Discussions Ended with De Beers Canada Exploration
===========================================================================
Mr. Glen Alston, President of Rhonda Corporation announces that the Company
has ended discussions with De Beers Canada Exploration Inc. regarding the
Knife property without agreement being reached.
Rhonda has been in discussions with De Beers on negotiating an option and
joint venture agreement since April 2000 relating to the right to explore
and develop Rhonda's Knife property consisting of one claim.
Rhonda's management considers that the discussions have not moved forward
in a reasonable and timely manner and that in the best interest of the
shareholders they should be ended.
The Knife property contains the Knife kimberlite pipe, discovered in May
2000. De Beers drilled three holes into the pipe in June 2000 at which
time it was found to be significantly diamondiferous. A further 6 holes
were drilled by De Beers in May 2001. Rhonda has not reviewed the results
of these holes.
As previously announced last week, Rhonda has reached an agreement with
Teck Cominco Limited on an option and joint venture to explore and develop
Rhonda's Inulik claims adjacent to the Knife property.
WARNING: the Company relies upon litigation protection for "forward
looking" statements
