“The Company has built upon last year’s discoveries making further excellent progress. We have worked hard on identifying the source of the green diamond that was found by us and there has been continued work at Riihivaara where we identified a new Kimberlite body.

“Very importantly we are accelerating work towards possible mine development at the Lahtojoki diamond deposit following the positive Preliminary Economic Assessment and the excellent assay results from the large Eastern lobe of the site.  As a result of which adjacent exploration acreage has been acquired.

“We are making solid progress towards our objective of bringing in the first diamond mine in Europe outside Russia.”
