AfDiamonds licensed to sell AK6 production on open market

Speaking at the Botswana Resource Conference that started in Gaborone yesterday, Managing Director James Campbell said Boteti Mine, which is 40 percent owned by African Diamonds and 60 percent by Lucara, has been awarded a licence by the Government of Botswana for its mine which has an 11-year initial lifespan.

Under provisions of the original mining licence issued in 2008, all production from AK6 was to be marketed through the Diamond Trading Company.
