Dear Sir,

RE: AIM PLACEMENT

Elkedra Diamonds NL (ASX/AIM: EDN) has pleasure in announcing that it will place
3,117,059 shares at 17 British pence (A$0.40) to sophisticated investors in the
UK raising a gross amount of 529,900 British pounds (A$1,246,823). The placement
was managed by the company's London AIM Broker, Westhouse Securities.

The new shares will rank equally with existing shares on issue and application

Stock Exchange and the ASX. Admission of the new shares to AIM is expected on 16

The net proceeds of the issue will be applied to bringing forward exploration

requirements associated with the development of Elkedra's 100% owned Chapada
diamond project in Brazil.

It is expected the Appendix 3B will be lodged on Friday 16 December being the

For and on behalf of the Board.
