Results of AGM
At the Botswana Diamonds plc ("Botswana Diamonds") Annual
General Meeting ("AGM"), which was held in London earlier today,
all resolutions were duly passed.
Highlights of comments made by James Campbell, Managing
Director, following the formal business of the AGM are highlighted
below:
v Negotiations with a new joint venture partner, who is a major
producer, are far advanced in The Sunland joint venture covering
Botswana. This follows the planned exit of Alrosa, and completion
of the 2018 work programme which identified high potential drill
targets in the Kalahari by Botswana Diamonds' geologists.
v A draft Prospectus has been compiled by the liquidators of BCL
on the Maibwe joint venture in the Kalahari Desert. BCL intend to
sell their interest.
v A royalty mining agreement has been signed on the Thorny River
Project in South Africa. This will allow early generation of
revenue once permitting is completed and the recovery of sufficient
diamonds and other geological information to declare a maiden
resource.
v Botswana Diamonds plans to drill the South African Free State
cluster of kimberlite pipes following encouraging whole rock
geochemistry, mineral chemistry and ground geophysics work.
v Work is progressing on the concession in the high-grade
Marange Diamond area in Zimbabwe: field work is already underway,
and 2019 plans being finalised. A formal agreement with the
concessionaire Vast Resources is being completed.
