• Macro diamond found during logging of Kelvin core

TORONTO, July 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Kennady Diamonds Inc. ("Kennady Diamonds", the "Company") (TSX-V: KDI) is pleased to announce the latest drill results from the 100 percent-controlled Kennady North diamond project located in Canada's Northwest Territories. The Kennady North project is adjacent to the Gahcho Kué diamond mine currently under development by De Beers Canada and Mountain Province Diamonds (T:MPV; NASDAQ:MDM).

Kennady Diamonds CEO Patrick Evans commented: "At Kelvin we are currently conducting delineation/infill drilling in preparation for the maiden resource statement expected before the end of the year. Most of the current infill drill holes are designed to also provide geotechnical and hydrological data to support the future Kelvin mine design. Remarkably, another macro diamond was recovered last Friday during logging of core from the Kelvin hole 047. The dimensions of the diamond are approximately 2mm by 3mm. This is the third time that a diamond has been recovered during core logging at Kennady North and is a reflection of the very high diamond content of both the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites."

Mr. Evans added:  "Drilling at the Faraday 2 kimberlite has been focused on delineating the lower portions of the pipe which inevitable results in shorter kimberlite intersects than previously reported. Based on the results to date it appears that the Faraday 2 kimberlite is changing direction from the SE to NW strike so far delineated over 240 meters."

About Kennady Diamonds
Kennady Diamonds Inc. controls 100 percent of the Kennady North project which comprises thirteen leases and claims located immediately to the north and west of the four leases controlled by the Gahcho Kué Joint Venture between De Beers Canada (51%) and Mountain Province (49%) located in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Kennady Diamonds aims to identify a resource along the Kelvin – Faraday kimberlite corridor of between a 12 and 15 million tonnes at a grade of between 2 and 2.5 carats per tonne and also to identify new kimberlites outside of the corridor. The Kelvin – Faraday corridor is a target for further exploration. The tonnage estimate is based on the drilling completed to date. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient drilling to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
