ABOUT GEM DIAMONDS:
Gem Diamonds is a leading global diamond producer of world class, high-value diamonds.The Letšeng mine is renowned for the production of large, top colour, exceptional white diamonds, making it the highest average dollar per carat kimberlite diamond mine in the world. Since Gem Diamonds acquired the Letšeng mine in 2006, it has produced four of the 20 largest white gem quality diamonds ever recorded.
Gem Diamonds has a growth strategy based on enhancing the operational efficiencies of Letšeng and developing the Ghaghoo mine, whilst maintaining its strong balance sheet. The Company seeks to maximise revenue and create additional margin from its rough diamond production through the Group's expanded sales, marketing and manufacturing capabilities. With favourable supply/demand dynamics expected to benefit the industry over the medium to long term, particularly at the high end of the market supplied by Gem Diamonds, this strategy positions the Company well to generate attractive returns for shareholders in the coming years.
