THIRTIETH KIMBERLITE FOUND BY DRILLING

Mink International is pleased to announce the 30th kimberlite discovery in its Kenieba Diamond
Concession located in Mali, West Africa. It is the sixth found by the Company within two
months of exploration work.

The new kimberlite, a dyke, was intersected from 34 to 76 metres by a hole drilled at -65o
from horizontal. It was earlier drilled by the Company by a vertical hole that missed the target,
then perceived as a pipe. Additional magnetometer surveys and/or drilling are required to
determine the extent of this kimberlite dyke. The new find, named Foulame, is located very
close to earlier discoveries (viz: Kereko, Yaya and Pipes 47and 49) and lying along a distinct
southeastern trend.

Mink International is extremely pleased with the rate of kimberlite discoveries. Each new find
is now leading the Company to ultimately locate the sources of the numerous large diamonds
discovered on surface. The latest discovery has confirmed once again the recent observation
of deep seated feeder dykes controlling kimberlite emplacement in the region. With this
significant observation, Mink is confident of locating further kimberlite bodies in its Kenieba
Property.

The diamond drilling programme is currently ongoing in the Property.
