STAR DIAMOND CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

WINNING BRAND NAME FOR FORT À LA CORNE DIAMONDS

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, October 31, 2023 – Star Diamond Corporation (“Star Diamond” or the “Company”)

is pleased to announce the name of the winning diamond brand from over 1,000 names submitted in the “Name

our Diamonds” contest, which was launched on October 11, 2023.

The winning brand name Kīwētin, which is pronounced as “kee-way-tin”, is derived from the Cree Nation language

and translates into “north wind”. This name is highly symbolic of the Fort à la Cor ne project area and the

surrounding First Nations lands located in N orthern Saskatchewan, where the climate is often characterized by

strong winds from the north. The trademark application for Kīwētin Diamonds has been completed.

Ewan Mason, Interim President and CEO of Star Diamond said, “We are excited about the further potential of the

Fort à la Corne project and now that we have our own diamond brand, Kīwētin, we are confident that this diamond

brand will be seen globally as the hallmark for high purity, conflict free, Canadian Diamonds.”

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who participated in our naming contest and to Amy P.,

(formerly of Saskatoon) for her winning submission. Mr. Mason said, “The next year will be very busy while we

advance this massive project for the benefit of our shareholders and bring economic benefits to all people of the

Province of Saskatchewan.”
