Diamonds North Beluga-3 Bulk Sample Progress

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VANCOUVER, August 12, 2010 -- Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: DDN) has commenced drilling the 25 tonne bulk sample of the Beluga-3 kimberlite, located on its 100% owned Amaruk project in Nunavut.

The 2009 mini-bulk sample of Beluga-3 demonstrated larger diamond potential giving the Company confidence to proceed with this bulk sample (see News Release NR09-17, December 1st, 2009). Based on rough reconstructive analysis provided by Saskatchewan Research Council Laboratory, the Company estimates the largest diamond fragment recovered in 2009 to have been a diamond between 0.2 to 0.25 carats (see News Release NR10-05, April 16th, 2010).

Further interest in the Beluga-3 area has developed as a result of a comparison of garnet chemistry from the Beluga-3 kimberlite and surrounding till samples. A high priority garnet population observed in the till was not recovered in the 2009 Beluga-3 kimberlite sample, suggesting an untested phase of kimberlite is present in Beluga-3 and or additional undiscovered kimberlites in the immediate area. Additional exploration drilling is planned around Beluga-3 to locate the source of this high priority garnet population.

A total of 25 kimberlites have been discovered on the Amaruk property and 90% of the kimberlites processed for diamonds are proven to be diamondiferous. Hundreds of untested anomalies remain and numerous kimberlite indicator mineral trains remain unresolved offering high potential for additional kimberlite discovery on the property. Diamonds North will continue refining kimberlite targeting methods.
