MANO AND GOLDEN PROSPECT DISCOVER DIAMONDS AND INDICATOR MINERALS IN THEIR
SONFON LICENCES IN SIERRA LEONE

* 5 diamonds weighing 0.841 carats from a 250kg sample in new diamond area
* Diamond inclusion chrome spinels and kimberlitic ilmenites recovered
* Potential new diamondiferous kimberlite cluster in Sierra Leone targeted

Mano River Resources Inc. ("Mano" or the "Company") announces the discovery of
diamonds and indicator minerals from within the Sonfon joint venture licence
package in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Mano's CEO, Dr Tom Elder comments: "We are excited about the discovery of both
diamonds and indicator minerals in the Sonfon licences. Reconnaissance work has
confirmed the presence of commercial sized diamonds and with the recovery of
kimberlite indicator minerals, the Company is perhaps on track to discover a new
diamond-bearing kimberlite cluster in Sierra Leone."

The Sonfon licences are also currently the subject of a non-diamond Joint
Venture with Golden Star Resources Ltd, which focuses on a 3km long by 300m wide
gold in soil anomaly defined by Mano and from which initial trenching by Mano
has returned a best intersect of 7.3m@7.4g/t (see http://www.manoriver.com/mano/
investor/nr/nr0305_17feb.pdf)

Programme results

The Sonfon licences are located in the centre of Sierra Leone and as such are at
the heart of the West African Craton. Mano was aware of historic reports from
local gold miners of the recovery of diamonds in their pans. An initial single
stream sample, weighing approximately 250kg, was collected and processed for
kimberlite indicator minerals. Although the area is heavily weathered and no
indicators were recovered from the sample, it yielded five macrodiamonds that
weighed a total of 0.841 carats. All of the diamonds were recovered in the
coarse size fraction, with two being over 4mm in size.

The diamonds were individually weighed, measured and described by John Gurney's
Laboratory, Mineral Services, in Cape Town (Table 1). One diamond is classified
as a clear white octahedral gemstone weighing 0.315-carats. Two other diamonds
are also classified as white stones and a further two diamonds are described as
brown in colour. The brown stones are characterized by internal cleavages and
inclusions, which implies that they might not have been subjected to significant
transport. On the basis of these results it was decided to undertake
reconnaissance stream sampling throughout the two Sonfon licences.

Some 58 stream samples were collected and processed for kimberlite indicator
minerals. Three samples yielded kimberlitic chrome spinels and a further three
yielded kimberlitic ilmenite. The spinels were submitted for microprobe
analysis, the results of which indicate that they have compositions that plot
within the World Diamond Inclusion Field (as defined by Fipke et. al. 1995). The
recovery of these indicator minerals suggests that kimberlites may be present
within the licences and, furthermore, the chemistry of the chrome spinels,
coupled with the proximity of the five macrodiamonds, implies that any
kimberlites are likely to be diamond-bearing.

The joint venture has undertaken follow-up stream and loam sampling over the two
anomalous areas and these samples have been dispatched to South Africa for
analysis. It is hoped that the results will isolate the source areas, over which
ground geophysics can be focused in the dry season, to identify possible drill
targets.

Mano's Qualified Person responsible for supervising the exploration programme is
Karl Smithson, who holds a B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Geology from Kingston
University in the UK and is a Fellow of the Institution of Materials, Minerals
and Mining.

Mano's diamond portfolio in Sierra Leone

Mano River has a number of licences in Sierra Leone for both gold and diamonds.
It has discovered an extensive and significantly diamond bearing kimberlite dyke
zone in its Kono diamond field licences. These licences are adjacent to the
Koidu diamond pipe mine of Koidu Holdings, where a 10,000-carat parcel of
diamonds recently sold for $225 per carat. Grades of up to 94 cpht have been
recovered from preliminary mini-bulk sampling of the dykes by Mano and the
feasibility of mining the dykes will be investigated. The Company has a 9,700km2
reconnaissance licence in the south east quadrant of Sierra Leone on which it
has recently signed a US$3.3m joint venture with BHP Billiton for an aggressive
diamond exploration programme.

Kimberley process

Since the implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification scheme, Sierra
Leone has seen its diamond exports for the year 2003 rise to 500,000 carats with
a value of $76million. With the continuing formalization of the diamond mining
industry, and increasing investment in diamond exploration in Sierra Leone, the
diamond production and export volumes are forecast to continue upwards and may
exceed $100million in value for 2004.

About Mano

Mano is a well-funded exploration company focused on the discovery of gold and
diamond deposits in the Archaean terrain of the highly prospective,
under-explored, West African Mano River Union (MRU) countries of Sierra Leone,
Liberia and Guinea. Mano considers the region has the potential to develop into
a world class gold and diamond-mining province. The Company now has over
25,000km2 under licence, close to one million ounces of gold in resource, a
cluster of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and joint ventures in place with
Golden Star, BHP Billiton and Trans Hex Group which, if they are all fully
exercised, will involve a total of over US$11m in third party expenditure. With
increasing market recognition of the recent positive evolution in the regional
politics, Mano is starting to capitalise on its position as the pre-eminent gold
and diamond explorer in the sub-region.

Summarising the drilling results to date, holes YDD1 to YDD19 inclusive all
intersected gold mineralisation, demonstrating that the zone centred on the "UN
Pit", (which was first encountered in holes YDD1 and YDD2 with intersections
grading 7.77g/t over 14m and 15.99g over 9.07m, respectively, see release http:/
/www.manoriver.com/mano/investor/nr/nr0409_07june.pdf) has a minimum strike
length of 600m. A potential further zone is indicated by the intersection
grading 2.69g/t over 9m in hole YDD22, located 1,000m north of the UN Pit.
Assays from missing samples relating to the lower parts of holes YDD14 and
YDD25, and hole YDD26, are still awaited.

In order to complete the pre-agreed Joint Venture work programme, the balance of
the 2004 Phase 1 budget will be devoted to Golden Star funding a comprehensive
soil grid geochemistry survey over all the Joint Venture licences, at Pampana,
Sonfon and Nimini, in order to assist in the planning of the next phase of
drilling.

Several companies now actively exploring in Sierra Leone have expressed an
interest in joining Mano in providing financial support for the setting up of a
sample preparation lab in Sierra Leone, the aim being to avoid the severe delays
which have been experienced in getting core shipments to the lab in Ghana.

Background

All sample preparation, crushing and fire assaying procedures of 30g sub-samples
pulverised to 95% at minus 100 microns (150#) is carried out at the TransWorld
laboratories in Ghana. In addition to Golden Star's Quality Assurance-Quality
Control (QA-QC) programme of duplicates, blanks and certified standards, Mano
has implemented its own QA-QC programme with repeat splits of approximately 1 in
50 core samples. As yet, there is insufficient geological information to enable
true widths to be calculated with confidence and, furthermore, no assays have
been cut. The duplicate channel sample data have been assessed and the
repeatability of samples and the variance of analytical results are well within
acceptable limits. Mano's Qualified Person responsible for supervising the
exploration programme is Greg Nowak, who holds an MSc degree from the Mackay
School of Mines, University of Nevada-Reno, USA, is a Fellow of the Society of
Economic Geologists and a Member of the Geological Society of America.

About Yirisen

The Yirisen gold prospect is located within Mano's Pampana Exclusive Prospecting
and Exploration Licences (EPLs), 150km east of Freetown, which target
crustal-scale gold-mineralised shear zones across 140km2 of the southern end of
the Sula Mountains greenstone gold belt. The EPLs include stretches of the
Pampana River, one of Sierra Leone's richest and oldest alluvial gold mining
systems. The Yirisen gold system, as defined by a combination of mapped sites of
in situ mineralization, artisanal workings and soil geochemical anomalies (see
http://www.manoriver.com/mano/projects/gold_sl_pampana.shtml), trends north-east
and has a current inferred strike length of 3.75 km, open in both directions.
The Pampana Licences host additional gold targets at Kalmoro and Masamank, 1km
and 8km to the east and south west of Yirisen respectively.

About Mano / Golden Star Joint Venture

The joint venture covers Mano's portfolio of gold properties in Sierra Leone,
comprising Pampana, Sonfon and Nimini licences (see http://www.manoriver.com/
mano/investor/nr/nr0322_25nov.pdf). Under the terms of the joint venture, Golden
Star is committed to investing $1 million by end December 2004 and must make an
aggregate investment of US$6m over a staged four-year period in order to earn a
51% interest in Mano's gold licence portfolio in Sierra Leone. Golden Star may
earn a final equity interest of up to either 71% or 85% if Mano does not
co-fund, respectively, the Feasibility Study nor mine development. The Sonfon
Property is also the subject of a pre-existing Joint Venture between Mano and
Golden Prospect Plc (AIM:GOL), a diversified Investment Fund specialising in the
natural resources sector.

About Mano

Mano is a well-funded exploration company focused on the discovery of gold and
diamond deposits in the Archaean terrain of the highly prospective,
under-explored, West African Mano River Union (MRU) countries of Sierra Leone,
Liberia and Guinea. Mano considers the region has the potential to develop into
a world class gold and diamond-mining province. The Company now has over
25,000km2 under licence, close to one million ounces of gold in resource, a
cluster of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and joint ventures in place with
Golden Star, BHP Billiton, Trans Hex Group and Navasota which, if they are all
fully exercised, will involve a total of over US$13m in third party expenditure.
With increasing market recognition of the recent positive evolution in the
regional politics, Mano is starting to capitalise on its position as the
pre-eminent gold and diamond explorer in the sub-region.

SH

Pity you didn't post whilst the SP was on the slide. Funny old thing, bit of a rise and Hey Presto! You're back.

cheers SH,graphs look interesting but don't have a clue what they mean-lol,will have a better look in morning-just got in!!!
Am i right in thinking that the only way mana will rise substantialy is if they actually find a workable site?If they do,does that mean they will require more funding to set this up?
been a long day and hang over in morning no doubt
mick

still going up

In the Results in the summer...the company did indicate that more news on drilling will be announced towards end of the year - may explain the recent rise in price.

Yes SH but the volume today was higher than normal without any official news........so would it be fair to think that news has been leaked and if so when news is officially released how far would it rise,the share price that is? I would predict around the 20p mark meself!

I think the 17 pence resistance will be a tough nut to crack....depends on what kind of drilling news comes through....News on more than one joint venture should be with us before the end of the year.

MANO RIVER AND CROWN DIAMONDS CONCLUDE A HEADS OF AGREEMENT FOR KIMBERLITE
DIAMOND PRODUCTION IN SIERRA LEONE


Diamond production planned in 2005 from the Lion Kimberlite Dykes

Experienced kimberlite dyke miner to earn 51% through US$3m investment

High grades (up to +/- 1 carat per tonne) and high values (+/- $200 per
carat) anticipated

Mano River Resources Inc. ('Mano') and Crown Diamonds Ltd. ('Crown') announce
the conclusion of a Heads of Agreement to enter a Joint Venture for the
production of diamonds from the underground mining of diamond-bearing kimberlite
dykes (the 'Lion' dykes) defined within Mano's three contiguous licence areas
that cover 260km2 across the world-famous Kono diamond district ('Kono
Licences') of Sierra Leone.

Mano's CEO, Dr Tom Elder comments: 'Results to date indicate that a very
significant diamond resource hosted by kimberlite dykes potentially exists
within Mano's Kono licences. Crown Diamonds are the pre-eminent kimberlite dyke
developers, with four existing dyke mining operations in the Republic of South
Africa, and represent the perfect technical partner for Mano to ensure the rapid
development and mining of the Lion kimberlites. The joint venture with Crown
represents yet another significant development for Mano as the Company now looks
forward to cash flow from hard rock kimberlite diamond mining.'

Basis of the deal
Though an investment of US$3m over 3 years Crown will earn a 51% interest in
Mano's 100% owned subsidiary, The Kono Diamond Corporation Ltd, which will hold
the three Kono licences. Thereafter Mano has the option to co-fund to maintain
its interest at the 49% level. The agreement between Mano and Crown envisages
Crown as Operator moving directly into underground mine construction and
production in 2005, based on:

Crown's technical expertise in the underground mining of kimberlite
dykes
Mapping which has defined at least ten kimberlite dykes of up to 6km in
length each
High grade of 94 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht) from mini bulk samples
of dyke 'Lion-5'
High carat value (+/- $200) anticipated, based on current production
results from adjacent Koidu pipe mine
Extensive artisanal mining from the weathered portion of dykes
High stability of the granite host rocks which should limit mining
dilution
Potential for extensions to the Lion dykes and making new kimberlite
pipe discoveries
Strong support from the Sierra Leone Government Ministries for
commercial production

About the Kono diamond district
The Kono diamond district has been extensively worked primarily by alluvial
miners since diamonds were first discovered in the 1930s and is reported to have
produced 65-70% of Sierra Leone's historical diamond carat output. By 1969,
historical production from alluvial sources in the Kono area was estimated at 9
million carats (Hall P.K., 1969; The Diamond Fields of Sierra Leone). The
district is the source of the world's third largest gem diamond found to date;
namely the 969 carat 'Star of Sierra Leone'. In 2002, Reuters reported news
issued by the Government Gold and Diamond Office and Ministry of Mines that a
110 carat stone had been discovered and officially exported. It sold for
US$958,000 (+/-US$10,000 per carat) and was said to have been discovered within
Mano's Kono licences.

About Crown Diamonds
Crown Diamonds (
www.crowndiamond.com.au
) is a specialist underground diamond
mining company that anticipates production of 170,000cts in 2005 and 240,000cts
by 2008, from its existing high grade underground kimberlite dyke mining
operations in the Republic of South Africa.

Results from Mano's Kono licences to date
Exploration results from Mano's Kono licences have previously been reported by
Mano and are summarised as follows and in Table 1:

A grade of 94cpht was obtained for a sample of the Lion-5 dyke, which
has been mapped for a distance of approximately 1km. Sampling and historical
mapping show that Lion-5 is open along strike and represents part of the
westerly extension of the adjacent Koidu kimberlite pipes and dykes mine
currently in commercial production by Koidu Holdings SA.

The Lion-1 kimberlite dyke has been mapped discontinuously along strike
for approximately 5km. As previously reported a mini-bulk sample of 1.7t
yielded 22 diamonds weighing 1.1 carats for a minimum grade of 64.7cpht.

The Lion-2 kimberlite dyke has been mapped discontinuously for 6km and
three small 30kg grab samples yielded a total of 17 macrodiamonds and a mini
bulk sample has yielded a grade of 46cpht.

Eight further kimberlite dykes have been identified elsewhere throughout
the Kono licences, designated the Lion-3 to Lion-10 occurrences, all of
which have reportedly been exploited for diamonds at surface by artisans

Float samples of diatreme facies kimberlite, suggestive of an
undiscovered pipe or blow, have previously been found and a stream sample
collected in the suspected source area returned abundant ilmenite and
supporting garnet. A number of these garnets are classified as G10 in
composition after probing

Four loam blocks covering high interest stream sample anomalies have
been sampled and the results received. Abundant garnet, and ilmenite with
supporting chromite, chrome diopside and diamond suggest that additional
kimberlites are likely to be discovered

Table 1 - Results of Mini-Bulk Samples

Recovered Diamonds Total Weight Grade
Dyke Sample +0.5mm +1mm +2mm +3mm +4mm Total (carats) (cpht)
Lion-1 50017 1 11 4 5 1 22 1.1 65

In some cases mini bulk samples were unavoidably mixed with surrounding country
rock material, resulting in a reduction in the reported grade. Each sample was
washed and jigged on site to recover diamonds in the +0.71 to -2.0mm and +2.0mm
size fractions. All of the diamonds recovered from these samples were weighed
and described by the Cape Town laboratory of Mineral Services Ltd.

MANO RIVER MAKES KIMBERLITE DISCOVERY IN LIBERIA

New kimberlite body discovered in its Mineral Cooperation Agreement (MCA)

Likely source of the abundant G10 garnets recovered in sampling

Detailed loam sampling block completed

Ground magnetics and gravity surveys planned

Mano River Resources Inc. ('Mano') is pleased to announce that it has discovered
a new kimberlite in its MCA licence in western Liberia, just four months after
commencing exploration in the area. The MCA, covering 15,000km2, is a
contributory joint venture between the Government of Liberia (30%) and Mano
(70%) and incorporates the rights to explore for diamonds, gold and base metals.

On April 5th 2005, Mano reported (see:
http://www.manoriver.com/s/

NewsReleases.asp) high interest garnet recoveries from a number of MCA
reconnaissance samples and on the basis of these results commenced follow-up
investigations. A detailed loam-sampling block was recently completed and early
results from Mano's laboratory in Monrovia identified one specific area of
interest where abundant ilmenite and garnet had been recovered. Shallow pits dug
over these sample sites intersected highly decomposed kimberlite at a depth of
just over 1m.

Considering the sampling results in the context of the local geomorphology, it
is considered likely that more than one kimberlite is present in the immediate
vicinity, so Mano is in the process of extending the loam sample coverage. In
addition, ground gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys will be undertaken in
the near future in an effort to fast-track future discoveries, as well as
provide information on the surface area of the kimberlite(s). All kimberlites
discovered will be analysed for diamond potential. However, based on the
excellent garnet chemistry and the close proximity of artisanal diamond
workings, Mano considers the diamond potential of this new kimberlite area to be
high.

Mano's President and CEO, Dr. Tom Elder, comments: 'The early discovery of
kimberlite in our MCA demonstrates Mano's technical capability and justifies our
belief that this part of the Archaean Man Craton is highly prospective for
diamonds. The MCA extends over 15,000 square kilometres of this unexplored
terrain and we have only scratched the surface in terms of its potential.'

Elsewhere in Liberia, Mano is currently embarking on detailed ground geophysical
surveys over its diamondiferous kimberlite cluster at Weasua, in joint venture
with Trans Hex Group. In addition, in Sierra Leone Mano is pursuing anomalous
reconnaissance results in its 9,000 square kilometre REPL licence in partnership
with BHP Billiton, while in the Kono area preparations have commenced for
underground bulk sampling of Mano's high-grade diamond-bearing kimberlite dykes,
in partnership with Crown Diamonds.

About Mano

Mano is a well-funded exploration company focused on the discovery of diamond
and gold deposits in the Archaean terrain of the highly prospective,
under-explored, West African Mano River Union countries of Liberia, Sierra
Leone, and Guinea. Mano considers the region has the potential to develop into a
world-class diamond and gold-mining province. The Company has over 25,000km2
under licence, close to one million ounces of gold in resource, a cluster of
diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in Liberia and joint ventures in place with BHP
Billiton, Trans Hex Group, Crown (Petra) Diamonds, Golden Star and Navasota,
which, if they are all fully exercised, would see a total of over US$16m in
third party expenditure on Mano's properties. With increasing market recognition
of the recent positive evolution in the regional politics, Mano is starting to
capitalise on its position as the pre-eminent diamond and gold explorer in the
sub-region.

Guardian report today says traders expect Mano to split Diamond and Gold assets into separate companies....

Perhaps Monday.

Great news at last, upwards from now on:

MANO RIVER DISCOVERS TWO MORE KIMBERLITES IN WESTERN LIBERIA



Two new kimberlites discovered in Mano's Mineral Cooperation Agreement
(MCA) licence



Ground Magnetics and Gravity survey completed with encouraging results



Detailed soil sampling and pitting ongoing to define additional
discoveries



Mano River Resources Inc. ('Mano') is pleased to announce the discovery of two
new kimberlites in its Mineral Cooperation Agreement (MCA) licence. The MCA is
a 70:30 contributory Joint Venture between Mano and the Government of Liberia
and covers an area of some 15,000 square kilometres in the west of the country.



The two new kimberlites, designated Alpha-2 and Alpha-3 were discovered through
pitting of kimberlite indicator mineral anomalies generated through detailed
soil sampling. Alpha-2 is located only 350m to the north of the previously
reported Alpha-1 kimberlite discovery, whereas Alpha-3 is located some 10km to
the south. In both cases, the areas surrounding the kimberlites have been
subjected to extensive surficial artisanal diamond mining. Pitting indicates
that Alpha-3 is potentially a kimberlite pipe, although further work needs to be
done to confirm its dimensions, as well as those of Alpha-2.



Exploration in the MCA has recently focussed on detailed soil sampling, which
has been completed over seven blocks measuring 1km by 1km each. These samples
are currently being processed through Mano's diamond laboratory in Monrovia and
results are available for four of the blocks, all of which show abundant
indicator anomalies suggestive of new kimberlites. As part of the exploration
programme, detailed ground magnetics and gravity surveys were completed over two
blocks that host the Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 kimberlites. Encouraging results were
generated that will be investigated in the New Year. In addition, ground
magnetic surveys will be completed over all the other sampling blocks, including
the Alpha-3 area.



Mano's President and CEO, Dr. Tom Elder, comments: 'The continued rapid rate of
kimberlite discoveries from this MCA area not only demonstrates the strength and
expertise of Mano's technical team, but also highlights the vast potential that
this area has to eventually yield an economic diamond mine. On the basis of our
results, we are confident that more discoveries will be made.'

RNS item today has good gold grades. They're going to fast-track this particular project to definitive feasibility study. Good News!!!

MANA is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Their joint venture with Petra Diamonds should be producing diamonds in June.

agree Arf, surprised so few on this thread.

MANA will turn into a class act with a lot of demand and two divisions gold and diamonds, both producing, or one sold on. Buy the shares would be a wise move.

Anyone think the drop in the SP is anything other than the battering taken by minerals as a whole?
