Debut Signs LOI for Option on Fletcher Gold Claims

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 23, 2012) - Debut Diamonds Inc. (the "Company" or "Debut"), (CNSX:DDI) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter Of Intent ("LOI") with Fletcher Nickel Inc. ("Fletcher") (Canadian Unlisted Board: FL) to enter into an Option Agreement (the "Option") whereunder Debut would be entitled to earn up to a 65% joint venture interest in the claims held by Fletcher south of the Texmont Mine covering the Kirkland Lake Break extension south of Timmins, adjacent to the recent SGX gold discovery (the "Property"). The Property comprises 65 contiguous unpatented mining claims totaling 730 claim units covering an area of 116.5 square kilometers.

The terms of the proposed Option would require Debut to spend $2,500,000 on the Property by December 31, 2014 (with $500,000 to be spent by December 31, 2012) to earn an initial 50% interest in the Property (excluding nickel minerals, which shall remain the property of Fletcher). An additional 15% interest in the Property could be earned by Debut underwriting the entire cost of a feasibility study on any deposit found (excluding nickel mineral deposits) within the ensuing 5 years, provided that Debut maintains the Option in good standing by also paying Fletcher $100,000 per annum commencing January 1, 2013.

Chris Meraw, President of Debut Diamonds stated that, "Although the drilling crews are making excellent progress in their hunt for diamonds at Nakina, commencement of Debut's exploration program was substantially delayed by the necessity of first concluding consultations and an exploration agreement followed by archaeological reconnaissance with affected First Nations. In the result, it became necessary to develop a contingency plan to ensure that exploration expenditures previously renounced to the subscribers of flow-through shares of Debut would be completed in 2012, as contracted. The opportunity to work with Fletcher on its substantial Timmins area gold properties will in turn provide Debut with an excellent opportunity to hedge its exploration efforts in the same region of the Province."
