RECOMMENDED CASH OFFER OF A$300M BY
GEM DIAMONDS LIMITED
FOR KIMBERLEY DIAMOND COMPANY NL
Introduction
Gem Diamonds Limited (LSE: GEMD) ("Gem Diamonds") and Kimberley Diamond Company
NL (ASX: KIM/AIM: KDC) ("Kimberley") are pleased to announce that they have
reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by Gem Diamonds for
all the issued and to be issued share capital of Kimberley.
Gem Diamonds is pursuing an accelerated growth strategy both through
acquisitions and the development of existing assets which include a portfolio
of a producing kimberlite mine an alluvial mine, numerous development projects
and a number of exploration assets with long-term prospects. Established in
July 2005, as at 18 July 2007 (being the last business day before this
announcement) Gem Diamonds had an equity market capitalisation of approximately
US$1.4 billion.
Kimberley is an independent ASX listed diamond producer operating the Ellendale
Diamond Mine in Western Australia. The Ellendale mine produces gem and near gem
quality diamonds including Kimberley's signature stone, the rare and highly
valuable fancy yellow diamond.
Highlights
* Cash offer of A$0.70 for each Kimberley share, representing a premium of
approximately 33% to Kimberley's closing share price on 16 July 2007.
* Offer values Kimberley at A$300 million (circa US$263 million).
* The offer is unanimously recommended by Kimberley's directors who, in the
absence of a superior offer, have agreed to accept the offer in respect of
their own holdings.
* Gem Diamonds has entered into arrangements to acquire approximately 14.9%
of Kimberley from a range of Kimberley shareholders at the offer price of
A$0.70.
* Gem Diamonds will provide Kimberley with a A$10 million short term loan
facility for working capital purposes.
* Gem Diamonds intends to leverage its financial strength and technical
expertise to deliver on the full potential of Kimberley's assets.
* Production of high value fancy diamonds from Ellendale, Kimberley's primary
mine, is strategically attractive to Gem Diamonds.
* Following Gem Diamonds' acquisition of Cempaka, the acquisition of
Ellendale further enhances Gem Diamonds' global diversity.
Commenting on the offer, Clifford Elphick, Chairman and CEO of Gem Diamonds,
said:
"Gem Diamonds is pleased to announce this offer for Kimberley which enjoys the
full support of the boards of both companies.
Whilst the Ellendale operation has faced challenges, I have no doubt that Gem
Diamonds' technical expertise combined with its ongoing support of the current
operational and technical management will ensure these challenges are overcome.
Gem Diamonds' management is committed to the Ellendale staff and look forward
to working with them to develop the mine to its full potential.
Kimberley presents a strong strategic fit within Gem Diamonds; both with the
geographic diversification it contributes to the Group as well as with its high
value fancy diamond production. Over time I am confident that these fancy
diamonds will achieve higher prices when sold in combination with the high
value Let*eng diamonds.
This will be Gem Diamonds' third acquisition since it floated on the LSE in
February, and its largest to date. Ellendale brings a third producing asset to
the Gem Diamonds portfolio and takes Gem Diamonds a step closer to its ambition
of becoming one of the world's leading diamond producers."
Commenting on the offer, Miles Kennedy, Executive Chairman of Kimberley, said:
"This recommended cash offer will reposition Kimberley's Ellendale Project
within the broader portfolio of international diamond assets assembled by Gem
Diamonds. Gem Diamonds brings the required balance sheet strength to complete
the production ramp-up at Ellendale and optimize production and marketing
strategies to ensure the longevity of the operation."

Notes to Editors:
1. Information relating to Gem Diamonds
Gem Diamonds is a diamond mining company with a balanced portfolio of a
producing kimberlite mine, a producing alluvial mine, development projects and
long-term prospects. Established in July 2005, Gem Diamonds is pursuing an
accelerated growth strategy and aims to become one of the world's leading
diamond producers. Gem Diamonds currently has one producing kimberlite mine,
Let*eng, in Lesotho, a producing alluvial mine Cempaka in Indonesia, a
kimberlite development project in Botswana, four development projects in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, one in the Central African Republic and an option
to develop the Chiri kimberlite concession in Angola. Gem Diamonds has a
specific focus towards higher value diamonds, a segment of the market that its
management believes will deliver superior long-term returns.
Gem Diamonds listed on the London Stock Exchange in February 2007, raising over
US$600 million (net of expenses) to fund development of its existing assets as
well as to pursue acquisitive growth opportunities.
2. Information relating to Kimberley
Kimberley is an independent diamond producer listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX: KIM) and the AIM of the London Stock Exchange (AIM:
KDC).
With its corporate headquarters based in Perth, Western Australia, Kimberley
supplies high quality, conflict-free rough diamonds to world markets from its
100%-owned Ellendale Project, located some 2,000km north of Perth in Western
Australia's Kimberley region.
During the first half of calendar 2007, the Ellendale Project continued its
production ramp-up with the objective of achieving long-term, steady-state
production levels.
This represented the culmination of five years of infrastructure and mining
development - amounting to a total investment of approximately A$150 million.
This timeframe to full-scale production is well below the industry average for
major diamond operations of approximately 8 years.
Ellendale produces predominantly gem and near-gem quality diamonds with a
"signature stone" of the rare and highly valuable fancy yellow diamond.
During its ramp-up phase from the commencement of mining in mid-2002 through to
the end of financial year 2007, the Ellendale mining operations processed more
than 11 million tonnes of ore, resulting in the recovery of over 700,000 carats
and generating sales revenue of A$165 million.
Following the completion of several staged expansions, the Project now
comprises two separate mining and production centres within a 124 sq km mining
lease. Pipe 9 (47 hectares) has two processing facilities, the 3.3mtpa East
Plant and 0.6mtpa West Plant, while Pipe 4 (76 hectares), located approximately
15km to the south east, has the 4.4mtpa South Plant.
This amounts to a combined 8.3mtpa processing name plate capacity when in
steady state production, which should underpin annual carat production of more
than 600,000.
Kimberley is also actively exploring the 124 km2 Ellendale Mining Lease which
contains some 46 lamproite pipes and over 100 exploration targets with the
potential to deliver future production and cash flow opportunities in addition
to currently identified resources (78 million tonnes at 6.4 carats per hundred
tonnes for approximately 5 million contained carats at 30 June 2006).
Kimberley also holds a 40% interest in the ASX-listed diamond explorer and
emerging producer Blina Diamonds NL, which controls a high-quality 1,800 km2
tenement package covering and surrounding the central core of the Ellendale
Project, including 50 identified lamproite pipes and a number of diamondiferous
alluvial channels.
For the year ended 30 June 2006, Kimberley reported revenue of A$35.9 million,
loss before tax of A$16.0 million, and as at 30 June 2006 had net assets of
A$125.1 million and gross assets of A$193.0 million. In the six months to 31
December 2006, Kimberley reported revenue of A$19.8 million, loss before tax of
A$10.8 million and as at 31 December 2006 had net assets of A$182.9 million and
gross assets of A$260.9 million.
