("De Beers") relating to the Fort a la Corne Joint Venture ("FALC JV"). De Beers is seeking to set aside the previously announced Voting Agreement dated October 31, 2005 and to restrain the Management Committee of the FALC JV from approving the 2006 exploration program and budget.

Shore believes the action to be entirely without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claims made by De Beers.
