Petra Diamonds Limited

("Petra" or the "Company")

Initial Sales Results for 80% of Fourth Tender cycle for FY 2022

Petra has closed sales for approximately 80% of the volume of its Fourth
Tender cycle for FY 2022.  In these initial tender results, 589,168 carats
have been sold for a total of US$110.5 million, at an average price of US$188
per carat. No Exceptional Stones were sold as part of these initial sales.

Like-for-like rough diamond price increases on the six months to December 2021
are still being determined and will be announced when they become available.
 As a result, it is not yet possible to determine how much of the increase in
US$ price per carat is attributable to market movement versus product mix.

The sale of the remaining 20% of the volume of the Fourth Tender cycle, which
is of comparable product mix, is scheduled to close on or around 7 March 2022
and the full sales results of the Fourth Tender cycle will be released shortly
thereafter.

This announcement includes inside information as defined in Article 7 of the
Market Abuse Regulation No. 596/2014 and is being released on behalf of Petra
by the Company Secretary.

About Petra Diamonds Limited

Petra Diamonds is a leading independent diamond mining group and a supplier of
gem quality rough diamonds to the international market. The Company’s
portfolio incorporates interests in three underground producing mines in South
Africa (Finsch, Cullinan and Koffiefontein) and one open pit mine in Tanzania
(Williamson).

Petra's strategy is to focus on value rather than volume production by
optimising recoveries from its high-quality asset base in order to maximise
their efficiency and profitability. The Group has a significant resource base
of ca. 230 million carats, which supports the potential for long-life
operations.

Petra strives to conduct all operations according to the highest ethical
standards and only operates in countries which are members of the Kimberley
Process. The Company aims to generate tangible value for each of its
stakeholders, thereby contributing to the socio-economic development of its
host countries and supporting long-term sustainable operations to the benefit
of its employees, partners and communities.

Petra is quoted with a premium listing on the Main Market of the London Stock
