SALES AND PRODUCTION UPDATE - APRIL 2014

Trans Hex is pleased to provide an update in respect of its latest diamond sales and production.

The Group’s March 2014 tender sale of South African production amounted to R106.5 million (5 886 carats
at an average price of US$1 684 per carat and exchange rate of R10.75 / US$).

Nine single stones were sold for more than US$10 000 per carat, including one stone of 22.5 carats from
Baken Mine which sold for over US$49 000 per carat.

Somiluana Mine in Angola (“Somiluana”), in which Trans Hex holds a 33% stake, realized a total of US$2.31
million for its February sale (5 120 carats at an average price of US$451 per carat).

These sales reflect continued positive momentum in the rough diamond market and strong demand for Trans
Hex's production.

Production at the Group’s South African operations amounted to 52 081 carats for the year ended 31 March
2014. 21 849 carats were produced in the first six months of the year (April 2013 to September 2013) and
30 232 carats were produced in the six-month period from October 2013 to March 2014.

Production at Somiluana amounted to 72 041 carats for the year ending 31 March 2014. 35 779 carats were
produced in the period April 2013 to September 2013 and 36 262 carats were produced in the six-month
period from October 2013 to March 2014.

The next sale of South African production will be held in May 2014. Somiluana conducts monthly sales.

The Group expects to release its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2014 on or about 3 June
2014.
