    IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKINGS OBTAINED IN CONNECTION WITH SALE OF DIAMOND AND INDUSTRIAL ASSETS

    Further to the announcement made by the Company on 3 December 2008, KimCor (AIM: KIM), the AIM-quoted diamond mining company, today
announces that irrevocable undertakings ("Undertakings") to vote in favour of the indirect sale to Belmont Mining Limited ("Belmont") of the
Company's diamond and industrial assets ("Proposed Sale") have been obtained from KimCor shareholders collectively holding 52% of the issued
shares in the capital of the Company.

    Pursuant to the Undertakings, the signing shareholders (which include Dwyka Resources Limited, the holder of a 48.2% shareholding in the
Company) have agreed to vote in favour of the Proposed Sale at the Extraordinary General Meeting of KimCor shareholders which will take
place on Thursday, 8 January 2009 ("EGM").  The Undertakings are legally binding on the signing shareholders and only fail to apply in
circumstances where a third party makes a general offer for all of the shares in the Company.  The Sale of Shares Agreement signed between
KimCor and Belmont on 3 December 2008, which sets out the terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale, is conditional only upon the approval
of KimCor shareholders being obtained to the Proposed Sale.  Accordingly, given that only a simple majority vote is required at the EGM for
the Proposed Sale to proceed, the effect of Undertakings having been obtained from shareholders collectively holding in excess of 50% of the
shares in the Company is that (subject to a takeover offer being made for all of the shares in KimCor in the interim) the Proposed Sale will be approved at the EGM.
