About Rockwell Diamonds:

Rockwell is engaged in the business of operating and developing alluvial diamond deposits. The Company also
evaluates consolidation opportunities that have the potential to expand its mineral resources and production
profile and provide accretive value to the Company.

Rockwell is known for producing large, high quality gemstones comprising a major portion of its diamond
recoveries. This is enhanced through a beneficiation joint venture that enables Rockwell to participate in the
profits on the sale of the polished and certain re-traded diamonds, which are not beneficiated.

Rockwell has set a strategic goal to become a mid-tier diamond production company. In pursuit of this goal the
Company has embarked on a strategy to grow its Middle Orange River (“MOR”) operational base and minimise
production and recovery volatility by setting a medium term target to process 500,000m 3 of gravels per month from
its MOR operations.

Rockwell’s common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the JSE Limited under the symbol “RDI”.
