TORONTO, Feb 24, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Tsodilo Resources Limited (TSX Venture Exchange: TSD) are
pleased to announce an update on the Company's Ngamiland
diamond exploration program, including a further interpretation
of their geophysical survey and reverse circulation drilling results
on the A37 and A12 kimberlites.

.
The gravity and magnetic data from ground surveys over the A37
kimberlite are interpreted to indicate that there is a major
kimberlitic crater and at least two closely associated subordinate
craters with a number of kimberlite intrusive centres. It is
therefore similar to many of the world's large kimberlites in being
a composite body. We estimate that the main A37
sediment-filled crater is some 1000m in length by 500 to 600m
in width and that the total surface area, including the subsidiary
basins to the east and north, is 80 -120 hectares. While further
drilling will be needed to delineate the body with greater
accuracy, it seems as though this will be the second or third
biggest kimberlite found in the Republic of Botswana, the largest
producer of diamonds, by value, in the world.
