FEATURED MINING COMPANY
ROCKWELL DIAMONDS Inc.
SOUTH AFRICA
The Holpan and Klipdam Property: is located 45 km from Kimberley, South Africa and consists of the adjacent Holpan 161 and Klipdam 157 farms, covering an area of 3,836 hectares. It is situated adjacent to the Leicester hard rock diamond mine from which exceptionally large diamonds have been recovered, and within an area of significant alluvial diamond operations.
The property hosts an extensive alluvial diamond deposit. An estimated inferred resource* of 8,753,163 cubic metres (m3) and indicated resource* of 2,272,502 cubic metres (m3) of diamondiferous gravel at a grade of 0.84 carats/100 m3 was updated in February 2009.
Alluvial operations are continuing, using a large fleet of new equipment. At Klipdam, diamond bearing gravels are processed through a double 18 foot, low-cost, wet rotary pan plant which was completely modernized and upgraded in October 2007.
The Saxendrift Project: is located along the south bank of the Middle Orange River between Douglas and Prieska in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The Saxendrift Project is comprised of the Saxendrift Mine as well as the Kwartelspan prospect which is contiguous to the Saxendrift Mine property.
Saxendrift is adjacent to Wouterspan, which is located on the north bank of the Middle Orange River.
Rockwell acquired the property in April 2008 and initiated processing by re-commissioning an existing 35 tonne per hour Dense Media Separation Plant ("DMS"); repairing and re-commissioning the gravel screening and rotary-pan plants (including three 16-foot and one 14-foot rotary-pans) located near the north-eastern margin of the Saxendrift terrace.
