Talmora Diamond Inc. (CSE:TAI) is pleased to announce the reopening of the part
brokered and part non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 Units,
comprised of 5,000,000 Hard Dollar Units at $0.03 per unit and 1,000,000
Flow-Through Units at $0.04 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $190,000. The
financing was prematurely closed on September 16, 2013 in order to distribute
the results of kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) analyses received from De
Beers Analytical Services, Johannesburg, South Africa. The private placement is
expected to close not later than March 15, 2014.


Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.
Each common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") entitles the holder to acquire
one common share for $0.05 until March 15, 2015. If after four months and one
day following the closing date the common shares of Talmora trade at or above
Can. $0.10 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may notify
the warrant holder to exercise the Warrants at a date no later than 30 calendar
days after this notification date or forfeit any unexercised Warrants at that
time. All securities issued pursuant to the financing are subject to a four
month hold period which expires on July 15, 2014. The Company will pay a cash
commission on the brokered portion of the placement at a rate to be negotiated. 


The Company currently has 57,641,468 common shares outstanding. Assuming full
take-up of the private placement there will be an additional 6,000,000 common
shares for a total of 63,641,468 outstanding. On a fully-diluted basis after
giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding share purchase warrants and
incentive stock options granted under its stock option plan the Company would
have 77,413,257 common shares outstanding.


The proceeds of the financing will be applied to exploration expenses related to
the Company's property in the Northwest Territories and to the administration of
the Company as a going concern. The market for a major financing to drill the
Company's many kimberlite targets is the worst it has been for a long time.
However, work done in 2012 was most encouraging and should facilitate the
financing of a drill program when the market turns. Meanwhile, the property is
in now in good standing.


Pricing of the units below $0.05 is permitted because of current market
conditions. It is an opportunity for those who have confidence in the Talmora
story and understand the cyclical nature of the resource business. 


Project Summary

Talmora holds 211 mineral claims (68,784 acres) straddling the 68th parallel on
the east side of the Lena West diamond area of the Northwest Territories. Most
of the claims are in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region with the remainder in the
Sahtu Settlemment Region.


Over $75 million has been spent in the Lena West area by other companies with
the recovery of numerous kimberlite indicator minerals (KIMs) and an
unprecedented 18 diamonds in field samples. No kimberlites have been found
except for the Darnley Bay and the Dharma kimberlites on a well-defined
favourable structure that includes the Talmora property. 


Sampling on the Talmora property shows a strong correlation between KIMs in till
samples and magnetic anomalies with characteristics of kimberlite pipes. The
majority of Lena West KIMs (those west of Talmora) are very similar to those
from the Talmora property but differ from those of the Darnley Bay and Dharma
properties. There is every reason to believe that the Talmora property may be
the source of the abundant KIMs and diamonds of the Lena West area. 


The Talmora property has been extensively lateritised which has destroyed
silicate KIMs. However, samples collected in 2012 included a G-10 pyrope garnet
and an eclogitic garnet that lies within the diamond inclusion field of the TiO2
vs Na2O diagram. This is the only G-10 garnet of 27 pyropes recovered to date on
the Talmora property. The 3.7% G-10 garnets compares favourably with the 3.2%
G-10 garnets found in the sample train down-ice of the highly diamondiferous
Dharma kimberlite 180 km to the southeast at the northeast corner of Great Bear
Lake.


The 2012 field program included the use of a small Packsack drill which in 3
holes penetrated the glacial till and ended in clay. The clay has
characteristics of weathered kimberlite and 14 anomalous spinel grains from one
hole lie on a relatively narrow crystallization trend line indicating a single
population with a nearby source. The same hole contains 1 picro-ilmenite and 12
Mn-ilmenites (or altered ilmenites) including 6 with diamond inclusion
compositions.


The Talmora property must now be tested with a proper drill in order to obtain
fresh kimberlite for microdiamond analysis.
