TRANS HEX SIGNS JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT WITH ENDIAMA                            
Trans Hex has concluded a prospecting joint venture agreement with the Angolan  
State Diamond Organisation (Endiama), together with certain minority partners,  
resulting in Trans Hex Angola securing a 33% interest in the Luana Concession.  
The signing of the agreement sees the successful conclusion of the conversion of
the current service agreement into a full scale joint venture agreement.        
In terms of the previous service agreement Trans Hex completed a dredge sampling
program on the Luana River which produced encouraging results.  A detailed bulk 
sampling program will now be implemented whereafter a mine feasibility study    
will be presented to the project partners.                                      
The Luana Concession is located 80 km North East of the town of Lucapa in the   
Angolan province of Luande Norte.  The 724.5 km2 concession includes a portion  
of the Luana River to the south of its confluence with the Chuimbe River.  It is
adjacent to the Luarica concession in which Trans Hex has a 35% interest.       
Llewellyn Delport, Managing Director, Trans Hex Group commented as follows:     
"The signing of the Luana joint venture agreement further emphasises the        
confidence which our Angolan partners have shown in us.  Our working            
relationship with Endiama started some four years ago and continues to          
strengthen as evidenced by the signing of this agreement".
