| Strategy We are looking to progress our cornerstone projects in Lesotho from development to full production, adding to a portfolio of high value diamond assets across Africa. During 2011 we secured the rights to the high-potential Lemphane and Motete diamondiferous kimberlites which are located in one of the most prolific diamond producing regions in the world. Positive results obtained from our initial sampling programmes triggered further exploration work, which returned similarly encouraging results, and we now have the primary objective of progressing these projects towards full production in a timely and cost efficient manner. It is our intention to utilise early free cash flow to fund further exploratory work on our assets other and other potential projects. Our business plan will encompass the entire diamond value chain with the aim of optimising shareholder value in an industry presently characterised by scarcity of new supply. |
