. The location of Lahtojoki is highly favourable for development and we 
believe the Lahtojoki diamond deposit has the potential to become a profitable 
open pit diamond mine. 
 
Clearly much work remains to be done but the PEA Report is a major and highly 
encouraging step forward in our assessment of the Lahtojoki diamond deposit. 
Should the deposit be developed it would be the first diamond mine in Europe 
(outside Russia). 
 
Exploration by your Company suggests that in addition to the Lahtojoki deposit 
there may also be further diamond resource potential in the immediate area. 
Having considered a series of geophysical and kimberlite indicator mineral 
anomalies in the area, your Company has applied for a Claim Reservation in the 
area adjacent to the Lahtojoki mining concession.  The Claim Reservation covers 
the up-ice area of the kimberlite boulder discovery (as previously announced on 
9 November 2016 and 12 January 2017) and totals an area of 8.67km². Post period 
a Claim covering 28.84 hectares was granted within the Claim Reservation on 22 
January 2018. The Claim surrounds the location where the kimberlite boulder 
discovery was made. 
 
Should a further significant diamond deposit be discovered close to the 
Lahtojoki deposit, this would of course add greatly to the economic potential 
and attractiveness of the Lahtojoki diamond deposit. 
 
Finance 
 
The loss after taxation for the six month period ended 30 November 2017 was EUR 
211,590 (30 November 2016: EUR117,067) and the net assets as at 30 November 2017 
were EUR9,281,407 (30 November 2016: EUR8,370,091). 
 
Post period, at the Annual General Meeting on 21 December 2017, shareholders 
approved the consolidation of the Company's ordinary shares into new ordinary 
shares of EUR0.00025 each. Immediately following which, each existing shareholder 
held 1 new ordinary share in place of each 25 existing ordinary shares. The 
consolidation was considered to be in the shareholders' interests as the 
existing number of shares was unwieldy and the bid-offer range was too large as 
a proportion of the share price. Following the consolidation of the ordinary 
shares on 21 December 2017, the warrants in issue were consolidated into one 
consolidated warrant for every 25 existing warrants. The exercise price in 
relation to the warrants was also adjusted at this time. 
 
Directors and Staff 
 
I would like to thank my fellow directors, staff and consultants for their 
support and dedication. 
 
Outlook 
 
The Company has made outstanding progress in the period under review and I look 
forward with confidence to further success during the coming period. 
 
Yours faithfully, 
 
Professor Richard Conroy

November 2016 
 
Share capital 
 
The share capital comprises the nominal value share capital issued for cash and 
non-cash consideration. The share capital also comprises deferred share 
capital. The deferred share capital* arose through the restructuring of share 
capital which was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 9 December 
2016. 
 
Authorised share capital: 
 
The authorised share capital at 30 November 2017 compromised 182,532,751,034 
ordinary shares of EUR0.00001 each, and 317,785,034 deferred shares of EUR0.00999 
each* (EUR5,000,000), (30 November 2016: 500,000,000 ordinary shares of EUR0.01 
each (EUR5,000,000)). 
 
*Capital reorganisation: 
 
Following approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 9 December 2016, the 
Company reorganised its share capital by subdividing and reclassifying each 
issued ordinary share of EUR0.01 as one ordinary share of EUR0.00001 each and one 
deferred share of EUR0.00999 each.  The Deferred Shares have no right to vote, 
attend or speak at general meetings of the Company and have no right to receive 
any dividend or other distribution, and have only limited rights to participate 
in any return of capital on a winding-up or liquidation of the Company, which 
will be of no material value. No application was made to the London Stock 
Exchange for admission of the Deferred Shares to trading on the AIM. 
 
Post period end: 
 
After the period end, on 21 December 2017, the Company passed a Special 
Resolution at the Company's AGM, that all of the ordinary shares of EUR0.00001 
each in the capital of the Company, whether issued or unissued were 
consolidated into New Ordinary Shares of EUR0.00025 each in the capital of the 
Company ("consolidated shares") on the basis of one consolidated share for 
every 25 existing ordinary shares. Following the consolidation of the ordinary 
shares on 21 December 2017, the warrants in issue were consolidated into one 
consolidated warrant for every 25 existing warrants. The exercise price in 
relation to the warrants was also adjusted at this time (see Note 2). 
 
Share premium 
 
The share premium reserve comprises the excess consideration received in 
respect of share capital over the nominal value of the shares issued. 
 
Share based payment reserve 
 
The share based payment reserve represents the amount expensed to the condensed 
income statement in addition to the amount capitalised as part of intangible 
assets of share-based payments granted which are not yet exercised and issued 
as shares. 
 
Retained losses 
 
This reserve represents the accumulated losses absorbed by the Company to the 
condensed statement of financial position date. 
 
Notes to and forming part of the condensed financial statements for the six 
month period ended 30 November 2017 
 
1.        Accounting policies 
 
Reporting entity 
 
Karelian Diamond Resources plc (the "Company") is a company domiciled in 
Ireland. 
 
Basis of preparation and statement of compliance 
 
The condensed financial statements for the six months ended 30 November 2017 
are unaudited. 
 
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 
International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34: Interim Financial Reporting. 
 
The condensed financial statements do not include all the information and 
disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as at 31 May 2017, 
which are available on the Company's website - www.kareliandiamondresources.com 
. The accounting policies adopted in the presentation of the condensed 
financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of 
the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2017. There 
are no new standards, amendments to published standards or interpretations 
which are effective for the first time in the current period that have a 
material effect on the condensed financial statements. 
 
The condensed financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost 
convention, except for derivative financial instruments which are measured at 
fair value at each reporting date. 
 
The condensed financial statements are presented in Euro ("EUR"). EUR is the 
functional currency of the Company. 
 
The preparation of condensed financial statements requires the Board of 
Directors and management to use judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, 
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates 
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to 
accounting estimates are recognised in the financial period in which the 
estimate is revised and in any future financial periods affected. Details of 
critical judgements are disclosed in the accounting policies detailed in the 
annual financial statements. 
 
The financial information presented herein does not amount to statutory 
financial statements that are required by Chapter 4 part 6 of the Companies Act 
2014 to be annexed to the annual return of the Company. The statutory financial 
statements for the financial year ended 31 May 2017 were annexed to the annual 
return and filed with the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on those 
financial statements was unqualified. 
 
These Condensed Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of 
Directors on 27 February 2018. 
 
Going concern 
 
The Company incurred a loss of EUR211,590 (30 November 2016: EUR117,067) for the 
six month period ended 30 November 2017. The Company had net current 
liabilities of EUR168,143 (30 November 2016: EUR334,506) at that date. 
 
The Board of Directors have considered carefully the financial position of the 
Company and in that context, have prepared and reviewed cash flow forecasts for 
the period to 30 November 2018. As set out in the Chairman's statement, the 
Company expects to incur material levels of capital expenditure in 2018, 
consistent with its strategy as an exploration company. In reviewing the 
proposed work programme for exploration and evaluation assets and on the basis 
of the equity raised during the year to 31 May 2017, the results obtained from 
the exploration programme and the prospects for raising additional funds as 
required, the Board of Directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to 
prepare the condensed financial statements on a going concern basis. 
 
Standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not yet effective 
 
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have 
been issued to date and are not yet effective for the financial period ended 30 
November 2017, and have not been applied nor early adopted, where applicable, 
in preparing these condensed financial statements: 
 
  * IFRS 9: Financial Instruments; Classification and Measurement - effective 
    for periods beginning 1 January 2018 
  * IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers - effective for periods 
    beginning 1 January 2018 
  * IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions 
    (Amendment) - effective for periods beginning 1 January 2018 
  * IFRS 1: Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014-2016 Cycle (Amendments to IFRS 1) 
    - effective for periods beginning 1 January 2018 
  * IAS 28: Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014-2016 Cycle (Amendments to IAS 28) 
    - effective for periods beginning 1 January 2018 
  * IFRS 16: Leases - effective for periods beginning 1 January 2019 
  * IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts - effective for periods beginning 1 January 
    2021 
  * IFRS10/IAS28: Sale or contribution of an asset between an investor and its 
    Associate of Joint Venture (Amendment) - Deferred indefinitely by 
    amendments made in December 2015. 
 
The Board of Directors anticipate that the adoption of new standards, 
interpretations and amendments that were in issue at the date of authorisation 
of these condensed financial statements, but not yet effective, will have no 
material impact on the condensed financial statements in the period of initial 
application.

or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of a reverse 
share split).

Exploration and evaluation assets relate to expenditure incurred in the 
development of mineral exploration opportunities. These assets are carried at 
historical cost and have been assessed for impairment in particular with regard 
to the requirements of IFRS 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral 
Resources relating to remaining licence or claim terms, likelihood of renewal, 
likelihood of further expenditure, possible discontinuation of activities as a 
result of specific claims and available data which may suggest that the 
recoverable value of an exploration and evaluation asset is less than its 
carrying amount. 
 
The Board of Directors have considered the proposed work programmes for the 
underlying mineral resources. They are satisfied that there are no indications 
of impairment. 
 
The Board of Directors note that the realisation of the intangible assets is 
dependent on further successful development and ultimate production of the 
mineral resources and the availability of sufficient finance to bring the 
resources to economic maturity and profitability. 
 
4.        Commitments and Contingencies 
 
At 30 November 2017, there were no capital commitments or contingent 
liabilities (31 May 2017: No capital commitments or contingencies liabilities). 
Should the Company decide to develop the Lahtojoki project, an amount of EUR 
100,000 is payable by the Company.
