--  geochemical sample program completed, results pending 



HOAM Project

The Company's 2011 HOAM exploration program was focused on drill assessment of
several priority magnetic anomalies and on detailed airborne magnetic surveys of
prospective target areas. A light weight drill was used to complete five shallow
holes on four targets with specific magnetic signatures. Three of the five holes
intersected kimberlite. These new discoveries reinforce management's view that
there is a high likelihood that many of the untested priority targets within the
HOAM project area have a high probability of being kimberlites. Management
anticipates a full drilling season in 2012 to test these targets. 


The detailed airborne surveys were conducted over 27 target areas. Results
provide valuable additional information over existing targets already scheduled
for drilling and define numerous new previously unidentified targets. Additional
detailed airborne surveying is justified and plans will be undertaken to conduct
a program as financing and weather permit. 


Soil geochemical sampling also was conducted over limited targets to ascertain
if the enzyme leach analysis process will be helpful with prioritization of the
numerous targets that are planned for drilling in 2012. Results are pending.


The Company has been very successful in identifying kimberlite occurrences
within the extensive HOAM project area. To date, 26 kimberlite discoveries have
been made in this relatively unexplored region of the NWT. Although some of
these occurrences are microdiamond bearing, the sources of the extremely
positive kimberlite indicator mineral populations (including G10 garnets)
previously recovered from stream sediment and till samples remain to be found.
Based on extremely positive indicator mineral chemistry, geophysics and drill
results to date, management believes that there is a high probability that
economic kimberlite pipes remain to be discovered in the project area. 


ITAPOTY Diamond Project

On July 6, 2011 the Company announced that it had signed an option agreement
("the Option") with Latin American Minerals Inc. ("LAT") (TSX VENTURE:LAT) and
certain of its Paraguayan subsidiaries to explore the Itapoty Diamond Project
area located in central Paraguay, South America. 


Work commenced immediately upon signing the Option. Data has been assimilated
and plans are in place to start a detailed ground geophysical survey shortly in
specific areas of interest. Additional surveying will be considered upon
completion and analysis of the initial geophysical survey. A stream
sediment/colluvium sampling program will also be conducted with the aim of
providing more precise detail for the source(s) of the numerous diamonds and
kimberlite indicator minerals previously retrieved from earlier sampling. A
drilling program will be planned for startup during the South American summer
months to follow up targets defined by the geophysical and sampling programs.
Previous work by LAT recovered 37 macro diamonds (1-2 mm) from the property.
Diamond distribution suggests local and multiple sources and surface features of
the diamonds indicate proximal sources. Regional and local geology supports
emplacement of diatremes and dykes.


Olivut has the option to earn 50% of the Itapoty Diamond Project by incurring
CDN$250,000 in expenses related to the property in the first 12 months and an
additional CDN$750,000 in the following 18 months. Olivut is the operator of the
project. 


Paraguay is a mining-friendly county that remains largely underexplored. It
depends primarily on agricultural production that comprises the vast majority of
the country's exports. Argentina and Brazil are its main trading partners. 


RIVERA Project

Based on the encouraging initial Phase 1 exploration results, a soil geochemical
program was completed over 23 magnetic and geomorphological anomalies. A total
of 92 samples have been submitted for enzyme leach analysis. Results are
pending. A detailed ground geophysical survey is currently underway over 17
targets to assist with drill target prioritization. Permits are in place and
land owner agreements have been finalized to allow drilling to commence once
prioritization is complete. 


The coincidence of anomalous stream sediment samples, geophysical targets,
favourable structures and the presence of ultramafic material intersected in one
of the 2010 shallow drill holes, all support the probability that kimberlite,
though currently undiscovered, exists in the project area. Surface features of
most of the recovered pyrope garnets to date indicate a probable proximal
source. The stable Rio de la Plata craton of Uruguay is consistent with cratonic
regions in southern Africa which provides a high degree of encouragement that
diamondiferous kimberlite bodies may be present in the region. 


Olivut is operator for the Rivera Project which is governed by the terms of an
Option Agreement with Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or "OMI") (TSX VENTURE:OMI).
The joint venture earn-in structure was established in order for Olivut to
evaluate the potential for kimberlites in this relatively unexplored region
without exposing shareholders to high front end costs. An additional CDN$332,204
must be spent by the Company by December 31, 2011 in order for Olivut to earn
51% of the project.


Olivut is a diamond exploration company with a 100% mineral interest in over
144,000 acres in the HOAM Project in Canada's Northwest Territories and the
options as described above with OMI and LAT. Please visit www.olivut.com for
