Hi Guys, thank you all.

With the Diamonds, We were in the alluvial diamond mining. Our operation is in the Kimberly area Cape Provence South Africa as well as small pumping plants in Angola and Sierra Leone West Africa.

We found gold as a by product of the diamond recovery. We have two types of recovery equipment DMS and Centrifugal pans.

We also produce polished at our DCW diamond cutting works is in Johannesburg.

These are some pictures of the rough we recover at the mine in Kimberley.

The larger stone was 72 ct We finished at 24.02 ct J Si2

The smaller stone a 33 ct , we finished a 10.93 ct Pear shape in D IF and 2.53 in D VVs1
