   Significant potential NPV and IRR upside using higher resource grade of 165cpht and US$270/ct
   Target of 120,000 carats production via surface mining in first 3 years
   Target of over 1 million carats mined in estimated 16 year mine life
   Low capital expenditure estimated at US$20 million to bring mine into production
   Funding primarily by debt structures being targeted

?We are delighted at the positive response received from various stakeholders within Sierra Leone. There is a clear will to support our efforts to build the next diamond mine in Sierra Leone, which can offer a significant and positive contribution to the post-Ebola social and economic reconstruction. We look forward to the full support of the Sierra Leonean Government in assisting our efforts.?
