(the \"Company\" or \"Dunnedin\") (TSX-V: DVI) today reported the Company's first diamond recovery results from the Kahuna kimberlite. The 144.44 kg sample of Kahuna returned 13 commercial-sized stones (+0.85 mm) totalling 0.334 carats, for a sample grade of 2.32 carats per tonne. The largest recovered diamond was a 0.12 carat clear and colourless twinned octahedral stone.

Historical bulk sampling yielded 1.04 carats (+0.85 mm) per tonne, but audits to determine a final sample grade do not appear to have been completed by the past operator. With this latest sample returning 2.32 carats per tonne, the Company is strongly encouraged by the size and grade potential of this kimberlite, and we view bulk sampling to determine diamond value as a priority.\"\n\n\n \nDetails of an Inferred Resource and Target for Further Exploration have been published for the Kahuna kimberlite, both of which were completed by APEX Geoscience Ltd. and are available as a National Instrument NI 43-101 technical report filed on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) on March 12, 2015.
