Lithoquest Diamonds Commences 2018 Drill Program on the North Kimberley Diamond Project

Identifies Three New High Priority Targets

VANCOUVER, B.C., July 31, 2018 – Lithoquest Diamonds Inc. (TSX-V: LDI) (“Lithoquest”, or the

“Company”) today announced that it has initiated the 2018 drill program on its 100% owned North

Kimberley Diamond Project located in Western Australia.

A truck mounted diamond drill rig has arrived on site and has been deployed to Target 702 where the

Company recovered micro-diamonds from a small sample of outcrop (see April 2, 2018 news release).

Lithoquest anticipates drill testing targets 701 and 702 during the program. The drill rig is configured to

recover HQ and NQ sized core suitable for geological interpretation and diamond analysis, with the

results to be released as they become available.

In addition, field work currently underway on the property has identified three new high-priority kimberlite

targets. The targets are characterized by coincident ground geophysical anomalies and are supported by

historical results which include kimberlite indicator minerals as well as diamonds. An application for a

Program of Work to drill the new targets has been submitted to the Western Australia Department of

Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. Field work to identify additional targets of interest will continue

through August.
