Nine kimberlites have been drill confirmed on the Darby Project to date and five have proven diamond bearing. In 2008, Project Operator and partner Teck Cominco Limited discovered kimberlite boulders in
two new locations. These discoveries expand the area where kimberlite has been found from 100 sq km to 1200 sq km and suggest three separate kimberlite clusters. Diamond results for the boulders discovered in 2008 are pending.

Announced that additional kimberlite boulders have been found on the Darby Project. These boulders are located in an area distinct from all previous discoveries made on the property and may represent a third kimberlite cluster. These new developments have prompted Teck Cominco Limited (“Teck Cominco”) to increase the 2008 Darby exploration budget by 18%.
