Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PAN), (the "Company" or "Pangolin") is
pleased to announce that diamond core drilling has commenced at its 100% owned
Jwaneng South Project (the "Project") in Botswana, Africa. This is one of
Pangolin's four 100% owned diamond exploration projects in Botswana. 


Drilling marks the next major step in Pangolin's exploration of its Jwaneng
South Project. The Company has identified more than 20 drill-ready kimberlite
targets at the Project area since work commenced in 2011. 


Highlights of the initial Kimberlite Target ("GK6") now being drilled at Jwaneng
South include:




--  GK6 is a large circular feature highlighted by a high density vegetation
    anomaly spanning an area of 1.5 km in diameter. This feature can be seen
    clearly with Google EarthTM - click here:
    http://pangolindiamondscorp.com/cGEBC58.kml; 

--  The GK6 aeromagnetic drill target covers 120 hectares.  It is twice the
    size of DeBeers' Jwaneng Mine when first discovered in 1972 and
    approximately the same size as their Orapa Mine when first discovered in
    1967.  The Jwaneng Mine is the worlds richest diamond mine by value and
    contributes 60% - 70% of Debswana's annual revenue. The Orapa Mine is
    the second largest diamond producing kimberlite pipe in the world; 

--  Aeromagnetic surveys indicate the formation is near surface; and 

--  Gravity lows at GK6 are the same to those associated with the Jwaneng
    Mine diamondiferous kimberlites.

Pangolin's diamond drill program at GK6, now underway, will consist of at least
two core drill holes to a minimum depth of 150 meters. The drilling will center
on two magnetic phases identified within the aeromagnetic anomaly associated
with the feature visible on Google Earth(TM). 


A number of other aeromagnetic and vegetation (geo-botanical) anomalies within
the Jwaneng South Project are targeted for drilling during this campaign. They
also exhibit magnetic positive or negative characteristics.


Below are a 650 meter wide positive anomaly and a 1,000 meter wide negative anomaly:

Dr Leon Daniels, B.Sc., Ph.D., Chairman of Pangolin, stated, "The proximity of
the famous Jwaneng Mine makes this Project one of the top priorities of
Pangolin's exploration program. We look forward with anticipation to an
aggressive drilling campaign to test an abundance of large kimberlite targets."


About the Jwaneng Kimberlite Field

The Jwaneng Kimberlite field has 18 confirmed kimberlites, of which at least 6
are known to be diamondiferous and 4 are being mined. This represents a 1 in 5
conversion from exploration target to production. The field is situated in the
Southern District of Botswana, 100 km north of the South African border. The
Jwaneng Mine is the world's richest diamond mine by value, contributing 60% -
70% of Debswana's annual revenue. It generates approximately US$1.16 billion
from 8 million carats produced annually.


About the Jwaneng South Diamond Project

The 799 km2 Jwaneng South Project is located 50 km south of the Jwaneng Mine.
The Jwaneng Mine was discovered in 1972 and is operated by Debswana, a
joint-venture company between DeBeers and Botswana. There is well-established
infrastructure in the area with a skilled workforce, roads, power and water.


Pangolin has identified more than 20 large, drill-ready kimberlite targets at
its Jwaneng South Project through exploration work completed since 2011. The
Project has multiple, circular crater-like features with aeromagnetic
characteristics similar to those of kimberlites in the Pipe 441 area of Canada.
Enzyme-leach trace element results are consistent with orientation trace element
results over known diamondiferous kimberlites from the Jwaneng kimberlite field.
These results come from an independent analysis of samples by Activation
Laboratories Ltd. of Ancaster, Ontario.


The Company cautions that information regarding the Jwaneng Mine and Orapa Mine
is not necessarily indicative of the kimberlite targets being drilled by the
Company, and there is no guarantee that the kimberlite targets being drilled by
the Company will return diamond results of any economic significance.
