Mr Donald Sheldon reports
ANGOLA
Gold is negotiating with the owners of two diamond concessions straddling
the Chicapa River in the Lunda Norte area of Angola. The total area of the
concession is 300 sq km.
Some areas of the concessions provided 350,000 carats at a grade of 0.4
carats/cubic metres with a 2:1 stripping ratio. The average value is
US$200/carat.
Pure Gold has paid a deposit to secure an interest in these rights and will
make a further payment as soon as the due diligence has been completed.
SOUTH AFRICA
Agreement in principle has been reached with Thabex Exploration a publicly
trading (Johannesburg Exchange) South African diamond exploration company,
to acquire an interest in its diamond concession in South Africa. The
project, known as the Douglas project, is 450 ha in size and contains 3.65
million tonnes indicated diamondiferous reserves at an average grade of 1.1
carat per 100 tonne at an average expected price of $757.00 per carat.
Mining of this project began April 15 1998, and will be increased from the
current 100 tonnes per month (from exploration trenching) to a diamond
mine, producing at a rate of 50,000 tonnes per month.
As soon as due diligence is complete, a further news release on the terms
and timing of the project will be made.
The two projects represent a further diversification for Pure Gold as it
expands its potential for economic diamond production.
ALBERTA
Further news is expected shortly from the Ashton Mining of Canada/Alberta
Energy Company joint venture regarding microdiamond counts in new
kimberlites discussed in news release dated March 23 1998
