Diadem Resources Ltd. Announces the Delay of Annual Financial Statements and MD&A Filings

MONTREAL, Oct. 1, 2012 - Diadem Resources Ltd., (TSX VENTURE:DRL) (the "Company") announced today that the filing of its annual audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the related officer certifications for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") will be delayed beyond the filing deadline of September 28, 2012. The Company's financial condition has deteriorated to the point that, without a financing, it cannot continue its operations as a going concern from a financial reporting point of view. Until a financing is in place the Company is unable to meet its Annual Filings obligation.

As a result of this delay, the Company expects that its principal regulator, Autorité Marché Financier, and other relevant securities regulatory authorities, under applicable securities legislation, will invoke their respective cease trade orders ("CTO") in connection with the delay in filing the Annual Filings. If a CTO is invoked, it will prohibit trading in securities of the Company for so long as the CTO remains in place.

The Company is actively seeking a financing in order to properly address the situation and, at the appropriate time, will apply to the Autorité Marché Financier and other relevant securities regulatory authorities for a partial revocation of the CTO to provide for the consummation of such financing and ultimately a full revocation of the CTO.

Diadem currently has outstanding 50,008,848 common shares and 53,908,848 common shares on a fully diluted basis.
