The Board of DiamondCorp, the Southern African diamond development and exploration company, announces certain corrections to the shareholdings of the Directors of the Company.
Due to an administrative oversight, details of the acquisition of ordinary shares by certain Directors as part of the placing which was announced on 7 December 2010 were included in the circular to shareholders dated 7 December 2010, but not included in the RNS announcement to the market. Details of the Directors' participation in the placing in December 2010 are set out in the table below.
