       Shareholders Approve De-merger of Diamond Interests Into New Company


At a series of meetings in Dublin this morning, shareholders and optionholders
of Conroy Diamonds and Gold P.l.c. (CDG) approved proposals to de-merge the
company's diamond interests in Finland into a separate entity, Karelian Diamond
Resources plc ('Karelian'). The de-merger will be implemented by way of a Scheme
of Arrangement under the terms of which CDG shareholders will receive one
ordinary fully-paid Karelian share for every six ordinary CDG shares held on the
record date.

High Court approval of the transaction will now be sought.

Karelian intends to apply for admission to AIM at the earliest opportunity.
Brokers to the company are Seymour Pierce.
