Mr. Kolebaba has served as President and CEO of Diamonds North Resources Ltd since the Company's inception in 2002. Mr. Kolebaba's aggressive management style, innovative approach to exploration, ability to build strong partnerships with peers and the investment community has lead Diamonds North to become one of the prominent Canadian diamond explorers.

Mr. Kolebaba has been actively exploring for minerals since the 1980's and has experience with diamonds, gold, silver and base metals. Prior to joining Diamonds North Mr. Kolebaba has held positions with BHP Billiton, Cominco Ltd. and the Northgate Group of companies. Mr. Kolebaba's passion for diamonds began in the 1990's working under the likes of Rory Moore, Hugo Dummet & Charles Fipke at the Ekati Diamond Mine, where his experience ranged from early exploration to feasibility studies for the Panda & Koala kimberlite pipes. During this time, 123 kimberlites were discovered, and more than 10 kimberlites were bulk sampled. In 1997, Mr. Kolebaba then initiated exploration outside of the Ekati Project for BHP and became involved in regional exploration in Canada and abroad managing diamond exploration activity in Eastern Canada and exploring for diamonds in China, India, Russia, Botswana, the Middle East, Sweden and Australia.
