Dear Shareholder,
SECURITY PURCHASE PLAN
(Formerly the Share Purchase Scheme)
The Company has planned a vigorous work program for the coming year, with three projects aiming to produce a positive cash flow in the near future. The exercise of options in December provided the Company with funds to complete its diamond exploration shaft at Copeton, to continue production and sales of the rubies from the mining program at Gloucester, and to meet administrative costs for the next twelve months. Little surplus funds will remain.
Your Directors are not satisfied with this situation. They feel that in order to progress the Company beyond this, and into a faster growth track, there needs to be additional effort put into ensuring both a reliable cash flow, and a complementary and well directed exploration effort. This exploration aims to demonstrate the blue sky potential of our projects. A consistent thrust on both these fronts will, we feel, ensure a rising share price over the coming year.
Accordingly we are again implementing the Company's security purchase plan to raise funds to ensure these aims are met.
We will be offering for sale an additional 10% of the Company's ordinary shares at 2.5 cents each. This is at a 20% discount on the average trading price for the five days prior to the announcement of the offer. We remind shareholders that this is strictly on a "first come first served" basis, and that previously some applicants have missed out due to high demand. Accordingly we recommend that shareholders apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
The Board is discussing underwriting of the first \$1.5 million dollars of the Plan, and an agreement on normal underwriting terms is expected shortly. If finalised, this underwriting will ensure that the funds are available, and that the aggressive development and exploration program proposed will go ahead.
It is intended that money raised will not be spent on administration, as these costs have already been budgeted for the next twelve months. All funds are planned to be directly spent on the development and exploration projects. If the diamond test shaft at Copeton is successful, additional prospecting drives will be necessary to more fully evaluate the deposit. If the deposit is suitable for smaller scale mining, a headframe will be necessary, and an additional shaft will be sunk for safety and ventilation reasons. A new diamond bearing horizon has been located on the Bingara diamond field, and further testing of this is necessary to demonstrate the potential of the field to contain a large diamond resource.
Whilst the Gloucester ruby processing operation has been upgraded over the last few months, two large six wheel drive trucks will need to be purchased to ensure the increased throughput. As well as production activities, the Company needs to continue the exploration program to locate primary sources for the Gloucester rubies, both around the area being mined at present, and throughout the surrounding region, where Cluff will be entitled to an increased 50% of the net profits from marketing by CPH.
Following the imminent grant of mining leases at our 100% owned sapphire mining project at Anakie, a test program will be fast tracked and a production plant established onsite. Although much of the necessary equipment is already owned by the Company, a crew will need to establish the plant, and operate it until a saleable parcel of sapphire has been produced and sold, and the mine is profitable.
Your Board looks forward to an exciting twelve months.
Yours faithfully,
Herman
