FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
No regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained in this presentation.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for statements of historical fact, this presentation contains certain "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities law. Forward-looking
information is frequently characterized by words such as "plan", "expect", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate", “potential”, “should”, “likely”, forecast”, "estimate" and
other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-
looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include uncertainties and costs related to the proposed acquisition of
certain properties and assets from Bondeo 140 CC and its associates (“the Transaction”) and the ability of each party to satisfy the numerous conditions precedent in a
timely manner or at all, including, without limitation, completion on a timely basis of financings on satisfactory terms, receipt of shareholder approval, if required, receipt of
all regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the Section 11 applications and exchange and securities regulatory authority approvals; exploration and development
activities, such as those related to determining whether mineral resources exist on a property; uncertainties related to expected production rates, timing of production and
cash and total costs of production and milling; uncertainties related to the ability to obtain necessary licenses, permits, electricity, surface rights and title for development
projects; operating and technical difficulties in connection with mining development activities; uncertainties related to the accuracy of our mineral resource estimates and
our estimates of future production and future cash and total costs of production and diminishing quantities or grades if mineral resources; uncertainties related to
unexpected judicial or regulatory procedures or changes in, and the effects of, the laws, regulations and government policies affecting our mining operations; changes in
general economic conditions, the financial markets and the demand and market price for mineral commodities such as diesel fuel, steel, concrete, electricity, and other
forms of energy, mining equipment, and fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly with respect to the value of the US dollar, Canadian dollar and South African Rand;
changes in accounting policies and methods that we use to report our financial condition, including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and
estimates; environmental issues and liabilities associated with mining and processing; geopolitical uncertainty and political and economic instability in countries in which
we operate; and labour strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to, or difficulties in, the employment of labour in markets in which we operate our mines, or
environmental hazards, industrial accidents or other events or occurrences, including third party interference that interrupt operation of our mines or development projects.

analysis
Annual retail diamond sales: up ~4% in 2014
US retail sales deflationary due to decrease in gold and diamond prices:
Leading to increased consumer demand
Large and special diamonds sold on auction in 2014: Increased
demand with higher prices with all major Auction houses
Increased interest at auctions: Supports +10ct diamond prices
Lower polished inventories (post Festive season sales) + rough
diamond supply by major producers: Buoy demand in H2 2015 to

43-101 MINERAL RESOURCE SUMMARY
# Due to a lack of reliable data on SHC, the 5mm bottom cut-off size (“bcos”) values are not included at Indicated Mineral Resource classification.Diamond values (under “Value”) for BHC, SHC, KPC and Niewejaarskraal are based on a two-year moving average (from + 10,000ct from the BHC terrace on Saxendrift mine at 5mm bcos). Diamond values for SRC are based on the 5mm bcos sales data for FY2013 only. Diamond values for Wouterspan are based on extrapolation of FY2011 data at 5mm bcos.Tirisano data is at 29 February, 2012NOTE: the Indicated Mineral Resources on the BHC terrace of the Saxendrift mine are inclusive of the Mineral Reserves.
