Habe einige Informationen gefunden, welche auf eine sehr positive Entwicklung hindeuten:

- das letzte PR vom 19.2.03 berichtet, dass Mr. Sam Halbonnin neu Co-Chairman + CEO geworden ist. (Philip N. Cassis,President and Director)

-da immer PR`s regelmässig kamen, ist ein neues in den nächsten Zeit zu erwarten.

-nach einem Handelsstopp an der Börse ist nun der Titel mit steigenden Kursen wieder aktiv

-auf Anfrage an den PR Verantwortlichen wurde umgehend mitgeteilt, dass eine neue Website im Entstehen sei (die alte wurde abgeschaltet)

-markante personelle Veränderungen in den letzten Monaten

-zu erwartender gravierender Anstieg in der Produktion (gemäss PR zu den Projekten)

Hat jemand Info zu der geplanten Kapitalbeschaffung?

@all
Ende März erhielt ich von dem Pressesprecher der Pan Asia auf meine Frage, warum keine Website mehr und warum der Handel an der Börse eingestellt wurde, folgendes:


There has been a cease trade order issued against the co. since January 24th. Since that time we also pulled the website and is currently being updated. As for the cto, the co. and the bcsc have had positive dialogue and as soon as the bcsc is satisfied with the comments being produced by the co. we expect to be called for trading once again. We expect to be trading in next while.
If you are unaware, the company has a 51% controlling interest in an operating diamond mine in China.
We do believe par will have a very succesful future....Thank-you for your continued interest..

Versuche näheres über die "operating diamond mine" herauszufinden....

Hier wirkt alles so geheimnisvoll.

Independent Technical Report on Pan Asia Mining Corp.`s 701 Changma Diamond Mine, China
Tuesday August 26, 12:12 pm ET


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 26, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In accordance with the requirements of the British Columbia Securities Commission under the Partial Revocation Order, Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten Consulting (Canada) Inc.(``SRK``) was retained by Pan Asia Mining Corp. (TSX Venture Exhange:PAR) (``the Company``), to complete an independent technical report on the 701 Changma Diamond Mine (``701 Mine``) in the People`s Republic of China (``PRC``). The report has been prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101.
In compliance with National Instrument 43-101, the Qualified Person that made a personal inspection of the 701 Mine during the period July 10 to July 18, 2003 is Mr. Michael Michaud, a Senior Resource Geologist with SRK. Mr. Andrew Bradfield, a Principal Mining Engineer with SRK, accompanied Mr. Michaud during the review of the 701 Mine.

The 701 Mine is situated in the Shandong Province, a costal province in the northeast PRC. The property size of the mining license is 8.2 hectares and encompasses the immediate area around the current open pit, located in Mengyin County, PRC. The 701 Joint Venture Company has the exclusive right to mine and explore for diamonds within the mining license. The Chagma diamond deposit consists of a big pipe, a small pipe and the No. 2 dike, which merge together at the -40m level (approximately 300m below the topographic surface). Exploration has defined the kimberlite pipes to a vertical depth of 600m below surface (+260m level to -340m level). The kimberlite pipe appears to extend beyond this depth but no data is available.

Mining on this property commenced in 1970. Continuous production from 1970 to June, 2003, mainly from open pit mining, has produced a total of 1.57 million carats from 1.22 million tonnes of ore for an overall grade of 1.28(ct/t) based on a 0.2mm lower stone size cutoff. For the period July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003, production has been from underground mining, and has totalled 64,184 carats from 57,304 tonnes for an overall grade of 1.12(ct/t). The primary purpose of the operation was to produce diamonds for industrial uses, however, many large gem quality stones have been produced. To date, the largest diamond recovered was 119 carats.

The Exploration and Mineral Resource definition was completed in the late 1960`s and 1970`s by the No 7 Geological Exploration Brigade of the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources, PRC. The database consists of 179 holes totalling 33,921 m, 25 trenches (1,550 m) resulting in a total of 77.5 m3 of bulk sample volume, and 76 test pits (799 m) with a total bulk sample volume of 258.9 m3. All of the samples of kimberlite collected from the drilling, test pits and trenches were processed in the No. 7 Brigade`s designed and operated, 5-8 m3/day processing plant. After reviewing the data SRK believes that the sampling and assaying procedures and Quality Assurance/Quality Control program for the bulk sampling, test pits and core drilling have been well documented. SRK did not consider it necessary to resample any of the drill core or underground exposures.

SRK completed a comparison of the stone size distributions determined from the core samples with the actual production, and found them to correlate very well. This correlation confirms that the results of the exploration sampling and assaying are reliable.

The report states that as of June 30, 2003, the 701 Mine has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,453,649 tonnes at a grade of 0.92 carats/tonne, for a total of 1,342,192 carats. The Indicated Mineral Resource is situated between the bottom of the open pit and the -40m level. Between the -40m level and the -340m level is an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1,533,385 tonnes at a grade of 0.63 carats/tonne, for a total of 966,033 carats. These results are based on 1.0mm stone size lower cutoff. It is important to recognize that although the current processing plant recovers stones greater than 0.2mm in size, the mineral resource is reported at 1.0mm in size, which is more typical of similar producing mines around the world. SRK recommends that an economic trade-off study be completed to assess whether or not it is worth the extra cost of recovering these stones. If it is deemed positive, the mineral resources grade would be adjusted upwards.

Mine personnel have completed reconciliation between the drill-defined Mineral Resource and mine production, resulting in a plant recovery of 73%. However, considering that the current processing plant is recovering a large percentage of small stones (greater than 0.2 mm in size), which is similar to the recovery of small stones from core drilling, SRK considers the plant recovery of 73% may be understated and in the opinion of SRK, is most likely due to two factors:

-- The fact that although the total number of diamonds being recovered may be recorded adequately, the current operation does not have an adequate method of reconciling tonnage from the mine and tonnage processed in the plant. As such, the processing recovery of 73% most likely includes all aspects of the mine including dilution and mining recovery in addition to plant recovery. Therefore, SRK recommends that a better procedure of tracking tonnages in the reconciliation be completed. The Company has requested that SRK provide recommendations for procedure of tracking tonnages and the reconciliation to be completed.

-- Another source of discrepancy is loss of diamonds to theft, particularly large stones, but this is impossible to quantify. Security measures are considered by SRK to be very lax, and theft is thought to exist.

In addition, from 1990 to 1993, mine personnel sampled the ore feed from the open pit and compared this with the Mineral Resource estimates. The tonnage was comparable, but the grade was approximately 10% higher than the feed grade. Therefore SRK concluded that the estimated grade for this period of time compares well with production and adds support for current drill-defined Mineral Resource estimates.

In the opinion of SRK, the current valuation of the recovered diamonds is not maximized based on current world market conditions. The Company recently commissioned the services of Mr. Nizam Peters of American Institute of Diamond Cutting, an independent diamond valuator based in Florida, U.S.A., to provide recommendations on the current classification scheme and valuation. Mr.Peters examined two parcels of stones representing production from May and June, 2003, a total of approximately 10,000 carats. Mr. Peters reported that ``Based on the mix of industrial diamond sizes seen in the overall production for the industrial portion for both May and June, it is my opinion that gem quality material in the large sizes may be deficient``. Considering the very poor security in place at the 701 Mine, and the relatively low proportion of gem quality stones in the larger size fractions, compared to industrial quality stones, there may be a deficiency of the gem quality stones in this parcel. It was jointly decided by SRK and Mr. Peters that a true valuation of the stones at this time could not be achieved. Therefore it was recommended that a better security system with trained personnel be implemented at the mine, and a parcel of stones representing two to three months of production be collected and stored for valuation.

Another important outcome of this review was the question of stone fragmentation during processing, where previously it was thought that changing the processing method could substantially reduce the number of fragmented stones, and therefore, improve the overall value per carat. However, in the opinion of Mr. Peters, the fragmentation, although it is occurring, generally only accounts for a small percentage of the stones. In addition, the majority of fragmented stones are of poor quality, and are primarily the brown stones that are typically weaker in nature and often have a greater number of inclusions. These stones are of industrial quality, and therefore, decreasing the fragmentation of these stones is not expected to significantly increase the overall value per carat of the deposit.

The Company has begun to implement SRK`s recommendations with the purpose of obtaining proper valuation of diamonds. The Company has engaged the services of Mr. Peters to review and implement new security policies and procedure to ensure the safeguard of the Company`s diamond assets. The Company has recently entered into an agreement with a China Company to provided security monitoring equipment which is currently being installed at the 701 Mine. The Company has also mobilized a team of individuals to provide a physical presence until full security system is in place. The Company is currently reviewing proposals for a Dense Media Separation (DMS) plant and X-ray sort house facility which will improve the situation dramatically. The processing plant is currently designed to process 70,000tpy. In general the processing plant is old and inefficient. The plant requires new parts and maintenance to reach the design capacity. SRK recommends that the processing plant be studied with a view of increasing the capacity of the plant, and improve diamond recovery. The Company has also retained Bateman Minerals, South Africa, to study the options with respect to the processing plant.

SRK did not find diamond classification and valuation information to be sufficient to base a proper economic analysis of current, and future, operation at the 701 Mine. As such the current Mineral Resources cannot be converted to Mineral Reserves. Therefore, the cash flow analysis of the operation will be deferred until the information can be compiled. It is anticipated that a period of three months is required to ensure a secure, representative parcel of diamonds to be valued and sold. The three month period provides the valuator time to not only value a more representative parcel of stones, but also provides time for the Company to sell the stones on the world market to compare the valuation with actual prices.

The mine is proposing to use the sublevel caving method to extract ore from the underground mine, which SRK agrees is appropriate for the 701 Mine rock conditions. However, given the relatively strong nature of the host rock and kimberlite, SRK recommends that the sublevel heights in the big pipe may be increased to 15m or 20m. This has the potential to save a significant amount of future development, and hence, capital costs.

The current underground mine design capacity is capable of hoisting up to 450tpd from 110m level, and is adequate to give an average of 333tpd. There is an opportunity to make revisions to the planned underground development. SRK recommends that haulage levels below 110m level, and decline deepening, be delayed until a mine planning study has been carried out to review sublevel height, equipment selection, rock mechanics and operating and capital stock. There is adequate kimberlite above the 110m level to meet the processing plant capacity for at least one year.

Current operations are successful at 701 Mine because they are only mining ore below the open pit and have not yet commenced true sublevel caving. SRK recommends that a mining engineer with sublevel caving experience be hired to provide training.

The current level of mine planning at the 701 Mine is not sufficient. A yearly plan is done and is used to estimate the next year`s budget. Detailed planning must be carried out, on a weekly, monthly, and six-month basis. Long-term planning for a period of at least five years should also be carried out. There should also be a life-of-mine plan.

SRK has listed a comprehensive series of recommendations throughout their report in order to assist 701 Mine management in their goal of continually improving the current operations. The company has retained SRK to provided further studies on recommendations where required and institute a plan with current mine managers for implementation of relevant recommendations. Andrew Bradfield of SRK was returned to the Mine site on August 18, 2003 to begin this process.

Overall, SRK believes that the 701 Mine has the potential to be much improved given the appropriate set of mining and processing scenarios possible to maximize the Mineral Resource and profitability.

Der obenstehende PR / Bericht eines Experten zur Situation in der Hauptmine zeigt, dass grosses Potenzial besteht.

Jedoch ist die Ausbeute tief infolge von veraltetem Gerät und mangelnder Sicherheit ("ein Stein für Dich.. ein Stein für mich...").

Man wird nach Implementation von verschiedenen Sofortmassnahmen über 3 Monate alle gefundenen Steine aufbewahren und dann diese zur Analyse etc. verkaufen.

Ich glaube, dass diese jetzt ofiziell berichtete Situation ein Grund für den "Managementaustausch" war!

Pressemittteilung vom 17. Dezember 2003

HUIXIAN JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT RENEGOTIATED
The Company is pleased to announce that it has, subject to regulatory approval, renegotiated its agreement (the “Huixian Agreement”) with Huixian Copper & Metal Mine with respect to its joint venture interest in Shandong Huixian Gold Fields Minerals Co. Ltd. (the “Huixian Joint Venture”). The Huixian Joint Venture was formed in 1994 to explore for gold, silver, copper and other minerals in Zouping County, Shandong province, China, on mineral properties referred to as the “Huixian Properties”.

Under the terms of the Huixan Agreement, the Company will have a 60% equity interest in the Huixian Joint Venture immediately upon remittance of a $US30,000 capital contribution payment. The Company anticipates that it will remit this $US30,000 payment as described in (a) below, thereby earning its 60% interest.

Under the terms of this amended agreement, the Company will contribute $US3,500,000 in addition to the $US1,500,000 previously contributed to the Huixian Joint Venture.

The Company’s contribution will be made in accordance with the agreed upon payment schedule as follows:

(a). $US30,000, upon signing of this amended agreement which funds are anticipated to be remitted next week.

(b). $US70,000, upon confirmation by governmental authorities that the Huixian Joint Venture is in good standing and that all exploration licenses, mining licenses, Land Use Rights and business licenses are in good standing.

(c). $US500,000, upon review of geological and exploration data by an engineer appointed by the Company and approval of the exploration plan by the Board of Directors of the Huixian Joint Venture.

(d). $US500,000, upon completion of a report and approval of the Board of Directors of the Huixian Joint Venture that the current processing plant should be renovated and prepared to commence operations; and

(e). $US2,400,000, upon the earlier of the funds being requested in writing by the Board of Directors of the Huixian Joint Venture or 12 months from the date that this amended agreement is signed.

The Board of Directors of the Huixian Joint Venture will consist of five Directors, three of which will be appointed by Pan Asia Mining Corp. As well, the Chairman and Legal Representative of the Huixian Joint Venture will be appointed by Pan Asia Mining Corp.

“Mr. Sam Halbouni, Chairman and CEO of Pan Asia Mining Corp. states that “The Company re-evaluated its investment in the Huixian Properties and determined that based on the current market for gold, the timing was right to re-establish its investment in these properties. Renegotiation of the Huixian Properties was completed following similar renegotiations of the Company’s other joint venture agreements.”

SRK Consulting has been retained by the Company to complete a 43-101 compliant technical report on the Huixian Properties.

With completion of these negotiations and following remittance of the initial payments, the Company has a controlling interest in each of its joint ventures in China and assumes operatorship of the joint venture properties. This contrasts with the Company’s previous joint venture agreements which required that the Company make full capital contributions before earning its equity interests or assuming operatorship of the joint venture properties.

There is no assurance that geological exploration work or geological reports prepared in compliance with applicable securities legislation will recommend further work on the Ma Jing Property. No NI 43-101 compliant geological data or reports are presently available for the Ma Jing Property. Assuming that the Company’s geological staff are satisfied with their review of existing exploration data concerning the Ma Jing Property, the Company intends to retain a firm of independent geological consultants to complete an NI 43-101 compliant report on the Ma Jing Property.

“With this new project the Company has increased its investment in gold exploration properties in China, says Sam Halbouni, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. “The acquisition of additional properties in China will, we believe, enhance the Company’s potential to realize a return from its investments in China”.

The Company would like to inform its shareholders that it’s web site is now online. For more information about the Company please visit our web site at www.chinadiamondcorp.com. and register your name in the Company data base to be on the Company’s e-mail directory.

CHINA DIAMOND CORP ANNOUNCES INDEPENDENT DIAMOND VALUATION

London, ON, January 12, 2004 - China Diamond Corp. (TSX-V: CDC - the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of a recent independent diamond valuation from secured production at their 701 Changma Mine in the Shandong Province of the People’s Republic of China.

Of a total of 4,277.1 carats in the evaluated parcel, 2,196.5 carats or, 51% of the diamonds, are gem quality including a single 33.3 carat stone. The total value of the parcel is estimated to be between US$350,000 and US$400,000, or between US$76.10 per carat and US$88.30 per carat.

The valuation completed in China on December 28, 2003 from a parcel collected between November 26, 2003 and December 22, 2003, is the average value of three independent qualified valuators: Mr. He Naihua, Ms. Yan Yihong and Mr. Pei Keyi. Each person personally inspected all of the recovered diamonds while maintaining a proper chain of custody. All gem quality diamonds were individually valued and the remaining industrial stones were grouped into industrial purpose and valued by group weight.

The parcel of stones totaling 4277.1 carats of rough diamonds (based on a 1.0 millimetre lower stone size cutoff) was obtained at the 701 Changma Mine from a total processed tonnage of 5,997 tonnes. The resulting grading is 0.79 carats per metric tonne. A review by SRK Consulting indicates that the diamond distribution, particularly the number of larger stones collected, is in agreement with the stone size distribution defined by the Mineral Resource and is therefore considered a representative parcel of diamonds for valuation.

“The results of this valuation are a tremendous vindication of the work already accomplished at the 701 Changma Mine, and we hope to further increase our yield through improved diamond recovery in the processing plant,” said Chairman and CEO Sam Halbouni. “We will continue to have parcels independently evaluated to provide ongoing encouragement to investors and to support the utmost confidence among shareholders.”

Exploration at the 701 Changma Mine in the Shandong province of the Peoples Republic of China is under the supervision of Michael J. Michaud of SRK Consulting, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Michaud is responsible for the preparation of technical information in the Company’s News Releases and disclosure documents. Sample preparation and analysis was conducted by SRK Consulting.

Press Release

SOURCE: China Diamond Corp.

Philip Cassis Interview


London, ON, March 30, 2004 – China Diamond Corp. (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) today released the following excerpt from an interview with China Diamond Corp. President Philip Cassis.

Q: What are some of China Diamond Corp.’s recent developments?

Philip Cassis: Six months ago we held our Annual General Meeting and set ambitious goals for the Company. Since that time we have added Andrew Bradfield and Michael Michaud as key elements of our management team. We have negotiated more favorable terms for our joint venture agreements in China. We have commissioned independent valuation of the 701 Changma mine, and technical reports for our 702 and 703 properties. Most importantly, we have kept our covenant with shareholders and the Exchange to provide material information accurately, and in a timely manner.

Q: What quantitative goals have you met?

PC: We have markedly improved operations at the 701 mine. Of 50,542 carats of diamonds recovered in 2003, 15,659 carats were recovered in two months under new managements more efficient operations. We more than doubled the monthly production of diamonds in less than two months. This exceeded our expectations for production.

Q: To what do you attribute the growth in production?

PC: Management was able to create new efficiencies that contributed to greater processing, recovery, and retention. For instance, we retained a consultant who tightened up mine security, allowing us to retain more of the diamonds recovered from processing. We expect to continue at a higher level of efficiency, and we are hopeful that we will continue to see the recovery of significant gemstones.

Q: What do you consider a “significant gemstone”?

PC: It’s hard to define a significant gemstone. Over the thirty years in which the mine has been in operation there have been some tremendous diamonds recovered. There was a 119 carat stone in 1988, 67 carats in 1991, and just recently we recovered a 33 carat stone we sold for $187,000. We love to see those, but we are very happy with lots of one carat stones, too.

Q: How much of your production is gemstone quality diamonds?

PC: Based on a representative sample of diamonds recovered from our 701 mine, 51% of the diamonds recovered are gemstone quality diamonds. This is a very favorable balance for any mine of this nature. Our current production grade is 0.71 carats per tonne. This is very good, but we believe we can do better.

Q: Can you count on continued recovery of gemstone quality diamonds?

PC: You can never be sure, but there has been no shortage over the last thirty year’s production. Of course, past performance is no assurance of future performance, but it is nice to have a track record.

Q: Where does China Diamond Corp. stand now?

PC: China Diamond Corp. is in the best position it has been in since inception. This is a very exciting time for the Company. We are actively involved in underground mining at the 701 mine, and we continue to recover diamonds to sell in the worldwide market. We are in the process of obtaining financing to continue improvements at the 701 mine, and to complete exploration of the neighboring 702 property, the 703 property, and the Huixian properties. We are hopeful that we will receive approval of our development of our Mineral Resources from the Exchange, and in turn we hope to return to Tier 1 status, and ultimately a Toronto Stock Exchange listing.

Q: What is the current status of financing?

PC: We expect financing to close shortly.

Q: Where does China Diamond Corp. go from here?

PC: There are three operational areas on which we are focused. First, we will continue to improve operations at the 701 mine. Second, with the approval of the exploration plan we will move forward rapidly to take advantage of the opportunities we see at 702, 703, and Huixian. Third, financing will allow us to accelerate our plans for development, and allow for increased efficiency through technological upgrade. We are doing everything we can to get a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but it is in their hands.

Q: How does China Diamond Corp. compare with other diamond companies?

PC: There are so many other good diamond companies in Canada that it is a challenge to distinguish ourselves. We are an existing producer with a long track record of production. We have good production in terms of quantity and quality. We think we distinguish ourselves by having operations in China that allow us to grow rapidly, and cost effectively. The opportunity in China is very different than the opportunity in Canada, and we feel we have a very real chance of realizing value for shareholders quickly and efficiently in China.

Q: How would you sum up?

PC: China Diamond Corp. is China’s largest diamond producer. We are uniquely positioned to grow rapidly. Growth in our operations and the prospect of graduating to a senior exchange are tremendous motivating factors for management. We hope investors will see value in our efforts.

China Diamond Corp. Provides Exploration Update on 702, 703 and Huixian Properties

LONDON, ON - (May 11, 2004) – China Diamond Corp. (TSX-V: CDC), China’s largest diamond producer, is pleased to provide an update on its advanced exploration properties in Shandong Province, China. The company looks forward to a very active exploration program in 2004, during which time several of its projects will be intensively explored.

There is approximately 40 years of geological data that exists for the Company’s 702 and 703 diamond properties and the Huixian gold-copper project. The company’s technical team in China has been actively compiling the geological data in modern three-dimensional exploration and mining software that allows for an efficient assessment of the data and the ability to better focus the planned 2004 exploration program.

702 Property
During 2003, the company retained SRK consulting to evaluate the 702 property. The results included confirmation of 9 economic diamond-bearing kimberlite targets within the licensed area. Compilation and analysis of the existing data with mining software is being carried out as a first step in the planned 2004 exploration program. The anticipated program will include core drilling and selected bulk sampling on the 702 project to better assess the diamond distribution, quality and value. This information will be used to select the optimal mining and processing scenario for the upcoming feasibility study.

703 Property
Previous exploration consisting of surface sampling of rock float, test pitting, and shallow auger drilling has recovered a number of diamonds and diamond indicator minerals on the 703 property. During 2004, the Company plans to begin core drilling where the previous surface sampling has identified three primary targets.

Huixian Gold-Copper Property
The planned exploration program includes core drilling on the Huixian gold-copper project to assess the down dip potential of the mineralization, and thereby add to the current resource base. In addition, follow surface exploration, consisting of surface sampling and trenching is planned in the area immediately surrounding the Huixian Mine, where previous exploration has identified a number of anomalous zones of gold mineralization.

“Exploration on our highly prospective properties is a key component of building shareholder value”, said Philip Cassis, President, China Diamond Corp. “We are pleased to be entering the next phase of our business plan which includes further developing the exploration program for 2004, adding to the company’s existing mineral resource base and advancing these properties to production as quickly as possible.”

Michael Michaud, P.Geo., M.Sc., Vice President of Exploration for China Diamond Corp. is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken on the 702, 703 and Huixian properties controlled by China Diamond Corp. He has reviewed the contents of this news release.

Previously the Company’s Vice-President of Exploration and current member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Michaud will take on the responsibilities of President, effective immediately. “Mr. Michaud’s commitment to the Company and his technical and corporate experience makes him an ideal candidate for this position,” says Mr. Halbouni. “The Company has complete confidence in his abilities in this capacity.”

In the role of President, Mr. Michaud will focus on the advancement of the Company’s current portfolio of diamond and gold mineral properties in China. This includes developing a growth strategy through property acquisitions that capitalizes on the Company’s competitive advantage in China.

A professional geologist, Mr. Michaud is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and will continue in this capacity for China Diamond Corp’s properties.

He has been actively involved with both the exploration and mining aspects of mineral projects and provides a strong connection between these two phases of project development.

Mr. Michaud has previously held the position as a Board of Director for several private and public companies, and as such, is experienced with corporate management, regulatory requirements, financing methods and liaising with the public. Prior to working for China Diamond, he served as a partner and member of the Board of Directors and Office Manager at SRK Consulting in Toronto. His work as a consultant has involved exploration management, resource estimation, economic studies, reports for stock exchange listings, and engineering studies. Mr. Michaud holds an honors B.Sc. from the University of Waterloo, and a M.Sc. from Lakehead University.

‘I am looking forward to working together in this new role and working with the Company’s dynamic team of directors and management,” Mr. Michaud says. “I welcome the challenge of advancing the Company’s exploration and mining properties in China. We have an impressive portfolio of projects; with continued exploration and property acquisitions, the Company will keep building momentum toward increasing shareholder value.”

Mr. Halbouni says “Mr. Michaud’s appointment as president marks the next phase in the restructuring of the Company.”

“With his mining and corporate administrative experience, Mr. Michaud is the ideal candidate to take this Company to the next level, and we are excited about these future prospects,” he says. “A year ago, the Board of Directors and management were given the mandate to restructure and develop the Company so that it would be able to leverage its opportunities in China in reaching its full potential as World Class mining operation. Today we can grow the Company more effectively. Having strengthened our relationships in China; our corporate governance, and financial standing, we have built a foundation ready to meet the challenges of becoming a world class operation.”

Mr. Halbouni continued saying “China Diamond can now focus its full attention on mining and exploration of the properties it has an interest in, as well as building on its business and government relations in China to find additional opportunities in keeping with our stated business strategies.”

Mr. Philip Cassis former President says “I am confident that in his role as President, Michael Michaud, will take this Company to new heights and he will rise to the challenges that come with the office of President. I support this appointment 100% and look forward to working together with Michael in achieving our corporate objectives.

Resigning from his role as President, Mr. Philip Cassis will take on the newly appointed position of Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. He will also take on the added responsibility of overseeing the shareholder relations initiative.

“In the past year, China Diamond’s shareholder base has expanded considerably, including the addition of institutional investors.

2004-12-18, China Diamond Corp. Announces
November Production Results and Initiation of Capital Development Program

London, Ontario – China Diamond Corp. (TSX-V: CDC), is once again very pleased to announce the production results from the 701 Changma Diamond Mine, its principal mining operation located in Shandong Province in the People’s Republic of China. In addition, the Company has developed and initiated a capital development program at the Mine.

November Production
For the one month period ending November 25, 2004, the 701 mine produced 9,716 carats, greater than 1.0 mm in size, from 13,271 tonnes processed grading 0.73 carats/tonne. A total of 14,699 tonnes were mined from the underground operation. The tonnages mined and processed represent the highest monthly production figures since the beginning of underground operations.

The Company has implemented a number of operational improvements that have significantly improved production, grade, and carat recovery as evidenced by the record production of diamonds realized thus far in 2004. The Company is continuing to make improvements at the mine, with future focus on the processing facility and the marketing and sales of the diamonds.

701 Mine
Development Program
As a result of an investigation of the potential of the Mine, the Company has developed a mine plan with considerable capital investment to modernize the mining and processing facility with the goal of increasing diamond production and value. In this way, the Company plans to maximize the potential of the Mine.

The Company has developed a Mine plan that addresses several critical aspects of the operation, including:

Production rate;
Diamond Recovery;
Security;
Diamond Fragmentation;
Diamond Marketing and Sales;
Operating Costs.


First, the development plan includes the installation of a Dense Medium Separator (DMS) and an X-ray Sorter, along with modifications to the current process flowsheet that will i) improve diamond recovery, ii) increase production rate, iii) provide better security in a “closed system”, and iv) reduce diamond fragmentation. Cumulatively, these improvements will increase overall diamond value and profitability of the Mine.

Second, the Company will be injecting working capital into the Mine, thus providing an opportunity to optimize the diamond parcel size for marketing and sales and providing sufficient time to find buyers on the World market. This will enable the Mine to achieve the best possible value for the diamond production.

Third, the planned development program will result in an increase in production of approximately 200,000 tonnes per annum, or approximately 155,000 carats per annum (>1mm diamonds). The geometry of the kimberlite pipes, measuring approximately 100m x 50m in plan view, supports this increase in production rate. This provides the Mine the opportunity to capitalize on the economy of scale from a larger production rate, resulting in improved productivity and lower operating costs.

As part of this capital injection and increased production at the Mine, the Company has commenced the extension of the main decline from the 110 Level to the -40 Level (150 vertical metres). This part of the program is anticipated to be completed by the end of May, 2005. As a result, ore production is estimated to be reduced to approximately 6,000 tonnes per month during this period. However, mining will occur primarily in the higher grade area of the Small Pipe, thus minimizing the reduction in diamond production. The Company is currently investigating alternatives to expedite the development of the decline.

Capital Costs and Schedule
The planned capital development totals US$3.3 million over the next three years that consists of:

2005 - US$1.4 million for the procurement and installation of DMS and X-ray sorter, modifications to the current process facility, underground development and working capital;

2006 – US$1.5 million for underground development that will be required to support the planned increased production rate;

2007 – US$400,000 for underground development.

Over the past 6 months, the Company has been actively exploring various financing options for the planned capital improvements. The realization of the planned capital improvements at the Mine are contingent upon the Company’s ability to raise the required financing.

Diamond Valuation
The Company has spent considerable effort during 2004 to ascertain a realistic value of the diamonds from the 701 Mine. Diamond sales for 2004 have varied considerably in price related to a number of factors, including where the diamonds were mined in the deposit, how large of a parcel of diamonds were sold, diamond buyer, etc. However, the Company and its various advisors believe that with the planned capital improvements will result in a higher diamond value being realized. The primary reasons for this are summarized below:

By far the biggest potential of increasing the diamond value at the Mine is by reducing the amount of fragmentation of the diamonds during processing. The present process includes a combination of aggressive crushing and grinding that is fragmenting many of the larger diamonds. The Company’s development plan includes the installation of the DMS and X-ray sorter, while modifying the grinding circuit to greatly reduce this fragmentation.

Equally as important at the Mine is the present security system. Although security procedures are continually improving, it is the Company’s belief that only with the installation of a “closed” DMS and X-ray sorter system can we ensure secured diamond production. Since the majority of underground capital development being completed at the Mine is presently being paid from the operating cash flow, there exists insufficient working capital at the end of each month to stockpile a large parcel of diamonds for sale, in the order of 2-3 months of production. In addition, the need to sell the diamonds at the end of each month to meet cash flow requirements, does not supply sufficient time to best market the diamonds. The planned injection of working capital by the Company during the development program period aims to improve this situation. Presently, the Mine sells the diamonds primarily to Chinese customers, again related to the need for cash flow. However, the Company is designing a marketing and sales program that will maximize the diamond value.

Future Exploration - Invisible Pipe
During 2004, the Company confirmed the presence of a third diamondiferous kimberlite pipe at the 701 Mine (see August 13, 2004 press release). Given the limited amount of exploration drill data in this area, the Company believes there is excellent potential to increase the size of the modeled pipe, and therefore, to add to the current mineral resource base.

The Company plans to further explore the Invisible pipe in order to define the geometry of the Pipe and also to collect a representative bulk sample to better define the diamond size distribution and diamond value prior to estimating the Mineral Resources in accordance with 43-101 regulations. The bulk sample will be collected from an exploration/development raise from the 110 Level to the 120 Level that provides access to the pipe. The processing of the bulk sample will be completed once the DMS and X-ray sorter have been installed.

“The Company is very pleased with the results of the improvements we have implemented at the Mine in 2004, as evidenced by the record production of diamonds” says Mike Michaud, the Company’s President. “However, the Company, and our Chinese Joint Venture Partner, have now developed and initiated a mine plan that will better realize the full potential of the Mine through increased production, better diamond recovery, less diamond fragmentation and better security”.

The Company will be announcing shortly the 2005 programs for the other projects in China, namely the 702, 703 and Huixian Projects.

Mr. Michaud is the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

China Diamond Corp. Commences Exploration at Huixian Gold-Copper Project

London, Ontario, March 1, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”) a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that exploration has commenced at the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, Shandong Province, China.

As detailed in the Company’s February 10, 2005 News Release, the Company recently established a strategic alliance with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (SPEI) in Shandong Province. The alliance resulted in immediate and multiple benefits towards the Company`s exploration and acquisition initiatives in Zouping County, as well as, the entire Shandong Province.

As a direct result of this strategic alliance, the exploration program has been expedited and now commenced with an initial phase of detailed geological mapping. The mapping will take place along a strike length of approximately 14 kilometres of favourable geology that hosts the past producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine. Preliminary results are anticipated in April.

The majority of the gold-copper mineralization in the area of the Huixian project occurs within the Zouping caldera, primarily along circular and radiating structures along the rim of the caldera. Exploration work carried out on the Zouping caldera since the late 1950’s has identified 29 exploration targets within Zouping County that have experienced only limited surface exploration. The Company considers the property to be under-explored, and therefore, represents significant potential for hosting significant gold and copper mineralization.

This initial phase exploration, costing an estimated $200,000, will be completed by the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. stated “We are very pleased with the commencement of this exploration program that will provide the Company with a much better understanding of the potential value of this project. It is a first and significant step towards making a determination of the most suitable mining and processing scenario that maximizes the mineral resource, its economic viability and, ultimately, shareholder value."

China Diamond Issues Corporate Update To Discuss Strategy With Shareholders
London, Ontario, March 15, 2005 - China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) ("the Company") (http://www.chinadiamondcorp.com) a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting 2004 and discussing the Company`s plans for 2005.

For shareholder convenience, this corporate update discusses current operations and future plans on a property by property basis. Management believes such a discussion is warranted and valuable given the voluminous amounts of information released over the last six months. Furthermore, management is pleased to advise this corporate update represents the first in a series of further such discussions covering important aspects of the Company including its operations, plans for creating shareholder value, ongoing financing requirements to maximize shareholder value, key personnel and partnerships, and other important such matters.

Management believes very strongly in the value of its shareholders and providing effective communications to insure a uniform, comprehensive understanding of the Company`s plans to generate long-term shareholder value.

Further to this, Company President, Michael Michaud, stated "China Diamond is a very exciting company with three different diamond projects at three different stages of development, which provides our shareholders with incredible fundamental value. Specifically, our 701 mine is at the operating stage and planned improvements will help to further improve production. Our 702 property is at the advanced exploration stage and has completed a feasibility study. Our 703 property is at the grassroots stage, with diamonds already recovered from surface sampling and a drilling program commencing upon completion of the magnetic survey. Finally, our Huixian gold-copper project contains high-grade mineralization, with further exploration having commenced on March 1. My mission is to now advance all of these projects to their highest and best valuations, in a prudent but efficient manner, to generate maximum shareholder value for all of us."

China Diamond Chairman and CEO, Sam Halbouni, added "I am extremely confident that our Company now has the right people and plans in place to realize the full potential of our assets for the benefit of all shareholders. I want to remind our valued shareholders that management owns approximately 30% of this company`s outstanding shares and, therefore, is fully aligned in its goals of building a powerful and expanding operation for years to come."

PROJECT SUMMARIES
701 CHANGMA DIAMOND MINE

The company`s principal operation is the 50% owned 701 Changma Diamond Mine, which accounted for approximately $1,040,000 in diamond sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Since production commenced in 1970, the mine has produced in excess of 1.5 million carats by open pit mining. In July of 2002, the Company commenced underground production, which has yielded 154,000 carats as of December 31, 2004.

Diamond production levels for 2004 represented a 46% increase over 2003, which is solely attributed to improvements implemented by the Company during the year and serves as a strong indication of management`s ability to significantly increase shareholder value through necessary but cost-efficient improvements.

Measured and indicated resources are 1.23 million carats, while inferred resources are estimated at 966,000 carats.

701 PLANS

The Company strongly believes that significant unrealized value remains to be obtained through simple but continued capital expenditure improvements that address the following important aspects of the Operation:

* Increasing Diamond Production
* Lower Operating Costs
* Achieving Better Security Through a "Closed" Production System
* Maximizing Diamond Values With New Technology
* Reducing Fragmentation of Large Stones
* Improving Sales and Marketing Strategy

Successful financing to accomplish these goals will provide the Company with the ability to optimize diamond parcel size, sufficient time to find buyers on the World market, ultimately leading to achieving the best possible value for the diamond production and significantly higher long-term shareholder value. The planned capital development program will total US$3.5 million over the next three years.

This capital improvement plan is well-timed and in consideration of the important fact that prices for rough and polished diamonds are expected to increase significantly through to the end of the decade. The role of Chinese consumption cannot be understated in this trend, as China is now the world`s third-largest consumer of diamond jewelry, according to the Diamond Administration of China. The nation is also set to become the world`s second-biggest cutting center, according to De Beers of South Africa.

These trends serve as the foundation of China Diamond Corp. strategy to become a significant participant within this lucrative and growing market for the long term, a strategy that will be realized through cost-efficient advances at 701 and all Company properties over the next two years, which should also yield incremental gains to asset values.

702 DIAMOND PROPERTY - AN ADVANCED EXPLORATION PROJECT

The 702 property is an exploration project at a very advanced stage, with a feasibility study already completed by the Company`s Chinese partner in 2004. Previous exploration at 702 has identified at least 32 diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. To date, $4.2 million has been spent on the exploration and development of 702, equating to 209 drill holes, with kimberlite defined to a depth of 600 metres below surface. Of the 32 diamondiferous kimberlite bodies, a cluster of 9 major diamond bearing kimberlite bodies and pipes are the current focus of evaluation.

To put the 702 property into perspective, it can be characterized as having larger and better quality diamonds than our 701 mine with an overall lower grade. Total measured and indicated resources total 534,000 carats, with total inferred at 3.35 million carats.

702 PLANS

The Company is currently assessing various mining and processing alternatives in order to optimize shareholder value. To this end, following the recommendations made by SRK Consulting, the Company plans to perform a bulk sampling and feasibility study in accordance with 43-101 standards, to update diamond value for each of the 9 individual pipes.

703 DIAMOND PROPERTY - ALONG TREND

The 703 Property may be at a grass roots stage but it is located along a trend of previously identified kimberlite pipes, including the producing 701 Mine. Further, SRK Consulting considers the 703 Property a potential host for the same type and age of kimberlite that is found at the neighbouring 701 Changma Mine. Finally, surface sampling completed by the No.7 Geological Brigade has already recovered a number of diamonds and indicator minerals.

703 PLANS

Following SRK`s recommendations, China Diamond Corp. will attempt to identify the source of diamonds recovered from surface sampling by means of additional exploration so that known targets can be better assessed and new areas of potential diamondiferous deposits identified.

In addition, initial results from a very recent magnetic survey successfully identified three additional magnetic anomalies over a relatively small area of only 12km2 in this highly prospective region. Once the magnetic survey is complete, the Company plans to immediately commence a drilling and surface bulk sampling program to assess the magnetic anomalies.

The Company`s experience with kimberlites in the region, including the 701 and 702 projects, suggests that kimberlite bodies typically occur as clusters, and as such, indicates the excellent potential for finding additional kimberlite bodies in the immediate vicinity of the previously discovered Dajingtou anomaly.

It is anticipated the core drilling and bulk-sampling program will commence in March 2005. Additionally, the Company is finalizing the refurbishment of a laboratory in Linyi in anticipation of the drilling and surface bulk sampling program at the 703 property.

Finally, realizing the potential of this region, the Company is waiting upon a pending exploration license for the Mountain Top Conglomerate Area where over 2,000 diamonds have been recovered.

HUIXIAN GOLD-COPPER PROPERTY

The Huixian gold-copper project covers an area of approximately 18km2. It is characterized by high-grade gold and copper mineralization in shallow underground workings, with excellent down dip potential.

The property is located within an area where numerous small and medium-sized deposits have been discovered and are currently being mined, making it one of the most prospective mineralized regions in Shandong province. The property itself is host to the past producing Huixian gold-copper mine, as well as, a number of anomalous zones of gold-copper mineralization. The Company considers the property to be under-explored, and therefore, represents significant potential for hosting significant gold-copper mineralization.

To this end, exploration commenced on March 1, 2005, to better assess the potential value of the property by identifying additional exploration targets on the property.

INVALUABLE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

On Feb 10th, 2005, China Diamond announced the formation of a strategic alliance with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (¡§SPEI¡¨) based in the Capital City of Jinan, Shandong Province, China. This new alliance will provide invaluable insight and direction at the Huixian Project and help accelerate claims in the region. Additionally, the alliance provides a significant advantage in its ability to expeditiously secure mineral rights, necessary permits and other important governmental approvals that could not previously be achieved.

The Company`s ability to secure such an important strategic alliance serves as a further strong indication of management`s influence within the region and ability to generate long-term shareholder value.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

The capital improvement plans outlined above stem from the astute observations made by key operating management and reputable consulting firms. Unlike many exploration companies that require capital for the purposes of exploration with the strong possibility of little to no yield on their investment, China Diamond Corp. is in the advantageous position of being able to determine a reasonably predictable return on much of its capital expenditures. This is especially true in relation to the improvement plan at the 701 Mine.

As such, though necessary, shareholders can have great confidence that all funding decisions are made in a highly calculated fashion that minimizes short-term dilution, while maximizing long-term value creation. To this end, the Company has now commenced aggressive promotion of the Company through broker road shows, luncheon presentations, participation at conferences, radio shows and the internet. Shareholders can expect to see the Company increase these investor relations activities in concert with anticipated news and developments from our projects throughout 2005 and beyond.

China Diamond Corp. Announces First Quarter Production Results From The 701 Diamond Mine
London, Ontario CANADA, April 01, 2005 - China Diamond Corp. (CDC - TSX Venture), (``the Company``) a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce production results from the 701 Changma Diamond Mine for the first quarter of 2005. The 701 Changma Diamond Mine is the Company`s principal mining operation located in Shandong Province in the People`s Republic of China.

For the three-month period December 26, 2004 to March 25, 2005, the 701 Mine produced 9,240.5 carats greater than 1.0 mm in size, from 18,574 tonnes of processed ore. The Mine Plan forecast for the three-month period was 10,400 carats from 18,000 tonnes.

701 PRODUCTION OUTLOOK FOR 2005

As expected, first quarter production was lower than the last quarter of 2004 due to the Company`s previously announced 2005 capital development program at the 701 Mine, as well as, the annual 2-week break during Spring Festival. Diamond production is planned to increase from present levels in May when a higher-grade area of the deposit is mined. In addition, production is planned to be at full capacity in September when development of the main decline is expected to be completed.

701 UNDERGROUND DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS AND OUTLOOK

In December 2004 the Company commenced an extension of the main decline from the 110 Level to the -40 Level (see December 18, 2004 and January 28, 2005 News Releases). As of the end of first quarter 2005, the main decline has been extended by 148 metres. In the upcoming second quarter, the primary focus of development will be to complete the 60 Level, which is the next main haulage level below the 110 Level. Upon completion of the 60 Level, which is forecasted for the end of May, further deepening of the main decline will have less of a restrictive effect on ore production.

Finally, development is being carried out around the Invisible Pipe in preparation for mining. A bulk sample of the pipe will be taken once the DMS and X-ray sorter have been installed in the processing plant.

Andrew Bradfield, the Company`s Chief Operating Officer and JV Deputy General Manager sated ``We continue to be extremely pleased with progress at the 701 Changma Diamond Mine, as underground development during the first quarter of 2005 remained on target. Decreased production compared to the final quarter of 2004 was anticipated in the Mine Plan and very acceptable when compared to the long-term benefits for the Company.``

China Diamond Signs LOU To Initiate Acquisition and Exploration Of Three Gold Projects in Prolific Shandong Province
London, Ontario, April 4, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Understanding (``LOU``) with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) to commence with the acquisition of mineral rights and exploration for three gold projects in Jiadong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China.

The three prospective areas to be secured with an exploration license are located within the Zhao-Ye gold belt on the western portion of the Jiadong Peninsula (please go to www.agoracom.com/images/chinamap.jiadong.jpg for figure 1 and www.agoracom.com/images/jiadong.zone.jpg to see a figure2). The gold in the region occurs as two main deposit types including Mesozoic granite-hosted lode-gold deposits and shear zone hosted deposits, both within granite and along granite contacts following northeast trending regional faults.

SPEI ALLIANCE CREATES IMMEDIATE BENEFITS

On February 10, 2005, the Company announced the formation a strategic alliance with SPEI, based in the Shandong Province and a government agency at the Provincial level that currently controls properties of interest in the region. One of the benefits of this alliance was to gain greater access to prospective gold projects in Shandong Province. As a direct result, the Company signed a LOU with SPEI on March 31, 2005 to acquire the three separate gold exploration projects.

The Company and SPEI have agreed to further develop their business relationship by pursuing the development of a Joint Venture enterprise that will focus on the exploration and development of these gold properties in Shandong Province. The Company plans to contribute the required capital for the exploration and development of these properties, while SPEI will transfer the exploration licenses to the new Joint Venture Company.

SPEI, a sate-owned geological and mining engineering group employing over 800 professionals, has extensive knowledge of the Jiadong Peninsula, having previously completed the geological mapping, geophysics and geochemistry. This knowledge has enabled the Company and SPEI to identify the most prospective areas within the region for the acquisition of the exploration licenses.
Shandong Province has a prolific history of mining and currently produces approximately 30% of China’s gold, totaling over 30 tonnes of bullion per annum. The region contains discoveries of many significant gold resources, with over 7 deposits containing in excess of 100 tonnes of gold. Yet, these results have developed from limited exploration and provides the Company with an opportunity of exceptional potential.

“The Company is very pleased with its strategic alliance with SPEI, which has now produced a significant opportunity for the Company to acquire and explore highly prospective land in a region known to host very large gold deposits`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. “The Company will continue to implement its 2005 exploration and development program for its current assets in China, while continuing to work together with SPEI to establish the Joint Venture and finalize the exploration work programs for these gold projects.”.

China Diamond Corp. Completes First Phase of Ground Magnetic Survey Over 703 – Dajingtou Diamond Project
London, Ontario, April 20, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”) (http://www.chinadiamondcorp.com ) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the completion of 24km2 of ground magnetic survey over the 703 – Dajingtou Diamond Exploration Project, Shandong Province, China.

The magnetic survey was designed to identify any “buried” kimberlite bodies not exposed at surface and having the potential to be diamondiferous. The survey was completed over an area where previously three anomalous zones of diamonds and associated diamond indicator minerals were recovered from a year 2000 program of surface stream sampling and slope wash sampling (see January 26, 2005 Press Release).

MAGNETIC SURVEY IDENTIFIES 8 MAGNETIC ANOMALIES

The magnetic survey has successfully identified eight magnetic anomalies at the 703 - Dajingtou Diamond Project. The anomalies, all circular in shape vary in size from several tens of meters to over 200 meters in diameter. The Company believes that these anomalies could represent kimberlite bodies that are known to be the host for diamonds in the region and could be the potential source of the diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals previously recovered from surface sampling.

The Company is continuing to investigate the magnetic anomalies using more detailed ground magnetic surveying and surface trenching, and, once completed, the Company plans to initiate a core drilling program and bulk sampling program to further validate these anomalies.

In addition, the Company has initiated a program of closely spaced soil sampling on a 50m x 100m sampling grid over a congruent area as the recently completed magnetic survey. This phase of the exploration work program is designed to recover any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals that can be used to locate the original kimberlitic source of the diamonds that may not have been detected with the recent magnetic survey. The soil samples will be analyzed at the Company’s recently refurbished laboratory in Linyi.

“The Company is extremely pleased with the results of the magnetic survey that has successfully identified eight magnetic anomalies over a relatively small area of only 24km2 in this highly prospective region” stated Mike Michaud, the Company’s President. “Our exploration field work is progressing well and we are very excited about the potential of this project.”

MICHAEL MICHAUD TO FURTHER DISCUSS MAGNETIC SURVEY THROUGH AUDIO ADDRESS
Given the technical nature of this press release, Mr. Michaud will provide shareholders with an audio address that further discusses and explains these results. The address will be available on the China Diamond Investor Relations Hub at http://www.agoracom.com/ir/chinadiamond on or before Wednesday, April 27, 2005.

China Diamond Corp. Completes Initial Phase of Exploration at the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, Shandong Province, China
London, Ontario, May 2, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”) a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the completion of the initial phase of exploration on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project in Shandong Province, China.

As previously announced in a February 10, 2005 News Release, the Company established a strategic alliance with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute to, amongst other things, conduct mineral exploration over an 18km2 area encompassing the past-producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine in Zouping County, Shandong Province.

The Huixian property is located within the Zouping volcanic belt, located in the centre of the metalogenic belt of China`s southeast coastal area. To date, numerous small- and medium-sized deposits have been discovered in the region and are currently being mined, making it one of the most prospective mineralized regions in Shandong Province. The majority of the gold-copper mineralization in the area of the Huixian project occurs within the Zouping caldera, primarily along circular and radiating structures along the rim of the caldera.

To date, the following has been completed on the property:

• 1:5,000 scale ground magnetic survey designed to better delineate various rock types and geological structures known to control gold-copper mineralization in the region;
• 1:5,000 scale geological mapping;
• Soil geochemistry over 50m x 10m grid to identify zones with anomalous concentrations of gold and copper. In total, 7,951 soil samples have been collected and are now at a laboratory in Jinan, Shandong Province for analysis.

The next phase of the exploration program, which is presently ongoing, consists of

• 1:5,000 scale induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over known zones of mineralization to assess the geophysical signature and subsequently over any geophysical and/or geochemical anomalies;
• Surface stripping and trenching to remove overburden to expose bedrock for geological mapping and sampling;
• Whole rock geochemistry; and
• Core drilling.

“We are very pleased with the quality and the progress of the current exploration program” states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. “The results of the geological mapping, and geophysical and geochemical surveying are designed to identify targets for subsequent detailed surface trenching and bedrock sampling, which we plan to complete within the next several months.``

The planned exploration program, costing an estimated $200,000, will be completed by the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

China Diamond Corp. Formalizes Joint Venture and Commences Exploration on the Dacheng Gold Property in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China London, Ontario, May 4, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has formalized the Joint Venture Agreement with Shandong Dacheng Mining Co. Ltd., (“Dacheng”) to establish a Cooperative Enterprise for mineral exploration on the Dacheng gold exploration property in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China.

The Company signed the Joint Venture Contract on April 27, 2005, which formalizes a previously signed Letter of Intent with Dacheng on April 3, 2005 (see April 11, 2005 news release) to develop a Joint Venture Company that will focus on the exploration of an 11.47 square kilometre gold property in Shandong Province (Exploration License Number 3700000520084, Liu Lian Zhuang Area). Shandong Dacheng Mining Co., Ltd., is a privately owned company based in Jinan, Shandong Province, and currently owns and operates several mines in China. The Company plans to contribute the required capital of US$300,000 for exploration and earn a 60% interest in the joint venture company, while Dacheng will transfer the exploration license to the new Joint Venture Company for a 40% interest in the joint venture company. This agreement is subject to the acceptance for filing with the TSX Venture Exchange.

The exploration license is located within the highly prolific gold producing region of Jiaodong Peninsula that currently produces approximately 30% of China’s gold. This is a region where many significant gold deposits have been discovered with over 7 deposits containing in excess of 100 tonnes of gold.

The property is located in the Zhao-Ye gold belt on the western portion of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Gold in the region occurs as two main deposit types including Mesozoic granite-hosted lode-gold deposits and shear zone hosted deposits, both within granite and along granite contacts following northeast trending regional faults. Previous exploration has consisted of primarily regional geological mapping and geophysical surveying that the Company believes has identified excellent prospectivity of this area. In particular, the license area is located along similar geological structures that are known to host gold mineralization, and where several gold mines operate.

The Company has retained Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) to complete the first phase of the planned exploration program, estimated to cost US$70,000. SPEI, a state-owned geological and mining engineering group employing over 800 professionals, has extensive knowledge of the Jiaodong Peninsula, having previously completed geological mapping and geophysics over this license area.. The Company is very confident in the technical abilities of SPEI, and is impressed with its knowledge of the area. The first phase of the work, now underway, consists of 1:5,000 scale geological mapping, ground magnetic surveying and soil sampling. These exploration techniques are known to be effective exploration tools in the area given the close relationship between gold mineralization with geological structures and granodioritic intrusions. After this phase of exploration is completed, over the next 3 months, the Company will concentrate more detailed exploration, consisting of induced polarization surveys, surface trenching and core drilling over any identified anomalies.

“The Company is very pleased with this latest Joint Venture agreement which formalizes our relationship with Dacheng and allows the Company to immediately commence the first phase of the planned exploration program in a region of Shandong Province known to host very large gold deposits`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. “We are very excited with the potential of this gold property and look forward to receiving the results from the first phase of the exploration program”.

China Diamond Recovers 45.74 Carat Gem Quality Diamond from 701 Mine; Provides Update for 701 Changma Diamond Mine London, Ontario, May 26, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce recent achievements from the 701 Changma Diamond Mine, including the recovery of a 45.74 carat gem quality diamond. The 701 Changma Diamond Mine is China Diamond’s principal mining operation located in Shandong Province in the People’s Republic of China.

MINE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Company is pleased to report that on May 24, 2005, underground mine development at the mine has resulted in the completion of the main decline and the main haulage drift to the 60 Level in the mine, which is the next main haulage level below the 110 Level currently being mined. This development provides the necessary access to ensure continuous supply of kimberlite for processing. Further development activities will now consist of preparing kimberlite for mining on various mine sub-levels between the 110 Level and the 60 Level.

In addition, as part of a larger development program (See December 18, 2004 News Release), the mine will continue to deepen the main decline from the 60 Level to the -40 Level. However, now that the 60 Level is complete, deepening the main decline will have less of a restrictive effect on ore production as previously realized.

Production remains on plan to be at full capacity in September once development of the main decline is completed.

Further, the engineering study regarding a review of production capacity and installation of a DMS and X-ray facility is progressing well.

DIAMOND PRODUCTION

Over the past week, diamond production at the mine has been increasing due to mining a higher grade area of the deposit, namely the Small Pipe, which has been returning grades of approximately 1.0 carat/tonne. This area is expected to be in production for the next two months.

On May 20, 2005, a 45.74 carat gem quality octahedron diamond was recovered at the mine.

“We are very pleased with the progress of the underground mine development that has remained on target to date in 2005”, stated Andrew Bradfield, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and JV Deputy General Manager. “We are very encouraged with the recent production results, and in particular with the recovery of a 45.74 carat gem quality diamond, that indicates the potential of this mine to produce relatively large, good quality stones.”

Mr. Bradfield is one of the Company`s qualified persons for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations. The 701 Changma Diamond Mine continues to mine Mineral Resources as there have been no updates to the 43-101 technical report issued in August 2003. As such, no Mineral Reserves have been outlined on the property, and there is a higher rate of risk associated with a property that is in production without Mineral Reserves.

China Diamond Corp. Signs Joint Venture Agreement and Secures Three Exploration Licenses London, Ontario, June 8, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has signed a the Joint Venture Agreement with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) to acquire the exploration licenses for three gold projects in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China.

The Company signed the Joint Venture contract on June 6, 2005, which formalizes a previously signed Letter Of Intent with SPEI (see April 4, 2005 news release) to develop a Joint Venture Company to explore three gold projects in Jiaodong Peninsula. The Company plans to contribute the required capital of US$1.26 million for exploration over a two year period to earn a 60% interest in the Joint Venture Company, and SPEI will transfer the exploration licenses to the new Joint Venture Company for a 40% interest. This agreement is subject to the acceptance for filing with the TSX Venture Exchange.

The three exploration licenses are located within the Zhao-Ye gold belt on the western portion of the Jiaodong Peninsula and are hereinafter referred to as:

 Xiao Lu Jia Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 22.03 km², EL 3700000410598
 Xia Zhuang Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 9.57 km², EL 3700000410597
 Huang Ni Gou Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 30.27km², EL 3700000410781

SPEI, a state-owned geological and mining engineering group employing over 800 professionals, has extensive knowledge of the Jiaodong Peninsula, having previously completed regional geological mapping, geophysics and geochemistry. This knowledge has enabled the Company and SPEI to identify the most prospective areas within the region for acquisition of the exploration licenses.

Shandong Province has a prolific history of mining and currently produces approximately 30% of China’s gold, totaling over 30 tonnes of bullion per annum. The region contains discoveries of many significant gold resources, with over 7 deposits containing in excess of 100 tonnes of gold (http://www.agoracom.com/images/Image1PR060805.jpg ). Yet, these results have developed from limited exploration, which provides the Company with an opportunity of exceptional potential.

The gold in the region occurs as two main deposit types including Mesozoic granite-hosted lode-gold deposits and shear zone hosted deposits, both within granite and along granite contacts following northeast trending regional faults. The gold mineralization in the region is directly associated with regional magnetic anomalies and regional geologic structures. A compilation of previous regional government geological, geochemical and geophysical data indicates the excellent potential of these gold projects, being located along regional trends where gold mines are located (http://www.agoracom.com/images/Image2PR060805.jpg ).

“The Company is very pleased with this latest Joint Venture agreement with formalizes our relationship with SPEI and allows the Company to commence immediately the first phase of the planned exploration program in a region of Shandong Province known to host very large gold deposits`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. “We are very excited with the potential of this gold property and look forward to receiving the results of the first phase of the exploration program. The Company will continue to implement its 2005 exploration and development program for its current assets in China, while working with SPEI to establish the Joint Venture and finalize the exploration work programs for these gold projects. The funding for the first phase of the exploration program has been secured.”

China Diamond Corp. Announces Successful Results from the First Phase of Exploration Work at the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, Shandong Province, China
London, Ontario, June 13, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”) a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce positive results from the first phase of exploration work completed on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project in Shandong Province, China.

Results of Recent Exploration Work

The Huixian property is located within the Zouping volcanic belt, located in the centre of the metalogenic belt of China`s southeast coastal area. The majority of the gold-copper mineralization in the area of the Huixian project occurs within the Zouping caldera, primarily along circular and radiating structures along the rim of the caldera. The recent exploration work has been completed over an area of 18km2 that covers a strike length of approximately 11km of this favourable geology that hosts the Company’s past producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine. To date, the following exploration work has been completed on the property:

- 1:5,000 scale ground magnetic survey over 18km2;
- 1:5,000 scale geological mapping over 18km2;
- 1:5,000 scale induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over 4km2;
- 7,951 soil samples have been collected, of which approximately 1,000 have been analyzed for gold and copper.

The geophysical surveying, including both the magnetic survey and the IP survey was initiated over the known Huixian mine in order to define a geophysical signature that could be used as a tool for further exploration over other areas of the project. The gold-copper mineralization is typically related to curvi-linear narrow faults and shear zones within altered monzonite that contains predominately barite and chalcopyrite mineralization that accounts for up to 5% of the rock. Given that the mineralized zone is significantly different than the host monzonite rock, the geophysical surveys are considered to be useful exploration tools to identify gold and copper mineralization.

The results of the recently completed ground magnetic survey shows an excellent correlation with the known geology that consists of a package of primarily volcanic and monzonitic intrusive rocks, the latter of which is host to the circular structures known to contain gold and copper mineralization. The magnetic survey has successfully identified the known Huixian mine gold-copper mineralization as well as identified three similar anomalies; one parallel anomaly to the south and two anomalies to the north and northwest, respectively. In addition, the IP survey, used primarily to identify sulfides in the rock such as barite and chalcopyirite, correlates well with the magnetic anomalies, and as such, indicates the excellent potential along these anomalies for hosting gold-copper mineralization. The Company is completing additional IP surveying over these anomalies to better define their strike extent.

Further, the copper and gold assay results received thus far from the soil sampling survey have a good correlation with the magnetic and IP anomalies, again illustrating the potential of this area.

The Company is currently accelerating the next phase of the exploration program, which consists of surface stripping and trenching to remove overburden over the geophysical and geochemical anomalies in order to access the bedrock for rock sampling and analysis. The bedrock sampling is required to assess the gold-copper distribution, and if the results are favourable, a core drilling program will be completed in any anomalous areas.

Restructuring of the Joint Venture Company

As previously announced in a February 10, 2005 News Release, the Company established a strategic alliance with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) to complete the exploration work over this area. In order to maximize the benefits of this strategic alliance, a restructuring plan of the business units controlled by the Company through its controlling interest in the Huixian Joint Venture is underway and is expected to be concluded in due course.

As part of this restructuring, on June 6, 2005, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with SPEI to form a Joint Venture Company to acquire the exploration license over this 18km2 exploration area that is larger than the license area previously held by the Company through its present Joint Venture Company, namely the Shandong Huixian Gold Field Mineral Co. Ltd. As such, the Company has reached an agreement with the current Chinese partner to close down the existing Joint Venture Company and the Chinese partner has agreed to assist and support the new Joint Venture Company to acquire any future exploration licenses, work permits and to transfer all historical data.

“We are very encouraged with the results of the exploration program thus far that has identified a number of areas that represent potential for hosting significant gold and copper mineralization” states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. “In addition, we are very pleased with our continued relationship with SPEI and the support by our former Chinese partner that has enabled us to successfully explore this project.``

The exploration program is being completed by the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations. The Company plans to complete a 43-101 technical report in the near future upon the successful completion of the Company’s planned exploration program.

China Diamond Corp. Commences Drilling on the 703-Dajingtou Diamond Exploration Project
London, Ontario, June 15, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that a core drilling program has commenced on the 703-Dajingtou Diamond Exploration Project (Exploration Number 0100000510086), Shandong Province, China

Based on the successful completion of a recent magnetic survey over the Dajingtou project, in which a total of 8 magnetic anomalies were identified (see April 20, 2005 News Release), the Company has initiated the first phase of a core drilling program to assess these targets. The magnetic anomalies, all circular in shape, vary in size from several tens of meters to over 200 metres in diameter. The Company believes that these anomalies could represent kimberlite bodies that are known to be the host for diamonds in the region and could be the potential source of the diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals previously recovered from surface sampling by the Company in 2000 (see January 26, 2005 Press Release).

The planned drilling program will total approximately 500-1,000 metres with 5-8 drill holes and is being completed by a local Chinese contractor that has been chosen by the Company. The initial drilling program is designed to determine whether the magnetic anomalies represent kimberlite. If kimberlite is intersected in the drilling, core samples will be collected and analyzed at the Company’s refurbished laboratory in Linyi City to determine if the kimberlites are diamondiferous. If this is confirmed, a more extensive drilling and surface bulk sampling program will commence to define the geometry and grade of the kimberlite. The preliminary results are expected within the next 1-2 months.

In addition, the Company is continuing a program of closely spaced soil sampling on a 50m x 100m sampling grid over a congruent area. This phase of the exploration work program is designed to recover any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals that can be used to locate the original kimberlitic source of the diamonds that may not have been detected with the recent magnetic survey. Of the 400 soil samples collected, approximately 100 of these samples have been analyzed. The planned drilling program will be expanded to better define any anomalies identified from the soil sampling program.

In anticipation of analyzing samples from the core drilling program at the 703 project, the Company recently collected, and is now processing, a 2.5 tonne mini-bulk sample of kimberlite from the 702 Diamond Project at the Company’s Linyi City laboratory. This mini-bulk sample will allow the Company to confirm the efficiency and quality of the laboratory analytical process.

“The Company is extremely pleased to now advance the 703 Project to the drilling stage after having successfully identified 8 magnetic anomalies with the potential to be kimberlites” stated Mike Michaud, the Company’s President. “Our exploration field work is progressing well and we are very excited about the potential of this project.”

Investor Bulletin - Friday, June 17, 2005 – Gold Surges Past $438 Per Ounce

Dear China Diamond Shareholder,

In our ongoing efforts to provide broader communications and information, we are pleased to provide you with the following industry update, discussing market conditions for gold.

Current Market
Gold continues its strong showing (currently trading at US$438.40, as of writing), after setting a new seven-week high on Thursday – briefly touching US$441.30/oz. – and testing key resistance levels.

The strong showing has been spurred by fund buying and is supported by investors moving into gold as a hedge against declining currencies. Gold has risen against both the euro and the US$, seemingly shaking loose its traditional inverse relationship with the currencies.

The US$ weakened Friday after data was released showing the US current account deficit had widened more than expected to a record $195.1 billion in the first quarter, exacerbating concerns about the US economy.

“With the negative sentiment towards the euro following the French and Dutch rejections of the EU constitution and the dollar weighed down by the U.S. structural problems of twin deficits, there’s a growing realization that gold and other commodities offer far more stable investment prospects than paper currencies,” said James Moore of TheBullionDesk.com

Gold analysts have said the connection to currencies has become less apparent as European economic growth and unity comes into question and fundamentals point to more demand and less supply, with output by the world’s top three producers – South Africa, the US and Australia – in decline.

Other Markets
Copper has also surged to record highs. Tight supply and concern about shortages on the LME (London Metal Exchange) coupled with moves by fund managers back into the metals markets have resulted in copper’s strong showing. May data out of China showing continuing strong manufacturing growth triggered the gains on the LME. Industrial production in China rose 17% in May on a year-on-year basis.

Led by Copper, prices across the base metals complex, with nickel, aluminum, zinc and lead are all showing gains.

Conclusion
The trend in the mining industries seems to be for the existing large producers to replace their reserves through acquisition, leaving the exploration and discovery of new resources to the junior mining companies. There are many compelling reasons why investors might want to add to their junior gold exploration portfolio. Growing demand and supply imbalances, uncertainty for the financial markets and the political arena globally, the junior sector could provide a golden buying opportunity for the investor.

Progressing with Exploration on the Dacheng Gold Property in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China London, Ontario, June 23, 2005 ¡V China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) (the ¡§Company¡¨) a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the status of ongoing exploration on the Dacheng gold exploration property in Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China.

On May 4, 2005, the Company announced the signing of a Joint Venture Contract with Shandong Dacheng Mining Co. Ltd. to develop a Joint Venture Company that will focus on the exploration of an 11.47 square kilometre gold property in Shandong Province (Exploration License Number 3700000520084, Liu Lian Zhuang Area).

EXPLORATION LICENSE LOCATED WITHIN PROLIFIC GOLD PRODUCING REGION

The exploration license is located within the highly prolific gold producing region of Jiaodong Peninsula that currently produces approximately 30% of China¡¦s gold. This is a region where many significant gold deposits have been discovered, with over 7 deposits containing in excess of 100 tonnes of gold. The property is located in the Zhao-Ye gold belt on the western portion of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Gold in the region occurs as two main deposit types including Mesozoic granite-hosted lode-gold deposits and shear zone hosted deposits, both within granite and along granite contacts following northeast trending regional faults. Previous exploration has primarily consisted of regional geological mapping and geophysical surveying that the Company believes has identified excellent prospectivity of this area. In particular, the license area is located along similar geological structures that are known to host gold mineralization, and where several gold mines operate.

EXPLORATION PROGRAM INITIATED

Since signing the Joint Venture Contract, the Company has initiated an exploration program consisting of 1:5,000 scale geological mapping, ground magnetic surveying and soil sampling. These exploration techniques are known to be effective exploration tools in the area given the close relationship between gold mineralization with geological structures and granodioritic intrusions. To date, the following exploration work has been completed on the property:

- 1:5,000 scale ground magnetic survey over 11km2;
- 1:5,000 scale geological mapping over 11km2;
- In excess of 3,000 soil samples have been collected and have been sent to an independent laboratory in Jinan for analysis.

RESULTS ¡V GROUND MAGNETIC SURVEY

The results of the recently completed ground magnetic survey correlate very well with the known geology that consists of a package of primarily granite, granodiorite and volcanic rocks. In addition, the magnetic survey has successfully identified what the Company believes to be regional and more local associated fault zones that typically host the gold mineralization in the region.

The Company now plans to concentrate on more detailed exploration, consisting of induced polarization (IP) surveys (used to identify sulfides in the rock that are typically associated with gold mineralization), surface trenching and core drilling over the identified fault zones and any other anomalies identified from the IP surveying and soil sampling.

¡§We are very encouraged with not only the results of the exploration program thus far, but also with the progress and quality of the exploration work being completed¡¨ states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. ¡§This is an area the Company believes is highly prospective for gold exploration, and as such, the Company is aggressively completing exploration not only on this project, but the remaining three gold projects controlled by the Company in this area.``

The exploration program is being completed by the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (¡§SPEI¡¨) under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations. The Company plans to complete a 43-101 technical report in the near future upon the successful completion of the Company¡¦s planned exploration program.

China Diamond Corp. Recovers 3 Diamonds and Numerous Kimberlite Indicator Minerals from Soil Samples on the 703-Dajingtou Diamond Exploration Project

London, Ontario, June 28, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that three diamonds have been recovered from soil sampling completed on the 703-Dajingtou Diamond Exploration Project (Exploration License Number 0100000510086), Shandong Province, China.

Soil Sampling Program
In order to aid in the identification of any potential kimberlites on the 703 Project, the Company initiated a soil sampling survey over a 2 square kilometre area immediately adjacent to and down stream from one of the previously defined magnetic anomalies (See April 20, 2005 News Release). The soil sampling is designed to recover any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals that can be used to locate the original kimberlitic source of the diamonds that may not have been detected with the recent magnetic survey.

To date, approximately 400 soil samples have been collected over a 50m x 100m sampling grid. The soil samples, ranging in depth from 1-2 metres, were collected from the lowest soil horizon, adjacent to the bedrock surface. Once collected, the soil samples, each approximately 25 litres in size, are initially separated into three size fractions, specifically -4+2mm, -2+1mm and -1+0.2mm. The heavy mineral fraction of each sample is then concentrated using jigs and heavy liquid concentrate, subsequently followed by hand and microscope sorting to identify any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals.

The sample processing is being completed at the Company’s laboratory in Linyi City. A strict program of quality control has been implemented at the laboratory. This includes such procedures as utilizing glass beads of different sizes and densities to assess diamond recovery.

Of the 400 soil samples collected, approximately 150 of these samples have been analyzed. Three diamonds and in excess of 300 chromite grains (known to be a common constituent of the kimberlites in the region) have been recovered thus far. The three diamonds range in size from 0.2mm to 1mm in size (long axis dimension) and range in colour from yellowish to clear with variable amounts of inclusions. Of some significance is the fact that the diamonds, as well as the chromite grains, are very angular and maintain their original crystal shape. This suggests the diamonds have been eroded but not transported great distances before deposition, and should therefore be located relatively close to the kimberlitic source. Otherwise, the diamonds and chromite grains would be considerably more rounded in shape.

Core Drilling Program
In order to assess the 8 magnetic anomalies previously identified on the property (see April 20, 2005 News Release), the Company initiated the first phase of a core drilling program on June 15, 2005. The core drilling program is progressing well and the preliminary results from the first hole will be announced shortly. However, in order to expedite drilling results on the 703 Project, a second drill is being mobilized to the site and is expected to start drilling in the next week.

“Once again, the Company is extremely pleased with the progress of the exploration work being completed on the 703 Project. The results of the soil sampling survey continue to indicate the excellent potential of this Project for hosting a kimberlite pipe” stated Mike Michaud, the Company’s President. “We are very eager to continue exploration on this project, and as such, have been expediting various aspects of the work, including the core drilling program that is now underway.”

China Diamond Corp. Completes 2.5 Tonne Mini-Bulk Sample at the 702 Diamond Exploration Project, Shandong Province, China.

London, Ontario, July 11, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the completion of a mini-bulk sample at the 702 diamond exploration project, Shandong Province, China.

The 702 Project is an advanced diamond exploration project where previous exploration in the area has identified at least 32 diamondiferous kimberlite bodies. Of the 32 diamondiferous kimberlite bodies, there are 9 major diamond bearing kimberlite bodies and pipes that form a cluster within the area of the current exploration license. The current Mineral Resources for the 702 Property as of November 1, 2003 (see SRK Technical Report) are estimated at Measured and Indicated resources totalling approximately 9.7 million tonnes grading 0.055 carats/tonne, and Inferred Resources totaling approximately 27.7 million tonnes grading 0.12 carats/tonne (based on a 1.0mm stone size lower cutoff). However, given that valuations of diamonds collected from previous bulk samples were completed in the early 1970’s and mid 1980’s by the 7th Geological Brigade, the Chinese Partner on the 702 Project, the Company considers it prudent to collect another bulk sample in order to verify the diamond characteristics, current values, and size distribution prior to finalizing a feasibility study. This verification work was also recommended in the SRK Technical Report.

As such, a 2.5 tonne mini-bulk sample was collected in order to not only assess the rock qualities prior to finalizing the selection of the appropriate bulk sampling processing equipment, but also to “fine-tune” the recently refurbished Linyi City laboratory. In June, 2005, the Company collected a 2.5 tonne mini-bulk sample of kimberlite from surface outcrop of Pipe 6, one of the 9 pipes in the kimberlite cluster. The kimberlite sample was processed at the Company’s Linyi City laboratory, which includes all facilities for crushing the kimberlite and recovering the diamonds through a series of processing equipment using jigs and X-ray sorting equipment, and finally using hand and microscope sorting.

The 2.5 tonne mini-bulk sample recovered 74 diamonds, all less than 2.0mm in size, using a final square sorting sieve of 0.2mm, weighing a total of 12.8 milligrams. However, the small sample of 2.5 tonnes is not considered representative, and in addition, did not recover any large diamonds (i.e diamonds greater than 2.0mm) that would have significantly increased the actual grade of the sample. However, the sample does provide a glance at the diamond quality including shape and colour, and it appears at this time to confirm that gem quality, colourless diamonds do exist within Pipe 6, as per those previously recovered from bulk sampling on the property by the 7th Geological Brigade. The Company is currently investigating the most optimal method of collecting a much larger bulk sample of several of the kimberlite pipes in the cluster to recover a sufficient amount of diamonds to confidently estimate the diamond value by pipe. Photographs of the diamonds recovered from the mini-bulk sample will be posted on the Company’s website within the next several days.

In addition, the mini-bulk sample has been successful in “fine-tuning” the Company’s Linyi laboratory and establishing the relevant quality control and quality assurance procedures, including such procedures as “diamond spiking” (inserting known diamonds into the sample to test whether they are properly recovered), and insertion of various sized and density balls into the sample to assess diamond recovery. This was done in anticipation of processing samples from the Company’s 703 (and other) projects in the near future.

“The Company is pleased to have a preliminary indication of the diamond quality from the 702 Project, and looks forward to collecting a much larger sample to verify diamond size distribution and value prior to conducting further engineering studies” stated Mike Michaud, the Company’s President.

China Diamond Corp. Announces 108% Increase In Production From 701 Changma Diamond Mine In 2nd Quarter

London, Ontario, July 13, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in mining for diamonds, and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce a 108% increase in production results from the 701 Changma Diamond Mine in the second quarter. The 701 Changma Diamond Mine is the Company’s principal mining operation located in Shandong Province in the People’s Republic of China.

2005 PRODUCTION RESULTS TO THE END OF JUNE

Month Tonnes Processed Grade carats/tonne Carats Produced
January 9,642 0.52 5,000.25
February 5,233 0.42 2,175.25
March 3,699 0.56 2,065.00
1st Quarter Subtotal 18,574 0.50 9,240.50
April 7,655 0.48 3,705.74
May 7,593 0.61 4,605.56
June 8,879 1.23 10,909.90
2nd Quarter Subtotal 24,127 0.80 19,221.20
Jan-June, 2005 42,701 0.67 28,461.70

JUNE DIAMOND PRODUCTION

For the production month June, 2005, diamond production totaled 10,909.9 carats at a 1.0mm bottom size cutoff. Operations were carried out in a higher grade area of the deposit, namely the Small Pipe, which returned an average monthly grade of 1.23 carats/tonne. This area is expected to continue to be in production for half of July and most of August.

The Company is pleased to report that production increased in June following completion of the main haulage drift on the 60 Level in the mine, and development of the main decline to a position below the 60 Level. This has partially lifted the restriction on transporting kimberlite to surface, resulting in increased tonnage to the processing plant in June. Additionally, mining in June was carried out in the higher grade Small Pipe, resulting in a substantial increase in diamond production.

ONGOING MINE DEVELOPMENT
Further mine development activities will now consist of preparing kimberlite for mining on various mine sub-levels between the 110 Level and the 60 Level. This development provides the necessary access to ensure a continuous supply of kimberlite for processing. The mine continues to deepen the main decline, from its current position below the 60 Level, to the -40 Level.

Shareholders will be pleased to know that production remains on schedule to be at full capacity in September once development of the main decline is completed. In addition, the engineering study regarding a review of production capacity and installation of a DMS and X-ray facility is continuing.

“We are very pleased that underground mine development has remained on target and now has less of a restrictive affect on production”, stated Andrew Bradfield, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and JV Deputy General Manager. “Recent production results have been very encouraging. Mine development has been proceeding exceptionally, and we are now in the final ramp-up stage towards full production.”

China Diamond Corp. Discovers Four Anomalous Zones on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, Shandong Province, China

London, Ontario CANADA, July 19, 2005 - China Diamond Corp. (CDC - TSX Venture), a revenue generating mining and exploration company focused on mining for diamonds, as well as, the further exploration of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that extensive exploration over the past five months has identified four anomalous zones on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project (``Huixian Project``) in Shandong Province, China.

The Company has now completed the first phase of exploration at the Huixian Project that included ground geophysical surveying, geological mapping and the collection and analysis of over 8,000 soil samples (See June 13, 2005 news release). The exploration work was completed over an area of 18km2 that includes the Company`s past producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine (``Huixian Mine``).

MAJOR SIMILARITIES TO PAST PRODUCING MINE

The recent exploration has identified four anomalous zones that not only have corresponding magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical signatures (Induced Polarization), but also have similar host rock geology and corresponding gold and copper anomalies as identified by the over 8,000 soil samples. In addition, the corresponding geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies are similar in character and proximal to that of the Company`s past producing Huixian Mine. The identification of these four anomalous zones, all similar to that of the Huixian Mine, where previous gold and copper have been recovered from mining, indicates the excellent potential of this property and the recent success of the Company`s exploration efforts.

GREATER LENGTH AND BETTER DEFINITION THAN PAST PRODUCING HUIXIAN MINE INDICATES EXCELLENT POTENTIAL

Three of the four anomalous zones are located to the northwest of the Huixian Mine mineralization and one is to the south. These zones have an apparent northwest-southeast trend, again similar to that of the known mineralization at the Huixian Mine. The anomalous zones located to the northwest of the Huixian Mine are up to 500 metres in length, while the anomaly to the south of the Huixian Mine is in excess of 1,000 metres in length. In fact, the anomalous zone to the south is more obvious, greater in length and much better defined by the recent exploration than the past producing Huixian Mine, indicating the excellent potential of this zone.

The Company is currently completing an extensive program of surface stripping and trenching to remove overburden over the geophysical and geochemical anomalies in order to access the bedrock for rock sampling and analysis. The Company expects to complete this phase of the program in August 2005. In addition, the Company and its Chinese partner, Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (``SPEI``), are currently working to secure the necessary permits for core drilling that are envisioned for this project along with the successful completion of the surface trenching program.

The finalized data and various maps from the recent exploration work will be posted on the Company`s website at www.chinadiamondcorp.com.within the next several days.

``We are very pleased with our continued exploration on the Huixian Project that has resulted in the discovery of four anomalous zones, all proximal to and having the potential to host significant gold and copper mineralization similar to the Company`s past producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. ``In addition, we are very pleased with the exploration progress on all of the Company`s projects where we believe, as with the Huixian Project, that concentrated exploration and a thorough understanding of the local geology and mineralization provide the Company with a better opportunity to identify potential mineral deposits.``

China Diamond Renames Gold Projects

London, Ontario, August 8, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”) a company engaged in exploration and advancement of mining projects in China, is pleased to announce that it has renamed its gold projects in the Jiaodong Peninsula to more easily identify them for reporting purposes.

ADOPTION OF THE “8” SERIES

Currently, China Diamond’s diamond projects all have a “7” series number used in their identification. In keeping with that system of identification the Company has assigned an “8” series project number to the properties in the Jiaodong Peninsula. The change was considered necessary as it will facilitate easier identification of the various gold projects.

The gold properties will hereby be renamed as follows:

• The 801, formerly the Xiao Lu Jia Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 22.03 km², EL 3700000410598
• The 802, formerly the Xia Zhuang Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 9.57 km², EL 3700000410597
• The 803, formerly the Huang Ni Gou Project, Laizhou City, Shandong Province; 30.27 km², EL 3700000410781
• The 804, formerly the Liu Lian Zhuang Project, Shandong Province; 11.47 km², EL 3700000520084

All of these projects are in Shandong Province which has a prolific history of mining and currently produces approximately 30% of China’s gold, totaling over 30 tonnes of bullion per annum. The region contains discoveries of many significant gold resources, with over 7 deposits containing in excess of 100 tonnes of gold. To date, these results have developed from limited exploration and provide the Company with an array of projects that have exceptional potential.

China Diamond Chairman and CEO, Mr. Sam Halbouni states, “We found it necessary to rename the projects and to continue with our corporate mandate to easily identify the properties for future exploration announcements and results.” Mr. Halbouni added, “The Company is pleased with these projects and we clearly believe that our involvement in the Shandong Province will continue to grow and create significant value for our shareholder base.”

The Huixian Gold-Copper Project will not be renamed and will stand alone in the company’s portfolio of projects.

China Diamond Corp. Recovers 6 Diamonds and Numerous Kimberlite Indicator Minerals From Completed Soil Sampling Program on the 703 Diamond Exploration

London, Ontario, August 16, 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the completion of the soil sampling program on the 703 Diamond Exploration Project, as well as, the successful recovery of 6 diamonds and numerous indicator minerals.

SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAM
In order to aid in the identification of any potential kimberlites on the 703 Project, the Company initiated a soil sampling survey over a 2 square kilometre area. The soil sampling is designed to recover any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals that can be used to locate the original kimberlitic source of the diamonds that may not have been detected with the recent magnetic survey.

To date, 400 soil samples have been collected over a 50m x 100m sampling grid. The soil samples, ranging in depth from 1-2 metres, were collected from the lowest soil horizon, adjacent to the bedrock surface. Once collected, the soil samples, each approximately 25 litres in size, are initially separated into three size fractions, specifically -4+2mm, -2+1mm and -1+0.2mm. The heavy mineral fraction of each sample is then concentrated using jigs and heavy liquid concentrate, subsequently followed by hand and microscope sorting to identify any diamonds and/or kimberlite indicator minerals.

The sample processing is being completed at the Company’s laboratory in Linyi City. A strict program of quality control has been implemented at the laboratory. This includes such procedures as utilizing glass beads of different sizes and densities to assess diamond recovery.

SIGNIFICANCE OF RECOVERED DIAMONDS
Of the 400 soil samples collected, 6 diamonds, 1,191 chromite grains, 2 chrome diopside grains and 2 pyrope garnet grains have been recovered (all known to be a common constituent of the kimberlites in the region). The 6 diamonds range in size from 0.2mm to 2mm in size (long axis dimension) and range in colour from primarily clear to yellowish with variable amounts of inclusions. Of some significance is the fact that the diamonds, as well as the chromite grains, are very angular and maintain their original crystal shape. This suggests that the diamonds have been eroded but not transported great distances before deposition, and should therefore be located relatively close to their kimberlitic source. Otherwise, the diamonds and chromite grains would be considerably more rounded in shape.

In addition, the results of the recent soil sampling clearly show a good correlation between the distribution of the diamonds and the chromite indicator minerals that are concentrated along drainage patterns on the western portion of the 2km2 survey area. This concentration of diamonds and indicator minerals is immediately adjacent to and east of a magnetic geophysical anomaly, namely A1, which the Company believes has the potential to be the kimberlitic source of these diamonds.

The pictures of the recently recovered diamonds and compilation map showing the portion of the 703 property where the recent exploration has been focused are posted on the Company’s website at www.chinadiamondcorp.com.

CORE DRILLING PROGRAM
In order to assess the 8 magnetic anomalies previously identified on the property (see April 20, 2005 News Release) and identify the source of the diamonds and indicator minerals recovered from surface stream sediment and soil sampling, the Company initiated the first phase of a core drilling program in mid-June, 2005.

The core drilling program is continuing as scheduled, and at present, the Company is drilling the sixth drill hole on the 703 project. In order to confirm the results of the drill core recovered from the initial five holes, the Company has sent various samples of the core to the Company’s laboratory in Linyi for analysis. The initial results of the core drilling and the sample analysis are expected to be completed in September.

NEWS - China Diamond Corp. Files Updated Technical Report For The 703 Diamond Exploration Project Illustrating Exploration Pote

London, Ontario CANADA, August 22, 2005 /FSC/ - China Diamond Corp. (CDC - TSX Venture), (``the Company``), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce it has filed an updated technical report for the 703 Diamond Project, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.

The technical report has been completed by Paterson, Grant and Watson Limited (``PGW``), a highly reputable geology consulting firm located in Toronto, Canada. Jim Misener of PGW visited the Company`s diamond and gold exploration properties in the Shandong Province, China, in late July 2005, and has now completed the first of a series of technical reports being prepared for the Company`s Projects.

Preparation of the remaining technical reports for the Company`s Huixian Gold-Copper Project and the newly acquired gold projects in the Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China (the SPEI Joint Venture Project (801, 802 and 803) and the Dacheng Joint Venture Project (804)) are on schedule and expected to be completed by the end of August 2005.

CONFIRMATION OF RESULTS

The independent technical report prepared by PGW for the Company`s 703 Diamond Project provides an updated, detailed description of the recent exploration work on the project and confirms the results of previously reported exploration and the potential of the 703 property. The exploration work has been continuous since mid-2004 and is being completed under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, P. Geo., the Company`s President and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. A summary of the significant results outlined in the report are as follows:

- Magnetic surveying has identified 8 magnetic anomalies, all with a circular magnetic signature having the potential to be kimberlite bodies, the known host for diamond deposits in the region;

- Magnetic anomalies are located in many instances immediately adjacent to and upstream/upslope from diamonds and/or indicator minerals previously recovered from surface stream sediment sampling;

- Mineral chemistry of the numerous chromite indicator minerals recovered from soil sampling are similar in composition to those of the Company`s neighbouring 50% owned 701 Changma Mine (701) and 702 diamond project (702);
- Abrasion analysis of the collected mineral grains suggest the source of the diamonds to be very proximal;

- Soil sampling recently recovered 6 diamonds and numerous kimberite indicator minerals over a relatively small area of only 2km2 immediately down slope and adjacent to a known magnetic anomaly; and

- Based on the Company`s experience and knowledge with diamond distribution in soil samples for the 701 and 702 kimberlites, diamonds recovered from soil samples are known to occur very close to their original kimberlite source.

The Company has been conducting a core-drilling program since mid-June 2005 and, as the exploration work was on-going at the time of the report, the results were not incorporated.

ADDITIONAL DRILLING RECOMMENDED

PGW recommends that additional detailed exploration be completed to better assess the known exploration targets defined by the geophysical and geochemical surveys and to continue the current core drilling program. In addition, given the excellent prospectivity of this region, it is recommended that the area presently being explored be expanded over the remainder of the property to identify any additional targets. Magnetic surveying and soil sampling, known to be effective exploration techniques in this environment given the recent exploration successes, is planned to be completed over the remaining portion of the property. Further, not only does the Dajingtou license (the recent focus of exploration) have excellent potential, regionally this area is also considered very prospective given the known regional trend of kimberlite deposits in this area. In addition, over 30 years of stream and soil sampling results have recovered a number of diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals that illustrate specific areas holding the greatest potential.

ADDITIONAL EXPLORATION LICENSES RECOMMENDED

Finally, the technical report also supports the Company`s decision to acquire additional exploration licenses in the area having as good, or better, potential than was previously known at the Dajingtou property. Currently, 5 additional exploration license applications have been submitted and are now at various stages of approval at the Provincial and Federal government level.

The complete updated technical report on the 703 property prepared by PGW can be viewed at the Company`s website at www.chinadiamondcorp.com or at SEDAR.

China Diamond Corp. Files Updated Technical Report on its Huixian Gold-Copper Project Confirming the Exploration Potential


London, Ontario, August 31 , 2005 - China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) - ("the Company"), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has filed an updated technical report for the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards .

As indicated in our Press Release dated July 21, 2005, the Company has retained Paterson, Grant and Watson Limited ("PGW"), a highly reputable geology consulting firm located in Toronto, Canada to update and complete technical reports of its projects in China to National Instrument 43-101 standards. Jim Misener of PGW visited the Company`s diamond and gold exploration properties in the Shandong Province, China in late July 2005, and has now completed a second technical report, specifically the Huixian Gold-Copper Project, in a series of technical reports being prepared for the Company`s projects. The preparation of the remaining technical reports for the Company`s newly acquired gold projects (801, 802, 803 and 804) in the Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province are on schedule and expected to be completed by early- to mid-September 2005. For a snapshot overview of the status of each of the Company`s projects, investors are asked to visit http://www.agoracom.com/images/CDC%20-%20ProjectStatus2005-0…

CONFIRMATION OF COMPANY`S RESULTS

The independent technical report prepared by PGW for the Company`s Huixian Gold-Copper Project provides an updated, detailed description of the recent exploration work on the project and confirms the results of the previously reported exploration, as well as, the potential of the Company`s exploration interest in the 18km2 property in Zouping County, Shandong Province, China. The Zouping volcanic belt, host to the Huixian Project, is located within a district where numerous small- and medium-sized gold and copper deposits have been discovered and are currently being mined, making it one of the most prospective mineralized regions in Shandong Province.

The recent exploration work has been progressing continuously since early 2005 and is being completed under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, P. Geo., the Company`s President and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Recent exploration has consisted of the following:

Ø 1:5,000 scale ground magnetic survey over the entire 18km2 area;

Ø 1:5,000 scale geological mapping over the entire 18km2 area;

Ø 1:5,000 scale induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over a targeted 4km2 area;

Ø 1:5,000 scale soil sampling that has collected in excess of 7,951 samples that have been analyzed for gold, copper, lead, silver and zinc; and

Ø I nitial surface trenching.



DISCOVERY OF 4 NEW ANOMALOUS ZONES

Based on the positive results of these geophysical and geochemical exploration programs, the Company successfully discovered four new anomalous zones located to the northwest and to the south of the Huixian mine ("Mine"), all of which have similar characteristics to that of the gold-copper mineralization at the Mine. The mineralized zones in the northwest are up to 500m in length, while the zone to the south is in excess of 1,000m in length. In fact, the anomalous zone to the south is more obvious, greater in length and much better defined by the recent exploration than the past producing Huixian mine, indicating the excellent potential of this zone. Given the positive exploration results, the Company initiated an extensive surface trenching and stripping program over the previously defined anomalous zones. Although only preliminary at this stage, the surface trenching has identified significant quartz veining with associated alteration and sulfide mineralization, similar to that of the Huixian Mine, in all four of the anomalous zones. The Company believes that with further work, the newly discovered zones have excellent potential to add to the current mineral resource base. As the trenching progresses, results of the trench sampling will be released.


INDEPENDENT REPORT RECOGNIZES EXCELLENT POTENTIAL

PGW recognizes the excellent potential of this property to host significant gold and copper mineralization similar to that of the past producing Mine, and as such, PGW recommends that the Company continue its exploration efforts to both better define these recently discovered mineralized zones, as well as, identify new zones on the property that may remain undiscovered, particularly given that exploration has only been completed over a portion of the project.

In addition, PGW also recommends that a modest core drilling program of at least 5,000m be initiated in order to assess the down dip characteristics of the gold and copper mineralization intersected in the trenches, particularly in light of the fact that surface trenches, because of oxidization, often underestimate the gold and copper values, as seen very clearly from historic sampling at the Huixian mine.

China Diamond Corp. Files Technical Report on its 801, 802 and 803 Gold Projects in JiaodongPeninsula Confirming Exploration Potential


London , Ontario, September 13, 2005 - China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) - ("the

Company"), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has filed the first technical report on its gold properties in the Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.



The gold exploration properties, namely the 801, 802 and 803 Projects ("SPEI Projects") are held under a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture with the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute ("SPEI"), where the Company has a 60% ownership interest. SPEI is a state-owned geological and mining engineering group employing over 800 professionals, and has extensive knowledge of the JiaodongPeninsula, having previously completed regional geological mapping, geophysics and geochemistry.



As indicated in our Press Release dated July 21, 2005, the Company has retained Paterson, Grant and Watson Limited ("PGW"), a highly reputable geology-consulting firm located in Toronto, Canada to update and complete technical reports of its projects in China to National Instrument 43-101 standards. Jim Misener of PGW visited the Company`s diamond and gold exploration properties in the Shandong Province, China in late July 2005, and has now completed a technical report on the SPEI Projects, one of the series of technical reports being prepared for the Company`s diamond and gold projects. The preparation of the remaining technical report for the Company`s 60% owned joint venture with Dacheng Mining Co. Ltd. (Project 804), also in the JiaodongPeninsula, is expected to be completed shortly.



CONFIRMATION OF EXPLORATION POTENTIAL OF THE PROPERTIES



The independent technical report concludes that all exploration properties, held under three exploration licenses, have excellent potential. These properties contain similar geology to known gold mineralization in the area. A compilation of previous regional government geological, geochemical and geophysical data indicates the excellent potential of these gold projects, being located along regional trends where several gold mines are located.



Since acquiring the Projects earlier in 2005, the Company initiated an aggressive exploration program consisting of geologic mapping and ground magnetic surveying, and to date has completed this work on the first of the three properties, namely 802. Although preliminary in nature, the surface geological mapping has identified over 20 distinct alteration zones, all similar in character to the geology and alteration that is known to host gold mineralization in the region. Preliminary rock sampling results have returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals indicating the excellent potential of these zones to host significant concentrations of gold. The geology and style of mineralization discovered to date is very similar in nature to that of the recently discovered Xie Jia Gou gold mine, which was discovered in 2002, and already has a Mineral Resource in excess of one million ounces of gold. The 802 Property is located approximately 7km along strike and to the south of the Xie Jia Gou gold mine.



In addition, the results of the recent ground magnetic survey are in agreement with the known geology and support the existence of the numerous northeast trending alteration zones that typically occur as magnetic lows. More importantly, the results show the existence of a large magnetic high in the central portion of the license area that is believed to be a "buried" (i.e. not outcropping at surface) late-stage granodiorite, which is known to be an integral part of the development of a gold deposit in this region. Typically, the gold mineralization is located at the contact between the magnetic high and a magnetic low, representing alteration. In fact, the area on the east side of the property is a good example of this scenario and to date, a number of anomalous rock samples have been recovered from this area, thus illustrating the excellent potential of this zone.



INDEPENDENT REPORT RECOMMENDS EXTENSIVE REGIONAL EXPLORATION PROGRAM



The independent technical report recommends that further exploration programs be focused on both better defining these recently discovered mineralized zones, and also, to identify new zones that may remain undiscovered on the property given that the exploration has now only been completed over a portion of the Projects.



The report also recommends that the current geological mapping and magnetic surveying program be extended beyond the 802 Property area, to cover the entire Project. Once completed, the Company should initiate a more detailed structural geology-mapping program to identify geological structures, as well as a detailed Induced Polarization ("IP") survey over the known alteration/mineralized zones as defined by the geology and magnetic surveys. The IP survey will provide an opportunity to locate potential gold and/or base metal mineralization both along strike and at depth on these zones. Subsequently, a program of surface trenching and/or core drilling will be required to assess these targets.


"The Company is very pleased with the completion of the technical report for the SPEI Projects that not only clearly outlines the exploration potential of the Company`s projects, but also the entire region, where a number of very large mines have been discovered`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. "We are very excited with the encouraging exploration results received to date and look forward to continued success on this, and our other, gold projects in this highly prolific gold producing region of China".

2005-09-20, China Diamond Corp. Receives Initial Assays from Trench Sampling on its Huixian Gold-Copper Project, China

London, Ontario, September 20 , 2005 – China Diamond Corp. , (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has received significant gold and copper assays from initial rock sampling of the trenches across the recently discovered mineralized zones on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project .
The Company recently announced that recent exploration had identified four anomalous zones that not only have corresponding magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical signatures (Induced Polarization), but also have similar host rock geology and corresponding gold and copper anomalies as identified by over 8,000 soil samples. In addition, the corresponding geological, geochemical and geophysical anomalies are similar in character and proximal to that of the Company`s past producing Huixian Mine (see July 18, 2005 News Release).

Based on these results, t he Company initiated an extensive program of surface stripping and trenching to remove overburden over the geophysical and geochemical anomalies in order to access the bedrock for rock sampling and analysis. To date, 13 surface trenches, measuring approximately 2m deep, 1m wide and approximately 20m long have been completed across the recently discovered anomalous zones. The surface trenching was completed to expose the potential gold-copper mineralization at each of the newly discovered zones as well as along strike from the past producing Huixian Mine.

To date, assays from 1m rock chip samples collected in a continuous string across the mineralized zones from the first four trenches have been returned. The first four trenches completed are located approximately 125m immediately north of the mineralized zone hosting the Huixian Mine mineralization, and as such, represents a new mineralized zone not previously known. The surface trenching has identified significant quartz veining with associated alteration and sulfide mineralization, similar to that of the Huixian Mine, in all four of the trenches. The quartz veins contain typically up to 10% sulfide mineralization consisting primarily of pyrite and chalcopyrite and malachite. However, many of the sulfides occur as a rusty-coloured zone due to the extensive surface weathering and oxidation.

The initial results show several characteristics of the mineralization, first that the mineralization has excellent continuity having been identified in the first four trenches that cover a strike length of approximately 200 metres. Second, the assays results returned several very significant assay results with elevated concentrations of both gold and copper mineralization (Table 1). In addition, a number of surface grab rock samples (samples randomly collected from the surface outcrop) returned significant assays, the highest grade returning 3.43 grams per tonne gold (g/t) and 3.51% copper.

The Company considers these initial assay results to be very significant, particularly given that based on our experience from the Huixian Mine, where the surface samples , because of weathering and oxidization that have leached out the gold and copper, often underestimate the concentration of gold and copper.

In addition, the elevated concentrations of gold and copper from the trench samples verify the results of the previous exploration techniques, including, geophysics and soil sampling that can now be used as a tool to conduct further exploration on the property that, in the Company`s opinion, remains relatively under-explored.

The Company is awaiting the return of assays from the additional trench rock sampling that has been completed and plans to release these results when available. Once received, the Company will plan the next stage of exploration work to better define and assess the potential of these recently discovered mineralized zones. The Company believes that with further work, the newly discovered zones have excellent potential to add to the current mineral resource base.

“We are very pleased with our continued exploration on the Huixian Project that has resulted in the discovery of four anomalous zones of gold and copper mineralization and where initial rock trench sampling has returned significant assay results from gold-copper mineralization having excellent continuity, similar to the Company`s past producing Huixian Gold-Copper Mine ” states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond Corp. “In addition, we are excited about the return of assays from ongoing trench sampling that, if positive, have an excellent potential to add to the current resource base.``

The trench rock samples have been analyzed at SPEI`s laboratory in Jinan where an extensive QA/QC (quality assurance and quality control) program consisting of sample standards and sample duplicates ensure the reliability of the data. This quality assurance program was reviewed and signed-off by Paterson, Grant and Watson Limited (PGW), an independent geology consulting firm based in Toronto , engaged by the Company to update the technical report on the Huixian Gold-Copper Project. The exploration program is being completed by the Shandong Physical Exploration Institute (“SPEI”) under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

Report on its 804 Dacheng Gold Project in JiaodongPeninsula Confirming Exploration Potential

London , Ontario, September 27, 2005 - China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC)("the Company"), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has filed the final technical report on its gold properties in the Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province, China, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 standards.

The Dacheng 804 Gold exploration property ("Property") is held under a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture with Shandong Dacheng Mining Co. Ltd., ("Dacheng"), where the Company has a 60% ownership interest. Dacheng is a privately owned company based in Jinan, Shandong Province, and currently owns and operates several mines in China. The Company has also retained Shandong Physical Exploration Institute ("SPEI") to complete the first phase of the planned exploration program. SPEI, a state-owned geological and mining engineering group employing over 800 professionals, has extensive knowledge of the Jiaodong Peninsula, having previously completed geological mapping and geophysics over this license area.

As indicated in our Press Release dated July 21, 2005, the Company has retained Paterson, Grant and Watson Limited ("PGW"), a highly reputable geology-consulting firm located in Toronto, Canada to update and complete technical reports of its projects in China to National Instrument 43-101 standards. Jim Misener of PGW visited the Company`s diamond and gold exploration properties in the Shandong Province, China in late July 2005, and has now completed the final technical report on the Dacheng 804 Project, one of a series of technical reports being prepared for the Company`s diamond and gold projects.

CONFIRMATION OF EXPLORATION POTENTIAL OF THE PROPERTY

Similar to the technical report issued by PGW on September 12, 2005 for the Company`s 801, 802 and 803 gold exploration projects joint ventured with SPEI in the JiaodongPeninsula, the independent technical report concludes that the 804 Property has excellent exploration potential. The Property contains similar geology to known gold mineralization in the area. A compilation of previous regional government geological, geochemical and geophysical data indicates the superb potential of the Project, being located along regional trends where several gold mines are located.

Since acquiring the Project earlier in 2005, the Company initiated an aggressive exploration program consisting of geologic mapping and ground magnetic surveying, and to date has completed the following exploration work on the Property:

. 1:5,000 scale ground magnetic survey over 11.5km2;

. 1:5,000 scale geological mapping over 11.5km2;

. In excess of 8,000 soil samples have been collected, of which 4,000 soil samples have been assayed.

Although preliminary in nature, the surface geological mapping has identified 5 distinct north and northeast trending alteration zones, all similar in character to the geology and alteration that is known to host gold mineralization in the region. Preliminary rock sampling results have returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals, indicating the excellent potential of these zones to host significant concentrations of gold. The geology and style of mineralization discovered to date is very similar in nature to that of the neighbouring Xiadian and Yin Que Shan gold deposits, both located within approximately 5km. The Xiadian gold mine has a Mineral Resource in excess of 6 tonnes of gold, while underground exploration at the Yin Que Shan gold deposit, located 2km to the north along strike from the 804 Project, is continuing.

The results of the recently completed ground magnetic survey correlate very well with the known geology that consists of a package of primarily granite, granodiorite and volcanic rocks. In addition, the magnetic survey has successfully identified what the Company believes to be regional and more local associated fault zones that typically host the gold mineralization in the region. These alteration zones, having several orientations from north to north-east trending, typically occur as magnetic lows.

In addition, soil sampling results so far support the excellent potential of the property indicated by the results of the geologic mapping and ground magnetic survey, and both the silver and copper values from the soil samples are in agreement with the location of the alteration zones. In addition, several other areas with anomalous copper and silver values have been identified where no previous zones have been discovered and as such represent further potential and where more detailed exploration work is required.

INDEPENDENT REPORT RECOMMENDS FURTHER EXPLORATION PROGRAMS TO DEFINE DISCOVERED MINERALIZED ZONES

The technical report recognizes the potential of this Property to host significant gold similar to that of the recently discovered Xiadian gold deposit, and recommends that further exploration work should be carried out to both better define these recently discovered mineralized zones, and also, to identify new zones that may remain undiscovered on the property. In addition, the report recommends a more detailed program of structural geology mapping, as well as a detailed Induced Polarization ("IP") survey to be used to identify sulphide mineralization in the rocks over the known alteration/mineralized zones as defined by the geology and magnetic surveys. The IP survey will provide an opportunity to locate potential gold and/or base metal mineralization both along strike and at depth on these zones. If warranted, a program of surface trenching and/or core drilling will follow to assess any identified targets.

"The Company is very pleased with the completion of the technical report for the Dacheng 804 Project that not only clearly outlines the exploration potential of the property, but also the entire region, where we have just acquired 11 additional exploration properties in the region`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. "We are very excited with the encouraging exploration results received to date and look forward to continued success on this, and our other, gold projects in this highly prolific gold producing region of China".

China Diamond Press Release - Oct. 12, 2005
China Diamond Corp. Receives Encouraging Drill Results at the 703 Diamond Exploration Project and Expands Drilling Program .
London, Ontario, October 12 , 2005 - China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) - ("the Company"), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce that it has received encouraging results from the initial drilling on the 703 Diamond Exploration Project, Shandong Province, China .


Ground magnetic surveying and soil sampling completed over the past 10 months on the 703 Project have identified 8 anomalies warranting further exploration that has consisted of surface bulk sampling and core drilling. As such, in July of this year, a modest core drilling program of 1,000 metres commenced.


The most encouraging results have come from drilling on the Dajingtou anomaly, namely A1. This is the area where previous detailed soil sampling recovered 6 diamonds and over 1,200 kimberlite indicator minerals immediately down slope from a strong, circular magnetic anomaly. To date, two holes have been drilled into this area and thus far have intersected volcanic breccia that is believed to have formed at great depth and explosively erupted on surface. The pathway through the earth along which this lava flowed is thought to be the same geologic structure that would allow a kimberlite body to travel to surface.


In order to assess the potential of this area, the Company processed the core to recover any diamonds and or indicator minerals that would validate the potential of this area for hosting a diamondiferous kimberlite that would explain the very anomalous concentration of diamonds recovered from the soil sampling. Processing of the core recovered several pyrope garnets, chrome diopside and chromite grains, all of which are indicative of a kimberlite source rock. The Company believes that this breccia may have disrupted an earlier intruded kimberlite and possibly fragments from the kimberlite may now exist or even have been partially resorbed into the volcanic breccia. As evidence to this, near the bottom of the first hole, at a depth of approximately 250 metres, several small black, and highly magnetic, fragments were recovered that have the potential to be from a kimberlite body. The Company believes that the fragments have come from a nearby body that would most likely produce the magnetic signature defined and have the potential to be a kimberlite body. As such, given the potential of these fragments to represent a kimberlitic body, the Company is concentrating their efforts in this area (Figure 1). Once a kimberlite body is intersected in drilling, the Company will continue drilling in the area to collect more samples and better define the geometry of the body.

Once a kimberlite body is intersected at the Dajingtou anomaly, the Company will return to the other, equally prospective targets on the 703 property, but now with the knowledge gained from the current drilling, to better locate the drill holes in future drilling.


We are gaining considerably more knowledge with every hole that we drilled in this area. The Company is more confident than ever that the kimberlite source of the diamonds is in this area given the latest drilling results, soil sampling and magnetic signature. In addition, we have commenced the processing of a 1m3 sample from surface in an area that we believe has the potential to be kimberlitic.


"The Company is very excited about the very encouraging results thus far and now more confident than ever of our understanding of the geology and the potential of locating the source of the numerous diamond and kimberlite indicator minerals recovered from surface soil sampling" stated Mike Michaud, the Company`s President. "Given the encouraging drill results thus far and presence of diamonds immediately adjacent to the magnetic anomaly, the Company believes that with continued drilling in this area there is excellent potential to identify the kimberlite source rock for the diamonds previously recovered from surface sampling."

The exploration program in China is being carried out under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, P. Geo., the Company`s President who is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

2005-11-24, China Diamond Corp. Initiates Exploration on Recently Acquired Gold Projects in Jiaodong Peninsula, China


London, Ontario, November 24 , 2005 – China Diamond Corp. , (TSX-V: CDC) – (“the Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration has commenced on five of the recently acquired eleven gold exploration licenses in Jiaodong Peninsula, China.

The Company and its joint venture partner have completed the exploration design and selected the best suited contractor to launch Phase One of the exploration program on five (namely P rojects 805, 824, 825, 832 and 833 (see the following figure)) of the recently acquired eleven gold projects (totaling 200 km 2 ) in the Jiaodong Peninsula, a highly prolific gold producing region in the Shandong Province, People`s Republic of China, where 30% of China`s annual gold output is produced. The 11 gold exploration properties were acquired when the Company`s wholly owned subsidiary, China Gold (Shandong) Limited, signed a Letter of Intent with Shandong Dacheng Mining Co., Ltd. , the Company`s current joint venture partner on its 804 gold project, on September 7, 2005.

As of November 22, 2005, exploration work contracts have been signed, the required funds secured and the field crews have commenced the exploration programs.



Project 805

The 805 Gold Project is located along the western margin of the Linlong granites on the western margin of Jiaodong Peninsula, very proximal to the Company`s previously acquired gold projects, namely 801, 802, 803 and 804 where exploration over the summer of 2005 returned very encouraging results. The 805 project, being based in the Linlong granites, is underlain by favourable geology similar to that known to host a number of very large gold deposits (i.e. greater than 1 million ounces of gold). On the 805 gold project, previous soil sampling by the 6 th Geological Brigade identified several anomalous gold-copper zones. The first stage of the exploration program consists of geological mapping and ground geophysical surveying, primarily induced polarization (IP), to identify targets for future surface trenching and/or drilling.

Projects 824 and 825

The 824 and 825 gold projects, located several kilometres along strike from each other, encompass (824 Project) a small past producing gold mine where the local county government recently mined in excess of 1 kilogram of gold from quartz veins hosted within volcanic and granitic rocks. Recent surface rock grab sampling completed by the Company in this area returned a number of anomalous values with the highest assay returned 3.5 g/t gold, 47.3 g/t silver, 0.19% copper, 12.6% lead and 11.7% zinc. In addition, previous soil sampling by the 5 th Geological Brigade identified several anomalous gold zones elsewhere on the property with soil samples returning up to 120 parts per billion (ppb) gold and 750 ppb silver.

On the nearby 825 gold project, previous exploration completed by the 8 th Geological Brigade identified three parallel alteration zones. A limited amount of surface rock sampling across these zones returned a number of anomalous values up to 3.2 g/t gold and 22.6 g/t silver, 3.5 g/t gold and 32.8 g/t silver, and 5.2 g/t gold and 32.6 g/t silver for the three parallel zones, namely L1, L2 and L3, respectively.

The present exploration program for these two gold projects, which consists of detailed geological mapping and sampling as well as surface trenching and geophysics, is designed to confirm the results of the previous exploration work and to better define the gold-silver mineralization for future core drilling.

Projects 832 and 833

The proximally located 832 and 833 gold projects are located within granitic rocks along the eastern margin of Jiaodong Peninsula where a number of base metal deposits have been discovered. Previous exploration on the property conducted by the 8 th Geological Brigade has identified several alteration zones along major east-west trending geological structures. Previous surface rock sampling by the 8 th Geological Brigade has returned a number of anomalous values grading up to 1.2 g/t gold, 82.6 g/t silver, 0.24% copper, 2.3% lead and 1.2% zinc.

Similarly, the planned exploration program for these two gold projects, which consists of detailed geological mapping and sampling as well as surface trenching and geophysics, is designed to confirm the results of the previous exploration work and to better define the gold-silver as well as base metal mineralization for future core drilling.

“Given the Company`s understanding of the geology and gold mineralization in the region, combined with the excellent, preliminary results of exploration previously conducted by the local Geological Brigades, the Company recognizes the excellent prospectivity of these projects`` states Michael Michaud, President of China Diamond. “The Company is very excited to commence exploration on these prospective gold projects, particularly given the relatively limited amount of previous exploration. These projects add to the already strong gold portfolio of the Company”.

The exploration programs are being completed under the direct supervision of Michael Michaud, the Company`s qualified person for this project as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

China Diamond Corp. comments on recent BCSC ruling on a former director

London , Ontario , December 19 , 2005 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) wishe s to clarify a recent ruling by the B.C. Securities Commission concerning Mrs. Paula Marie Poe, a former director, officer and insider of China Diamond Corp. (at the time the Company was Pan Asia Mining Corp.) and assure shareholders that Mrs. Poe acted independently from the Company.

The Company learnt through a news release issued by the B ritish C olumbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) on December 16, 2005 that Mrs. Poe has agreed to pay a fine of $25,000 and serve a five-year securities market ban after she admitted to breaching a BCSC cease trade order.

In a settlement reached with the BCSC, M r s. Poe cannot be a director or officer of any issuer and she cannot trade securities except in limited circumstances for five years. M r s. Poe admitted in the settlement that she traded securities of China Diamond through a nominee account at First Associates Investments Inc. while she was under a cease trade order. Over 1.6 million shares of China Diamond were sold through the nominee account, in breach of the cease trade order. Mrs. Poe also breached securities laws when she failed to file insider reports as required for her trading of China Diamond shares.

“I want to assure shareholders that Mrs. Poe has not been involved with the Company for over three years, and her independent actions do not reflect on the current management of the Company” said Michael Michaud, President and Chief Executive Officer.

2006-01-03, China Diamond Corp. Announces Corporate Development Plans for 2006

London, Ontario, January 3, 2006 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) is pleased to announce summaries of its exploration and mine development programs for 2005 and its corporate development plans for 2006.

The 701 Changma Diamond Mine Expansion Plan

In December 2004 the Company initiated a major underground capital development program at the Mine by deepening the main decline to the -40 metre level (the bottom-most development horizon for mining Indicated Mineral Resources). The Company is pleased to announce that this program has now been completed. Tonnes processed at the Mine have steadily increased since August 2005, and are now at normal production levels of approximately 10,000 tonnes per month. It is anticipated that 2006 mine throughput will be approximately 118,000 tonnes producing close to 82,000 carats.

Since new management took over the helm of the Company in late 2003, it believes that the value of the diamonds produced at the Mine is not realized to its full potential until the existing processing plant facilities are improved. To this end, the Company commissioned an engineering study to evaluate a processing plant improvement and at the same time, assess a mine expansion scenario to improve the economics of the Mine. The study was completed in December 2005 by the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“BGRIMM”), a First Class Engineering certificate holder in China. The study recommends that annual throughput be increased to 168,300 tonnes, which would result in the recovery of approximately 120,000 carats of diamonds per annum. Additionally, a dense medium separator (“DMS”) and x-ray circuit has been recommended for installation in the processing plant. This circuit will update the plant with state-of-the-art technology, resulting in increased recovery of diamonds and better control over security aspects. The installation of inertia cone crushers to replace the existing ball mills is expected to reduce fragmentation of diamonds, and reduce electricity consumption and mine operating costs.

Total capital investment over the life of the Mine is estimated at US$2.9 million, with US$1.5 million required in the next two years. Funds after the next two years are required for continued underground mine development and sustaining capital, which will be financed from after-tax profits. The Company is planning to have an independent 43-101 technical report completed on the property during the first quarter of 2006.

Exploration Projects

Diamond Portfolio

702 Diamond Project

During 2005, the Company and its joint venture partner have been actively pursuing the necessary permits and licenses to complete a bulk sampling program and future mining of the 702 deposit. Although a feasibility study was completed by a Chinese engineering firm during 2005 that indicated the positive aspects of this project, the Company considers that it is prudent to collect a relatively large bulk sample to ascertain the valuation of the diamonds prior to any mine production decision. This will not only provide the necessary confidence in the diamond value but will also provide the necessary information for detailing the optimal mining and processing scenarios for future mine operations. The Company is currently assessing the optimal way to proceed with the bulk sample and once the method and costs are determined, may require additional financing.

703 Diamond Project

Exploration on the 703 project throughout 2005 identified a number of circular magnetic anomalies thought to represent the possible kimberlite source of the diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals previously recovered from surface soil and stream sediment sampling. In addition, the Company initiated a detailed soil sampling survey and resistivity survey immediately over top of and down slope of the Dajingtou (A1) anomaly. The detailed soil sampling recovered 6 diamonds and over 1,200 kimberlite indicator minerals. To date, six holes have been drilled into this area that have so far recovered a number of pyrope garnets, chrome diopside and chromite grains, all of which are indicative of a kimberlite source rock (October 12 news release). However, due the complex nature of the geology, which hosts a number of cross-cutting faults that may have caused displacement of the original kimberlite rock, core drilling has yet to intersect the kimberlite source rock for the diamonds. However, given the extensive soil sampling and the obvious cluster of diamonds in a relatively small area of less than 2km 2 , the Company remains confident in the potential of this area hosting a diamondiferous kimberlite, and as such, continues to aggressively explore this area with soil sampling, geophysics and core drilling, which is currently ongoing.

The Company expects to receive 4 other exploration licenses early in 2006 that in the Company`s opinion possess equal or better potential than the Dajingtou License where work is currently ongoing. The exploration program for 2006, for the Dajingtou license as well as the remaining four licenses (once received) is currently funded in entirety.

Gold Portfolio

Huixian Gold-Copper Project

During 2005, the Company successfully discovered four gold-copper mineralized zones on the Huixian Project with associated alteration and sulfide mineralization, similar to that of the Huixian Mine (September 19, 2005 news release).

The Company is continuing detailed surface exploration on the newly discovered zones, consisting of trenching and ground geophysics to better define the geometry of the mineralized zones beneath the surface to target mineralized zones for future core drilling. In addition, the Company is planning to commence drilling on the Huixian Mine mineralization in order to collect additional information of the gold-copper mineralization at depth prior to updating the estimate of Mineral Resources. The surface work for the project is funded and ongoing, while the core drilling program expected to commence later in 2006 will require additional financing, the amount of which will be determined upon completion of the surface exploration.

A number of surface and muck pile rock samples were collected from the area of the past producing Huixian Mine during the last two months. The assays (see following Table 1) provide an indication of the high grade gold-copper values within the deposit that correlate well with the known average grade of the deposit.


Table 1: Surface Rock Grab Samples from the Huixian Gold-Copper Mine





The samples were analysed at a Chinese laboratory in Jinan, Shandong Province following a strict quality control program designed by the Company that includes a number of sample standards (known grades that are assayed to assess the accuracy of the laboratory).

SPEI Gold (801, 802 and 803) Projects

Geologic mapping and ground magnetic surveying on the 802 licensed area has identified over 20 distinct alteration zones, all similar in character to the geology and alteration of the Xie Jia Gou gold mine (discovered in 2002 and having a Mineral Resource in excess of one million ounces of gold) that is located approximately 7km along strike and to the north of the 802 project. Preliminary rock sampling results have returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals indicating the excellent potential of these zones to host significant concentrations of gold (September 13, 2005 news release). The Company is currently completing geological mapping and magnetic surveying over the remaining two licenses, namely 801 and 803 projects and is expected to be completed in early, 2006. Once completed, the Company will initiate a detailed Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey over the known alteration/mineralized zones to locate potential gold and/or base metal mineralization both along strike and at depth on these zones. Subsequently, a program of surface trenching and/or core drilling will be required to assess these targets. The current program of surface exploration is funded; however, core drilling financing will be required later in 2006.

Dacheng Gold (804) Project

During 2005, the Company initiated an aggressive surface exploration program and has identified 5 distinct north and northeast trending alteration zones (September 20, 2005 news release). Preliminary rock sampling results have returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals, indicating the excellent potential of these zones to host significant concentrations of gold, similar to that of the neighbouring Xiadian and Yin Que Shan gold deposits, both located within approximately 5km. The Xiadian gold mine has a Mineral Resource in excess of 6 tonnes of gold, while underground exploration at the Yin Que Shan gold deposit, located 2km to the north along strike from the 804 Project, is continuing. The Company has designed and plans to initiate a more detailed program of structural geology mapping, as well as a detailed IP survey to identify sulphide mineralization in the alteration/mineralized zones as defined by the geology and magnetic surveys.

Dacheng 11 Gold Projects

In addition, the Company and its joint venture partner are actively exploring five P rojects, namely 805, 824, 825, 832 and 833 (see November 24, 2005 news release) of the recently acquired eleven gold projects (totalling 200km 2 ) in the Jiaodong Peninsula. The first stage of the exploration program consists of geological mapping and ground geophysical surveying, primarily IP survey, to identify targets for future surface trenching and/or drilling. This stage, expected to complete in March-April of 2006 is currently funded and proceeding on schedule.

“We are very pleased with the progress and the encouraging results from our exploration on all of the Company`s gold and diamond projects during 2005” states Michael Michaud, President and CEO of China Diamond Corp. “The Company continues to actively explore these projects and looks forward to securing financing for further exploration and to commence the next stage of capital improvements at the 701 Changma Diamond Mine``.

The mine development program and exploration programs are being completed under the direct supervision of Andrew Bradfield, P.Eng. and Michael Michaud, P.Geo., the Company`s qualified persons for the projects as defined by NI 43-101 regulations.

Financing Plans

Given the aggressive corporate development plans for fiscal 2006 as outlined above, the Company is actively pursuing a financing of US$3 to US$5 million from the international and domestic capital markets that will be most beneficial to the Company.

The Board of Directors of China Diamond Corp. also wishes to announce that the Company has entered into a C$1,000,000 secured non-revolving credit loan arrangement with Mr. Sam Halbouni, Chairman of China Diamond Corp., whereby the Company has access to funds for up to a maximum amount of C$1 million for exploration programs and for general corporate needs. This secured loan is payable one-year after the date of each draw down and bears an annual interest rate of 12% payable upon maturity. The credit arrangement is secured by way of a general security agreement.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has received C$0.5 million from this credit facility and the funds were used to advance the Company`s gold exploration projects, to finance the capital expansion of the 701 Changma Diamond Mine, and to fund corporate expenses.

“I am extremely encouraged by our achievement in 2005 that helped to diversify the Company into a diamond and gold company with a portfolio of prospective projects” noted Mr. Sam Halbouni, Chairman of the Board of Directors, “I have personally committed C$1 million of my personal wealth to China Diamond Corp. and I am confident that the Company will succeed in all its endeavours and derive benefits to all our shareholders in 2006”.

c2006-01-16, At the Request of the TSX Venture Exchange, China Diamond Corp. Clarifies Certain Disclosure Information on Its Exploration Projects in China

London, Ontario, January 16, 2006 – China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC) has amended the disclosure in its January 3, 2006 news release, which relates to the Company`s exploration and mine expansion programs for 2005 and its corporate development plans for 2006, in order to clarify and expand on the disclosure that was contained within.

Detailed geologic mapping and ground magnetic surveying on the 802 project in 2005 has identified over 20 distinct alteration zones, consisting of silicification and seritization with associated quartz veining. These alteration zones correlate with NE trending fault zones that have been interpreted from the recent geologic mapping and detailed ground magnetic surveying (see September 13, 2005 news release and Independent Technical Report on the 801, 802 and 803 “SPEI” Gold Properties, China, prepared by Jim Misener of Paterson, Grant & Watson, September, 2005). The geology underlying the 802 project, the style of alteration and presence of quartz veining is similar in character to the known geology and host to gold mineralization in the region, in particular to that of the geology hosting the Xie Jia Gou gold mine that is located approximately 7km along strike and to the north of the 802 project. Preliminary rock sampling completed by the Company on the 802 project has returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals (September 13, 2005 news release). The Company is currently completing geological mapping and magnetic surveying over the remaining two licenses, namely 801 and 803 projects and is expected to be completed in early, 2006. Once completed, the Company will initiate a detailed Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey over the known alteration/mineralized zones to locate potential gold and/or base metal mineralization both along strike and at depth on these zones. Subsequently, a program of surface trenching and/or core drilling will be required to assess these targets. The current program of surface exploration is funded; however, core drilling financing will be required later in 2006.

Dacheng Gold (804) Project

During 2005, the Company initiated an aggressive surface exploration program, consisting of detailed geologic mapping, soil sampling and ground magnetic surveying, that identified 5 distinct north and northeast trending alteration zones, consisting of silicification and seritization with associated quartz veining. These alteration zones correlate with NE trending fault zones that have been interpreted from the recent geologic mapping and detailed ground magnetic surveying (see September 20, 2005 news release and Independent Technical Report on the 804 “Dacheng” Gold Property, China , prepared by Jim Misener of Paterson , Grant & Watson, September, 2005). Preliminary rock sampling results have returned numerous anomalous values in gold, as well as silver and other base metals. The geology underlying the 804 project, the style of alteration and presence of quartz veining is similar in character to the known geology and host to gold mineralization in the region, in particular to that of the geology hosting the gold mineralization at the Xiadian and Yin Que Shan gold deposits, both located within approximately 5km from the 804 project. The Company has designed and plans to initiate a more detailed program of structural geology mapping, as well as a detailed IP survey to identify sulphide mineralization in the alteration/mineralized zones as defined by the geology and magnetic surveys.

Dacheng 11 Gold Projects

In addition, the Company and its joint venture partner are actively exploring five P rojects, namely 805, 824, 825, 832 and 833 (see November 24, 2005 news release) of the recently acquired eleven gold projects (totalling 200km 2 ) in the Jiaodong Peninsula. The first stage of the exploration program consists of geological mapping and ground geophysical surveying, primarily IP survey, to identify targets for future surface trenching and/or drilling. This stage, expected to complete in March-April of 2006 is currently funded and proceeding on schedule.

“We are very pleased with the progress and the results from our exploration on all of the Company`s gold and diamond projects during 2005” states Michael Michaud, President and CEO of China Diamond Corp. “The Company continues to actively explore these projects and looks forward to securing financing for further exploration and to commence the next stage of capital improvements at the 701 Changma Diamond Mine``.

The mine development program and exploration programs are being completed under the direct supervision of Andrew Bradfield, P.Eng. and Michael Michaud, P.Geo., the Company`s qualified persons for the projects as defined by NI 43-101 regulations, whom also have reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this press release.

Financing Plans

Given the aggressive corporate development plans for fiscal 2006 as outlined above, the Company is actively pursuing a financing of US$3 to US$5 million from the international and domestic capital markets that will be most beneficial to the Company.

The Board of Directors of China Diamond Corp. also wishes to announce that the Company has entered into a C$1,000,000 secured non-revolving credit loan arrangement with Mr. Sam Halbouni, Chairman of China Diamond Corp., whereby the Company has access to funds for up to a maximum amount of C$1 million for exploration programs and for general corporate needs. This secured loan is payable one-year after the date of each draw down and bears an annual interest rate of 12% payable upon maturity. The credit arrangement is secured by way of a general security agreement.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has received C$0.5 million from this credit facility and the funds were used to advance the Company`s gold exploration projects, to finance the capital expansion of the 701 Changma Diamond Mine, and to fund corporate expenses.

“I am encouraged by our achievement in 2005 that helped to diversify the Company into a diamond and gold company with a portfolio of prospective projects” noted Mr. Sam Halbouni, Chairman of the Board of Directors, “I have personally committed C$1 million of my personal wealth to China Diamond Corp. and I am confident that the Company will succeed in all its endeavours”.

Wie den SEDAR - Files zu entnehmen ist, findet am 2.März die Aktionärshauptversammlung statt. Auf der Tagesordnung steht (sofern mein english mich nicht irreleitet...), dass es vorgesehen ist einen Kapitalschnitt in der Höhe der Verschuldung vorzunehmen. Also eine Sanierung der Altasten zu Lasten der Aktionäre... mit der Hoffnung, dass dann die Firma sich doch noch positiv entwickelt.

Dadurch dass der Chairmen gerade 1.300.000 Kapital einschiesst, nehme ich an, dass die Sanierung ernsthaft und auch erfolgreich verlaufen könnte.

Das alles erklärt wohl auch, dass seit dem 26.1.2006 keine Aktien mehr gehandelt wurden....

2006-10-16, China Diamond Recovers 101.4695 Carat Gem Quality Diamond from 701 Mine.

London, Ontario, October 16, 2006– China Diamond Corp., (TSX-V: CDC – the “Company”), a company engaged in mining for diamonds and the exploration and advancement of diamond and gold prospects in China, is pleased to announce the recovery of a 101.4695 Carat gem quality diamond from the 701 Changma Diamond Mine. The 701 Changma Diamond Mine is China Diamond’s principal mining operation located in Shandong Province in the People’s Republic of China.

The 101.4695 Carat diamond, 29.4 millimeters in length and 17.853 millimeters in height, was discovered on May 27, 2006. The diamond is yellowish, translucent and an oblong octahedron. The Company was delayed in announcing the recovery of the diamond due to the resignation of its qualified persons and the regulatory requirements to have the press release reviewed by a qualified person prior to its release.

The diamond is the property of the Mengyin VVS1 Diamond Corporation Ltd., a Joint Venture in which China Diamond Corp has a 50% interest. The diamond is currently being held under security at the Bank of China in Beijing. The diamond will be available for public display as the Joint Venture initiates a tendering process which will conclude in the sale of the diamond. Net proceeds of the sale will be attributed to the Joint Venture Company.

The recovery of the large diamond is a rare and significant find for the 701 Changma Diamond Mine. The following table summarizes the mine’s production for 2006 year to date.
