5 Over the past 24 months Merlin Diamonds has focused on pre-feasibility production trials and feasibility studies aimed at re-establishing operation at the Merlin Mine in the Northern Territory, Australia. Merlin Diamonds is also active in its other tenement holdings in the North Kimberley, and Arnhem Land, holding approximately 22,000km² in total under title.

7 Merlin Diamonds Limited ( Merlin Diamonds" or the Company") is focused on developing its flagship Merlin Diamond Mine Project in the Northern Territory, Australia and is engaged in extensive exploration for additional sources of diamonds in and around Merlin Merlin Diamonds has previously undertaken resource definition drilling resulting in the identification of sufficient resources to potentially underpin a 15 year plus mining project Merlin is renowned for producing large, high clarity, super white, high value stones Successful pre-feasibility production trials recovered 10,600cts of diamonds, which were valued at USD$351 per carat in June 2011 by Independent Diamond Valuers Pty Ltd, highlighting the viability of proceeding to a commercial mining operation Merlin has commissioned the diamond recovery plant and processing of historic ROM stockpiles has begun. Borehole mining rig setup on the Ywain pit is complete and production from the first borehole will commence in October Merlin is the only diamond mine in the Northern Territory and will be the third producer in Australia. The largest diamond found in Australia Some of the diamonds produced from the Merlin ct stone Merlin production assortment 7

8 Refurbishment and commissioning of the diamond recovery plant is now complete. Construction of the gabion wharf for loading of the drill rig onto the floating platform (barge) and construction and emplacement of the barge is also complete. The borehole rig has mobilised onto the barge and drilling of the pilot hole has commenced. First production from the borehole is expected in October Previously unprocessed kimberlite material that was stockpiled from previous mining (and was too large to process) is now weathered enough to reprocess after being exposed for over 15 years. Between 180, ,000 tonnes of this material is estimated to be available and has been used for commissioning of the plant and can be used as supplementary feed to the borehole mining ore. The ROM stockpiles, apart from being bonus ore material that can be processed at a low cost, also have the potential to host large diamonds due to the fact that the previous plant could only process stones up to 20mm in diameter (approx. 100 cts). These larger stones, being more dense than the host rock, will likely be at the base of the stockpiles and if present, represent a significant windfall opportunity. 8

14 Merlin Diamonds Limited is using borehole mining as a means to optimise the economics of ore extraction at Merlin. Borehole mining involves the use of high pressure water jets to cut and break rock formations in a drill hole with the resultant slurry being pumped to the surface. Borehole mining can be undertaken to a depth of at least 500 metres. Merlin Diamonds Limited is working with Kinley Exploration, a US Company with an established operating history in relation to borehole mining including undertaking work at Diavik (Rio Tinto) and Ekati (BHP) Diamond Mines (where Kinley were getting good lift at 600metres depth). 14

15 The first pilot borehole is currently being drilled at Ywain pit with production from this hole commencing at the start of October. The drill rig is set up on a floating pontoon on the water surface of the submerged Ywain pit. A borehole mining operation incorporating Gwain, Ywain, Excalibur and Palsac to 200 meters could have a potential carat population of 3.13 million carats. The opportunity exists to expand the borehole mining operation by incorporating other pipes at Merlin, or extensions to Gawain, Ywain, Excalibur and/or Palsac. 15

16 Borehole mining is a proven technique for diamond extraction from Kimberlite pipes to depth, and has being successfully used by major diamond mines including Ekati (BHP) and Diavik (Rio Tinto) Borehole mining removes the need for pit cut back and associated waste removal No requirement for significant mining fleet, comprising excavators, haul trucks, loaders and other associated capital equipment No requirement for drill and blast Reduction in labour and capital equipment, results in reduced infrastructure requirements, related support staff, and working capital required for consumables such as diesel fuel, spare parts etc. The above factors result in making borehole mining an economically attractive alternative to conventional open pit mining with lower capital risk. As bore-hole mining does not require significant waste removal, development of ROM pads, large diesel fuel farms and explosives; there is a reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional mining, thus reducing rehabilitation costs and mine closure planning 16

19 Rio Tinto s 1997 feasibility study on the Merlin Diamond Project made the following comments in regard to: Discovering more small pipes: Small pipes, such as Ywain, may be fairly common in the field,.. Merlin has commenced onsite exploration of the Mine Lease using a ground EM34 geophysical exploration tool. New targets already identified, previous data too widely spaced to discover all potenial Ywain/Gwain size pipes. Next stage to use ground gravity geophysical tool. EM34 target Gravity target 19

20 Rio Tinto s 1997 feasibility study on the Merlin Diamond Project also made the following comments in regard to: Discovering more large pipes: There is some potential for significantly larger pipes,. Discovering new kimberlite fields: Within 100km radius of Merlin, there are seven areas in which both indicators, microdiamonds and in some instances commercial sized diamonds, have been recorded. A small kimberlite pipe was found at one location, in a structural position similar to the pipes at Merlin. This evidence indicates that the Merlin field is part of a broader kimberlite province. and.. These factors (cretaceous cover, poor preservation of indicator minerals) while inhibiting the exploration effort, generally increase the possibility of other kimberlite fields and larger pipes to be present in the province. Evidence of a new kimberlite field is highlighted in Legend International s ground such as the Abner Range Project located 50km to the west of Merlin. 20

21 Lancelot / Tintagel High priority target area Evidence of commercially sized diamonds, microdiamonds and indicator minerals strongly suggest presence of a second diamond field Trench mapping and heavy mineral sampling has led to the identification of indicator mineral bearing eluvial material, further trenching and sampling has been completed with samples being processed Arnhem Land Under explored but highly prospective for diamond bearing Kimberlites Merlin Diamonds has a contractual right to obtain an 80% interest in 2 tenements in the prospective western region of Arnhem Land. These tenements are at the application stage Seppelt Pipes, North Kimberly Mining lease continues to retain commercial potential Merlin Diamonds has identified an Inferred Resource of 1.57Mcts within the Ashmore, Seppelt 1 and 2 Kimberlite pipes, with Seppelt 2 having an exceptional grade of over 180cpht 21

22 Represents a significant and unique opportunity to explore for a large volume, high value, alluvial diamond deposit Two granted tenements cover an area of approx. 1,150km², approx. 100km north of Merlin Only major alluvial concentration at a low point, in this catchment, known to host significant diamond deposits Alluvial gravels drain through the MacArthur River, deriving material from the catchment that contains the Merlin kimberlite field and the Abner Range The work program began in Sep 2011, following approval of a Mine Management Plan By the Dec 2011 quarter, Merlin Diamonds had extracted 5000 tonnes of alluvial material from 5 different work areas 3000 tonnes of material from 3 pits have been processed at the Merlin Mine 22 diamonds weighing a total of 1.09cts were recovered and diamond quality to be assessed upon completion of processing Results to date confirm that the Borroloola Alluvial Gravels host a macro-diamond population 22 22
