VANCOUVER, B.C., January 24, 2025 /CNW/ (LUC - TSX, LUC - BSE, LUC - Nasdaq Stockholm)

Lucara Diamond Corp. ("Lucara" or the "Company") has applied for and today received conditional approval from Nasdaq Stockholm for admission to commence trading on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Sweden. The first day of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market is expected to be Friday, January 31, 2025. The Company's listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Botswana Stock Exchange will not be affected by this transition.

On December 20, 2024, Lucara announced that its Board of Directors had approved the transition of the listing venue of the Company's shares from Nasdaq Stockholm to Nasdaq First North Growth Market. Nasdaq Stockholm has conditionally approved both the Company's application to delist its shares from Nasdaq Stockholm as well as its application for admission to commence trading on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market. The transition is contingent on the Company fulfilling the requirement for distribution shares in accordance with the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Rulebook, making the necessary updates to its the website at least two days prior to the anticipated commencement of trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market, and further that no material events occur prior to the change in the listing venue which could trigger another assessment by Nasdaq Stockholm.

The last day for trading of the Company's shares on Nasdaq Stockholm expected to be January 30, 2025, and the first day for trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market is expected to be January 31, 2025.

The shareholders in Lucara are not required to take any measures in connection with the list change.

Following a transfer in the Swedish listing venue, the Company will continue to publish interim reports quarterly, which, as before, will be prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Lucara has a long history of operating in a public environment and will continue to communicate transparently with market participants.

The Board of Directors has determined that the transition to Nasdaq First North Growth Market is in the best interest of the Company, as its market capitalization aligns more closely with this exchange and creates a favourable environment for competing with peer companies. The transition further reinforces the Company's strategic focus on advancing its underground mining project.

On behalf of the Board,

William Lamb

President and Chief Executive Officer
