About Diadem Resources Ltd.
Diadem is focused on acquiring near-production mining opportunities in North America, especially those related to diamonds and gold. Its principal current activity is Diamond exploration in the Franklin Bay area of the Northwest Territories. On that project Diadem operates a joint venture with its fifty percent (50%) partner Darnley Bay. More than twenty potential drill targets have been identified on the Parry Peninsula, which currently constitutes the Franklin joint venture project area. Ground magnetic surveys over three of the targets have been completed in 2010. Additional surveys over another 38 targets are planned for 2011. When this is completed, Diadem will finalize its drilling program for the 2011 drilling seasons.
Drilling of four targets in 2010 located three new kimberlite pipes, for a total of thirteen in this emerging district. All permits regarding the joint venture are in place through 2012 and a proper campsite is being investigated in order to benefit both joint venture partners. Diadem recently entered into a revised joint venture arrangement with Darnley Bay Resources Limited, details of which can be found in Diadem's press release of July 9, 2010 (found under the Company's profile on SEDAR).
