Ellendale Diamond Mine, page-23

Gem Diamonds paid $300M for the mine in 2007.

Kimberley bought it for $15M in 2013 BUT I'm pretty sure that came with liabilities including multi-million dollar environmental bonds.

These financial liabilities have been absolved by the WA government, effectively GIB has a clean slate from which to work towards a Mining License.

The $2.5M required to commence Trial Mining on Gib's neighbouring Blina Diamond Project will no longer present a problem imo. If it is through dilution keep in mind the last placement was @ 9c before Ron Brierley dropped a 14M share anvil onto the stock.

Be nice to raise above 10c - unless of course a cornerstone investor is introduced onto the register.

Otherwise maybe a JV?

Going to be an exciting start to the NY for shareholders.
