Kavango Project, Namibia
  • Namdeb has earned a 51 interest by committing to
    fund a US4.8m work program over 24 months.
  • Objective to develop and test new kimberlite
    targets.
  • Year 1 will concentrating on drilling to close
    off Omatako anomaly and on geophysical
    orientation work.
  • Airborne survey work and drilling planned for
    Year 2.
  • Namdeb can increase interest to 65 by fully
    funding to feasibility

LESOTHO KIMBERLITE LOCALITY MAP
11
MOTHAE KIMBERLITE OVERVIEW
  • Discovered in 1961 by Basutoland Diamond Ltd.
    Located 6.5 kilometers north-west of the Letseng
    diamond mine.
  • The pipe is 8.8 ha in area, and is essentially
    exposed at surface (covered by a thin veneer of
    gravels and peat).
  • Historical prospecting inadequate to determine
    economic potential - recovered approx 300 carats
    and indicated grades of 0.27 to 4.95 cpht
    (average 2.28 cpht).
  • The Mothae kimberlite has potential to be a world
    class diamond producer
  • High tonnage potential
  • Grade consistent with Letseng mine potential to
    be higher.
  • Sampling needed to determine diamond value.

MOTHAE SURFACE EXPRESSION
  • Determination of the diamond grade and value at
    Mothae will require a large bulk sample of the
    kimberlite - on the order of 100,000 tonnes.
  • This assessment of economic potential can be made
    relatively quickly and at modest cost (estimated
    at US8.0 million).
  • Mothae is a pre-feasibility diamond project ready
    to go.

THE LETSENG DIAMOND MINE
Letseng Main Pit
  • Returned to production by JCI in 2004.
  • Controlling interest recently bought by Gem
    Diamond Mining Company of Africa Limited (Gem)
    for R879.5 million.
  • Main pipe (15.9ha) and a satellite pipe (4.7ha).
  • Diamond grades are between 2 and 2.5 carats per
    hundred tonnes of kimberlite, diamond value is
    reported to average US1,889 per carat.
  • The high average diamond value is a result of
    consistent but infrequent recovery of very large,
    exceptional quality type IIA diamonds.

Expected Letseng-Type Diamond Size Distribution
Sample Size in Carats Recovered
  • The number of large stones recovered from a 300
    carat parcel is too low to provide an indication
    of the presence of large stones.
  • A parcel size of 1000 carats is necessary to
    determine whether an ultra-coarse diamond
    population is present, but will not reliably show
    value potential.
  • If an ultra-coarse diamond population is present,
    a 3000 carat parcel should provide an indication
    of value potential. A larger parcel will be
    needed to determine average stone value.
