Thats true Bob and backed up today by an answer to my emailed questions of yesterday, below. Dear Sir, Serge Muller spoke to the Minister of Mines of Sierra Leone, Mr. Mohamed S.

Here is the letter. For the Attention of Mr. Serge Muller Rex Mining Companv Limited. MINES DIVISION MINISTRY OF MINERAL RESOURCES YOUYI BUILDING BROOKFIELDS FREETOWN. 16th March 1999. CORRECTION - SIERRA LEONE WEBSITE NEWS OF 15TH MARCH 1999 Website news of the 15th March 1999 has drawn the attention of the Minister of Mineral Resources to the portion relating to Kimberlite Mining in the Tongo Fields. The Minister would like to set the records straight by the following clarifications: ( 1) Rex Mjning Company was granted the concession in 1994 to mine diamonds in Tongo Fields and their Mining Lease is still current. It is therefore not true that Branch Energy has been granted licence to mine the same area. (2)The Minister did not make any comment about Experts from Branch Energy conducting laboratory tests on samples of kimberlite deposits. The company's operations have gone far beyond laboratory tests on kimberlite samples. (3) Branch Energy are expected to start production of diamonds in their Koidu Kimberlite mining concession when security is fully restored in the country . (A R WURIE ) Ag. Director of Mines.
