About Gem Diamonds:
Gem Diamonds is a leading global diamond producer of high value
diamonds. The company owns 70% of the Letšeng mine in Lesotho and
100% of the Ghaghoo mine in Botswana. The Letšeng mine is famous
for the production of large, top colour, exceptional white
diamonds, making it the highest dollar per carat kimberlite diamond
mine in the world.
Gem Diamonds has a growth strategy based on the expansion of the
Letšeng mine and bringing the Ghaghoo mine into production, while
maintaining its strong balance sheet. The Company seeks to maximise
revenue and margin from its rough diamond production by pursuing
cutting, polishing and sales and marketing initiatives further
along the diamond value chain. 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.
