trading halt

GRAEME HUTTON
The directors and staff of Kimberley Diamond Company NL (ASX: KIM, AIM: KDC) are sad to advise that Graeme Hutton (63) died last night in Broome, Western Australia.
Graeme was a true adventurer and one of the finest prospecting geologists ever seen in Western Australia. He had a wide and diverse circle of friends, matched by a wide and diverse range of interests embodying minerals, history, aquaculture, fauna and flora, amongst others. He had a great sense of humour, was a fine raconteur of bush stories and will be greatly and sadly missed by all of us who worked and played with him for so long.
This sad event has nothing to do with the trading halt called by the Company this morning.
