An alle Kimberliten: Hier mal Fakten und keine Spekulationen oder Weibergewaesch. Neuer Statusbericht von DIA 27/05/2008.
Meine Zusammenfassung (nicht vollstaendig):
1.§Plooysburg hat sich als nicht wirtschaftlich erwiesen. Das Projekt ist abgehakt.
2.§ Kongo Es wird ueber Konzessionen fuer 2 Gebiete verhandelt. Es scheint mir schon fortgeschritten zu sein, da bereits ueber eine Kongolesische Tochterfirma (51% gehalten von DIA) nachgedacht wird.
3.§ Parallel zu Kongo: Vaal-Tal und Orang-Tal Gebiete liegen angrenzend zu schon Diamanten produzierenden Feldern. Das soll die Chancen auf Diamantenfunde erhoehen. Sollte dies klappen waere man in den gruenen Zahlen bis Weihnachten 2008.
4.§Lehmann sagt ganz klar, dass Geld da ist um ueber mindestens ein Jahr weiter zu machen (Das waere Mai 2009). Alles andere sind Milchmaedchenrechnungen.
Viele Gruesse an alle und lasst Euch nicht verunsichern.

Central Kimberley Diamonds Ltd. Status Report May 2008-DRC-
We have concluded a partnership agreement with our Congolese partner Augustin Kamonda for the 2 concessions on the Longishemo and Tshikapa rivers. We will sign the agreement in the beginning of June. The next stage is to set up a Congolese registered company in which we will hold a 51% interest. This company will be called CK Congo P/L. Once this is done the concessions will be transferred to the new company and we will begin our exploration program. We are dependent on the legal system in the Congo and the Government Department of Mines on the timing of the transfer. As this is out of our control all we can do in the meantime is plan our next steps. The program will begin with a small scale sampling and a drilling to determine the extent of the gravels on the river banks. Once we have done this we can proceed to a larger bulk sample to determine the quality and grade (number of cts per ton) of the diamonds. With this information we can decide on a pilot plant to test the viability of a full scale operation. Our concessions are on the Tshikapa and Londgoshemo rivers. These are both in the Angolan craton district of the DRC. Rivers in this area flow north from Angola into the DRC and have been a source of diamonds for many decades. There are also kimberlite pipes in the area that can also contribute to the concentration of diamonds in the alluvial gravels on the concessions.Once we are established in the area as we have become in the Kimberley area we anticipate further opportunities to come our way. I will be sending a few photos of my recent trip to the sight in the next few weeks.
Plooysburg- We have treated approx 15% of the gravels from Pit 3 and recovered a couple more diamonds, .77 ct and .85 carat. Again this is too low a background recovery to indicate an economic source. The progress is being hampered by rains but the program should be finished by the end of July. As we dig deeper we have a better chance of finding more and larger diamonds.Vaal River Project- Our negotiations are nearly complete and we are waiting for the prospecting license to be issued. Once this is done we will begin mobilizing a diamond recovery plant to this known diamond producing area. There are currently mines operated on both sides of this concession so we feel confident this is a highly prospective area. Sales of Polished diamonds form Plooysburg- We have sold a few diamonds already and have about 10 left. Once we get our web page up and going again we will offer them again on that forum. Meanwhile those who are interested in a diamond form your own diamond mine can contact us and we can arrange the sale and delivery.
Web Page future- We have just about finalized the transfer of the web page management back to the head office in Perth. Once that is done we can post the status reports on the web Page again. In the meantime I have had some enquiries about the financial status of the company. We have changed our focus from greenfields operations like Plooysburg and Middlewater to known diamond producing areas like the Vaal River and Orange River projects. The idea is to become cash flow positive before Christmas. With exploration we only have expenses except for the sales of a few diamonds recovered from Plooysburg and interest earned on money on deposit. This is typical of exploration companies all over the world.
We have more than a year’s finance still with the added advantage of also owning our own plant and earth moving equipment. This was a decision made early on in the program and it is proving to be a very valuable one. Because we own the equipment we are being approached by license holders to work with them in known diamond areas. As a consequence I believe we are in the strongest position we have been in since listing. At the beginning we had an exciting greenfields project at Plooysburg and up to date we would have to say it has not lived up to our hopes. But in the meantime we have established a presence on the ground and put together a good team. These things do not show up in the balance sheets but are very valuable to the company.
