Editors' Note
Brazilian Diamonds is a leading Brazil-based exploration company focused on the discovery of kimberlites on its extensive portfolio of properties in the States of Minas Gerais and Bahia, with the goal of becoming a significant producer of diamonds.
The Company is awaiting final approval before commencing the environmental licensing process for the development of the Canastra 1 kimberlite body for which mine feasibility work has already been completed and the required Mines Department approvals are already in place. It is intended to bring Canastra 1 into production once the environmental licensing process is completed.
The Company's Salvador diamond project in Bahia includes the diamondiferous Salvador 1 kimberlite. This project was acquired from De Beers which retains a right to reacquire up to 40 per cent. of any kimberlite found on the Salvador properties which is confirmed to contain more that 200 carats of diamonds.
The Company has a fully operational diamond separation/analysis laboratory at Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais which is strategically located near its properties in the Santo Ant�nio and Coromandel areas. The Company has a highly experienced team including six geologists located at the Company's facilities in Brazil.
The Company's strategy for non-core activities on its properties is to form joint ventures. A Cdn$1,000,000 feasibility study is underway for a joint venture for the mining of alluvial diamonds on its properties in the Santo Ant�nio river drainage. The joint venture involves two important Brazilian companies: CODEMIG, the state owned mining development organization and Mineracao Rio Novo Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary of Andrade Gutierrez SA, one of Brazil's largest civil engineering firms and an existing large scale, dredge based producer of alluvial diamonds.
