Af Diamonds Gets Two Licences

African Diamonds says its wholly owned subsidiary, Kukama Mining & Exploration (Pty) Ltd., has been awarded two prospecting licences close to the Orapa region. The licences are PL85/2007 and PL84/2007 and cover 847.3km2 and 641.1km2 respectively.

The region of Kedia is regarded as prospective for diamonds. Kimberlitic indicators, mostly garnets, were recovered during exploration by earlier explorers. Some of the garnets were G9 and G2, indicating a source not too far away. Their presence has never been explained. The prospective nature of this area has resulted in a number of competing theories to explain the geology. African Diamonds will review the are's historical data using modern analysis and interpretation. Modern technology may offer an opportunity to identify what may be a new kimberlite field. In a separate development, African Diamonds has acquired a 25 percent interest in Wati Ventures (Pty) Ltd.,

Privately owned Botswana diamond explorer whose principal interest is a 1.35 percent stake in the AK6 diamond discovery in Orapa, as well as four kimberlite pipes, of which two are new discoveries. Consideration for this was 45,000 shares in African Diamonds plc. Wati Ventures (Pty) Ltd. has a joint venture.
