Last week, Roger Chaplin provided an update on Dia Met's latest fiscal
results: the Ekati Mine's production figures and diamond price
realizations have been outstanding. Another area of activity for the
Company is its joint venture with Monopros Ltd. (De Beers) in
Greenland and Minex News, a publication produced by the Geological
Survey of Denmark and Greenland dated June 1999, makes the following
remarks:

The diamond search and company optimism, continue-New macrodiamond
finds in West Greenland

New exciting results of diamond exploration in Greenland were reported
in an April 7 press release from the Dia Met Minerals Ltd.-Monopros
Ltd. joint venture in the region south-west of Kangerlussuaq (Søndre
Strømfjord) in southern West Greenland (66ºN). A total of 558 kg of
kimberlitic rock from six localities yielded 493 microdiamonds
smaller than 0.5 mm) and 5 macrodiamonds. All the macrodiamonds and
474 of the microdiamonds come from a 140 kg sample representing
material of some 200 kimberlitic blocks that lie on a lineament and
appear to outline an underlying dyke. Further results of the
processing of kimberlitic samples from the region are pending. This
encouraging news marks an optimistic beginning of the fifth
consecutive field season of intensive diamond exploration in Greenland.

As of June 1, seven other companies are involved in diamond
prospecting in western Greenland.

The stone counts, in the manner that we have reported them in Canada,
from the 140 kg sample are 0.35 macros per 10 kg and 33.86 micros per
10 kg or 34.2 stones per 10 kg. We understand that there is a high
quantity of stone fragments and that the samples are boulders believed
to be from a yet to be located dike source. This is not really "new"
news (April 7 release), but it is obviously gaining official
recognition: more work is contemplated.

Dia Met "B" remains a BUY with a 12-month target price of $30.00.
