CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
During the period under review the Company has concentrated on refurbishing its plant with a view to realising it at the most advantageous price, as well as seeking other projects which can be brought into the Group.
Operations
Operations at the Group's Sonnberg diamond mine have been discontinued, following a detailed review of its economic viability. The refurbishment of the plant has now been completed, which has underpinned its value, and a structured sale process is now in place. A decision can now be made as to future utilization, either by sale or in another project at a new location. The agreement under which Sonnberg previously mined is open to differing interpretations regarding rehabilitation costs. Sonnberg has contributed a percentage of the value of diamonds mined to a fund held by Namdeb, but the adequacy of this fund is uncertain. The directors provided a further GBP70,000 to cover this potential liability during the previous year, and discussions are under way with Namdeb.
Financial
During the period the Company reports a consolidated unaudited total comprehensive loss of GBP72,436 (2013 loss: GBP376,588). The figure for 2013 is shown after an impairment charge of GBP167,129. During the period the Company raised GBP146,600 by a placing of new shares, a large part of which was subscribed by me. Expenses in Namibia have been reduced to the minimum required to maintain Sonnberg Diamonds in good standing. Separate financing will be sought for new projects, which is likely to be by way of both equity and project finance.
Future prospects
Work on bringing new projects in to the Company is now accelerating, and I believe that the Company is now well placed to move forward. The initial intention was to bring in coal projects, but the market perception of coal projects in Southern Africa has mitigated against this. The directors are evaluating a small copper project in Northern Cape Province, South Africa, which could bring early positive cash flow as well as providing a stepping stone to other copper projects in that area. Also currently under consideration are a kimberlite diamond mine in South Africa and an onshore oil and gas project in West Africa. Either of these would require the publication of a new admission document, and it must be stressed that discussions remain at an early stage.
