Diamond Discoveries Receives NI 43-101 Technical Report on Caribou Property,
Thetford-Mines, Quebec
"RECENT SAMPLING HAS CONFIRMED THE POSSIBILITY OF FINDING ECONOMIC GRADES OF
PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM"

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Diamond Discoveries
International Corp. (DMDD:OTCBB) is very pleased to announce that they have
received from GEOLOGICA Groupe - Conseil Inc. ("Geologica") a NI 43-101
Technical Report on their 100% owned Caribou property authored by Alain-Jean
Beauregard, P.Geo., OGQ, FGAC and Daniel Gaudreault, P. Eng., OIQ, AEMQ,
Thetford-Mines area in the province of Quebec Canada.
    Eleven (11) deposits and showings are present on the Caribou property
(Montreal Mine, Caribou Mine, American Chrome Deposit, American Chrome Jr.,
Finneth, Cesar, Dumais, Vaillancourt, Gagne, Greenshields and
Lambly-Nadeau/Victoria Mines). As stated in the report from Geologica, these
deposits and showings show good potential for chromium, nickel and platinum
mineralizations.
    More than eleven (11) known chromite deposits and showings on DMDD's
property were recognized and defined. The report indicates that the results of
the past work are very interesting and significant for DMDD since they not
only confirm the presence of platinum and palladium on the Caribou property,
but also seem to show that PGE mineralization is preferentially associated
with the contact between ultramafic and mafic units of the Thetford Mines
Ophiolitic Complex. More than 10 Km of favorable contact is present on the
Property. Large-scale mapping of this metalotect led to identifying new PGE
showings.
    Moreover, recent sampling on the Starchrome property immediately south of
the Caribou property, has confirmed the possibility of finding economic grades
of platinum and palladium. In fact, a grab sample (sample SC-1) has revealed
15.93 g/t Pt-Pd and .427 ppm Rh. Previously, a channel sampling carried out by
Allican had revealed a total platinum-palladium values of 2.61 g/t, and 3.83
g/t and 4.66 g/t over widths of 4.7m.
    Geologica recommends that an exploration program be undertaken on the
Caribou property. Geologica states that the character of the property is of
sufficient merit to justify the recommended program. The recommended
exploration program is divided into two (2) phases where the second phase is
conditional to the success of the first phase. The estimated combined budget
for phase 1 and 2 is approximately two million dollars.
    Mr. Bertrand Brassard, P.Geo., M.Sc., Technical Advisor, a Qualified
Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of
