Current Operations

Lace Project
The Lace project is located 20km from Kroonstad in the Free State Province of South Africa.

The project contains an estimated 14 million carats of diamonds in tailings and kimberlite. Additional kimberlites have been identified on the group's adjoining properties.

Phased development is being undertaken comprising initial tailings retreatment followed by mining of the remaining kimberlite, which has been drilled to a depth of 855m.

Lace Tailings Retreatment Project
Tailings treatment commenced with the commissioning of a 1.6 mtpa Dense Media Separation plant in 2007 with the intention of completing the treatment of 3.6 million tonnes of tailings within three years.

During the commissioning process and the three months following 320,045 tonnes of tailings were treated for the recovery of 25,266 carats of diamonds, representing 7.8cpht. These included a 17.72 carat stone and a 13.81 carat stone. The diamonds recovered from the tailings treatment operation are above world average in terms of colour and quality.

As a result an accelerated development plan for the underground project (Phase 2) has been formulated which aims to introduce kimberlite pipe material into the mine plan by the third quarter of 2008, almost a year ahead of the original schedule.

Lace Underground Project
The Lace kimberlites project involves re-establishing mining operations on the unmined portions of the Lace kimberlites.

The accelerated underground development plan (Phase 2) involves sinking a decline shaft into the unmined portion of the Lace satellite pipe, which was historically mined to a depth of only 50m.

Bulk testing, followed by trial underground mining of the satellite pipe kimberlite via the decline shaft, will be undertaken simultaneously with the refurbishment of the existing 360m-deep 6m by 2.7m vertical shaft which accesses the main Lace pipe.

It is estimated that the underground development plan has the potential to yield 13.7 million carats – more than 500,000 carats each year at peak production and with a 20-year mine life.
