The Company holds the right to mine the Dutoitspan diamond mine which it
leases to De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, in terms of an agreement dated
30 August 1889, for an annual consideration of R84 560 and it is anticipated
that, with the exception of the profit on disposal of the investment in the
holding company which will not recur, the results for the second half of the
year will be approximately the same as for the first half.
