Year End Summary

The Company has mined diamond gravel throughout the year, but despite
achieving over 1,000 carats in one cycle, the Company has, like all other
contractors in the region, been hampered by limited operational availability
of the processing facility at Muisvlak run by Alexkor. Without being able to
process gravels the Company was unable to sell diamonds during the Period. At
Alexkor's request, the Company took over and successfully ran the facility for
some time but was forced to withdraw its assistance due to political and
economic factors. Post-Period end the Company acquired a pan plant and a jig
to enable it to bypass Muisvlak entirely and submit highly concentrated gravel
for final sorting thereby increasing cash inflows from operations.

 

Following the receipt of proceeds from Hebei Xinjian Construction ("Xinjian"),
pursuant to agreements for Xinjian's investment in and subsequent proposed
acquisition of Aftan, the Company's cash position currently stands at £0.6
million

 

Further proceeds are to be received by the Company in the near term under the
Aftan disposal agreement announced on 20 December 2022.In view of this the
Directors consider that Company continues to trade as a going concern and
therefore anticipate that the accounts for the Period will be prepared on that
basis.
