STAR DIAMOND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED CONVERTIBLE
NOTE PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING UP TO C$500,000
January 6, 2025, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada: Star Diamond Corporation (TSX: DIAM) (“Star
Diamond” or the “Company”) announces a non-brokered convertible note private placement to raise gross
proceeds of up to C$500,000 (the “Offering”).
The Offering will consist of up to C$500,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes
(the “Notes”). The Company shall also issue to subscribers one common share purchase warrant for every
C$0.02 of Notes purchased (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common
share of the Company at an exercise price of C$ 0.06 for a period of 2 years from the Closing. Simple
interest on the Notes will accrue on an annual basis at the rate of 8% per annum based on a 365-day year.
Principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Notes will be due and payable 24 months from the applicable
date of Closing (the “Maturity Date”).
Conversion to equity may occur under several circumstances prior to maturity including launch of an
equity financing in excess of C$2,000,000 or sale of the Company. This conversion will be affected at a
conversion premium as outlined in the Term Sheet provided to interested investors.
The Offering will be conducted in reliance upon available prospectus exemptions contained in National
Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, including the "accredited investor" and "family, friends and
business associates" exemptions.
Investors interested in participating in the Offering should contact Star Diamond Corporation by email

The Company advises that if you are an existing shareholder interested in participating in the Offering at
a minimum subscription amount of C $10,000, please contact Star Diamond Corporation by email at the
above email address to discuss exemptions available for you under existing securities laws.
The net proceeds raised from the sale of the Notes and the exercise of any Warrants will be used for general
working capital purposes as the Company continues discussions with possible investors to fund a pre-
feasibility study for the further development of the Fort à la Corne kimberlites.
The Offering is expected to close in one or more tranches, the first of which will occur on or before January
31, 2025. The Company may close concurrent or subsequent tranches of Notes pursuant to the Offering,
on or prior to February 28, 2025. The Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX. All securities issued in
connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from
the closing date of the Offering.

participate in the Offering, up to a maximum of 25% of the number of Notes to be sold thereunder.
The Corporation may also pay finders fees and issue broker warrants to qualified registrants assisting in
the Offering, in amounts yet to be determined.

the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and such securities may not be
