Botswana Diamonds PLC
("Botswana Diamonds" or the "Company")

Vutomi licenses extended into addi=onal area of mineralisa=on adjacent
to Frischgewaagt (FGT)

Botswana Diamonds (BOD), the AIM and BSE listed explorer, is pleased to announce that the
company has been granted a ProspecGng Licence over an addiGonal 1,000 hectares
immediately east of and conGguous to Frischgewaagt. Geophysics studies undertaken by
Botswana Diamonds in the area indicate that the kimberlite dyke/pipe system being studied
extends into the adjacent property. The combined area of the two properGes covers over
2,700 hectares.

John Teeling, Chairman, commented, "Geology does not follow licence boundaries. One of the
rst things you do if you have promising explora=on results is to secure adjacent ground. Ini=al
results are encouraging, but we do not yet know where the richest mineralisa=on will be
conrmed. Work so far strongly indicates that the system containing diamonds extends
eastwards, adjacent to our Frischgewaagt property. We believe that the diamond-bearing dyke
stretches at least 10 km. We sought and obtained a prospec=ng licence over this promising
ground as a maGer of urgency. The drilling programme star=ng in weeks will be extended into
this area."

This release has been approved by James Campbell, Managing Director of Botswana
Diamonds plc, a qualied geologist (Pr.Sci.Nat), a Fellow of the South African InsGtute of
Mining and Metallurgy, a Fellow of Materials, Metals and Mining with over 31-years'
experience in the diamond sector.
