Rockwell issues first, second and third quarter results of Fiscal 2019


April 18, 2019, Toronto. Rockwell Diamonds Inc. ("Rockwell" or the "Company") (NEX: RDI.H; JSE:
RDI) today filed its outstanding quarterly filings in respect of first, second and third quarter 2019 results
and provided a further update as to the developments with respect to the status of liquidation of its three
subsidiaries in South Africa. These subsidiaries are Rockwell Resources RSA (Pty) Ltd (Rockwell
RSA), HC van Wyk Diamonds Ltd (HC van Wyk) and Saxendrift Mine (Pty) Ltd (Saxendrift).
Material elements include:

      •     The financial results presented included the financial statements of the Company but did
            not consolidate the three subsidiaries in South Africa and the two subsidiaries in Cayman
            Islands. The Company no longer has control over the three South African and two Cayman
            Islands subsidiaries sufficient to consolidate under IFRS,
      •     As the Company is not trading, the financial results primarily reflect the holding costs of the
            Company which remains under financial duress as no income will be forthcoming from the
            liquidation process of the three South African subsidiaries. The Company is in a final
            dormant phase of its life cycle and reflects a nine-month comprehensive loss of $0.214M,
            which results from a non-cash profit on deconsolidation of the Cayman Islands subsidiaries
            being set off against administration expenses and finance charges on debt.
      •     The Company is awaiting, after addressing all outstanding compliance issues, an offer to
            take the Company private. The debenture holders in the Company have indicated that they
            will not seek repayment and will surrender their debentures. On consideration of the offer
            and sanction by shareholders, the Company will be delisted in an orderly fashion.

About Rockwell Diamonds

from being in liquidation since November 2016, and awaiting final liquidation proceedings towards the
end of 2019.

Rockwell’s common shares trade on NEX under the symbol “RDI.H” and on the JSE Ltd under the
