Claude Resources Inc. has three Canadian gold projects - Seabee, Amisk and Madsen - that each host over 1 million ounces of gold and have the potential to produce over 100,000 ounces per year. The company expects to increase annual gold production at Seabee by 10-15% per year over the next 5 years to exceed 90,000 ounces by 2017 through increased reserves, new discoveries, improved infrastructure and development. Claude also continues to grow its resource base at a finding cost below the industry average as it focuses on exploration and advancing its projects.
Gold Investment Symposium 2012 - Company presentation - Silver Lake ResourcesSymposium
Silver Lake Resources held a Gold Symposium in October 2012 to discuss the company's performance and key milestones. Over the past 3 years, Silver Lake had grown from operating a single mine to five mines projected for 2012, with an estimated 10-year mine life. Production had increased from 47 koz in 2009 to a projected 83 koz in 2012. The company raised $70 million in equity in 2011 to fund expansions. In August 2012, Silver Lake announced the acquisition of Integra Goldrush to combine production of 400,000 oz annually.
Edgewater Exploration is a Canadian-based small cap mining company focused on building a portfolio of undervalued mid stage gold assets worldwide.
Edgewater has acquired the advanced stage Corcoesto gold asset through the acquisition of Rio Narcea Gold Mines in the Autonomous region of Galacia, Spain. The project is well located with excellent access to roads, power and a nearby local skilled workforce.
- Wesdome Gold Mines is a Canadian gold mining company operating the Eagle River mine in Wawa, Ontario and the Kiena Mine Complex in Val d'Or, Quebec.
- In 2009, Wesdome achieved record production of 96,152 ounces of gold, revenues of $103.5 million, earnings of $32.2 million, and cash flow from operations of $41.3 million.
- Key drivers of the improved financial performance were increased gold sales and higher gold prices realized compared to 2008, along with stabilized operating costs.
This document provides an initiation of coverage report on Dominion Diamond Corp. and Lucara Diamond Corp., two Canadian diamond producers. It finds that they represent opposite ends of the spectrum. Dominion operates mature diamond mines in Canada's Northwest Territories that will deplete reserves in 8 years without extensions. Lucara recently began production from its high-margin Karowe mine in Botswana, which has consistently recovered large, high-value diamonds and has a 13-year reserve life. The report initiates coverage on both with "Buy" ratings, citing Dominion's potential if an extension project is approved, and Lucara's opportunities for growth through acquisitions.

Zimbabwe produces typical African kimberlitic diamonds and alluvial diamonds. Diamonds in Zimbabwe are currently being extensively mined in three different regions of the country.
Towards the end of 2011 Zimbabwe was finally given the green light to freely resume export of diamonds from Marange, within the Kimberley Process framework. If Zimbabwe completes its electoral reforms successfully, a surge in diamond production from the country is likely. In 2012, was the fourth largest producer of diamonds by volume.

A perspective on The South African diamond mining industryJames AH Campbell
The document provides an overview of the South African diamond mining industry from the perspective of James Campbell, CEO of Rockwell Diamonds. It discusses the history and fundamentals of the global diamond industry, sources of diamonds, assessing diamond potential, regulatory requirements, and major companies operating in the industry. It notes that demand for rough diamonds is expected to grow moderately while supply will increase in the short term but decline after 2019, leading to an overall positive supply-demand outlook in the medium to long term.
Key Views
What will diamond supply look like ten years from now?
Mother Earth decides what types of diamonds are going to be available for consumption. Thus, supply of diamonds generally precedes demand.
Diamond miners produced more diamonds in the last twenty years than in all of history.
At current mining rates, it is possible that we will run out of accessible diamonds within fifty years.
There is large surplus supply of diamonds because of many years of excessive production of polished diamonds. Thus, future supply shortfalls will be specific to a particular type, size and quality of diamond.
New projects in Canada and Russia are positive for the world's supply of gem quality diamonds over the next five to twenty years.

Overview of North Arrow's most active diamond projects with a focus on our most advanced project, the Naujaat Diamond Project, located near tide water 9 km from the Hamlet of Naujaat , Nunavut.
KAMINAK GOLD CORPORATION (KAM: TSX-V) is focused on exploring the Coee Gold Project,
located in the emerging White Gold District, Yukon Territory. In 2010, Kaminak executed the first ever drill program on the
Coee property, and 9 separate and closely-spaced gold discoveries have been drilled to date within a 15km by 5km area.
All of these gold discoveries have been made by drilling directly underneath gold-in-soil anomalies. Lack of glaciation over
the Coee property has allowed in-situ soil-sampling to be employed as a highly eective and low cost exploration tool.
Presently, there are over 20km of untested soil anomalies on the property that warrant drill testing, and only 15% of the
150,000 acre property has experienced systematic grid soil sampling. e fully funded Phase One 2012 exploration
program includes a minimum of 50,000 metres of drilling with the objectives of expanding the high-priority zones along
strike and at depth, drilling new discoveries and identifying new drill targets through soil sampling. e results from the
2012 program are expected to lead to a maiden NI 43-101 compliant resource on the Coee property.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

16. mine extraction
The process of extraction and
separation of the ore from its
Kimberlite host, forms the
production or output level of the
mine, which is measured in carats
per tonne of ore.
250 tonnes of ore must be
mined and processed to
produce 1 carat, depending on
the mine

20. rough sorting…
Apart from extraction of the
diamond from the ore body,
the first real value add of
diamond product begins at
the sorting level.

21. sorting…sorting and more sorting
Diamonds are sorted and
graded on colour, size, and
carat weight by machine, and
hand sorting (dependent on
size and value)
With final sorting done by a
highly experienced team of
diamond graders.
Notice how the diamonds are
labelled and separated, which is
the beginnings of mine chain of
custody.

23. transparency to government and
public……
Example KP certificate
After recovery rough guaranteeing conflict free origins ,
diamonds are sent from the required for export/import rough
minesite to office RTD in diamonds
Antwerp.
An estimate of value has
been placed on the exported
goods by an appointed RTD
Royalty valuer and
Government representatives,
based on historical outputs
The goods are then approved
for export, along with its KP
certificate (non-conflict
guarantee).

24. and yet more rough sorting …….
Steve MClelland, Inspira Diamonds, for GIA, 2011 24
25. rough sales preparation and
presentation…
•Diamonds are also sorted into
meaningful assortments for
presentation to the customers of
RTD.
•The Sales team presents the goods
at monthly interval sales, also called
“sights”.
•Prices are based on the
extrapolation of what the polished
price might achieve in the
marketplace
•Customers purchase their allocated
goods, very often in millions of
carats, or dollars, by mere
handshake.
•Most production will leave Antwerp
for manufacture overseas.

28. Most of world’s polishing takes place in
India :
an estimated 1 million people are
employed by diamond industry in India

29. value add…
The diamond is forever altered into
its final polished state, via a plan
usually by a form of SARIN,
combined with years of polishing
experience within the polishing
team, and its supervisor.
The team try to maximise yield
(commercial) whilst keeping in
mind proportions/symmetry/cut
(brilliance).

30. polishing process
•Sawing – the process of dividing a stone into two pieces
using either a blade or a laser.
•Cleaving – a process where the rough stone is split into
two pieces to improve the shape or the quality.
•Bruting – a process which shape the stone in to the
desired shape.
•Polishing – the process of applying facets to the surface
of the stone.

31. marking & cleaving
by traditional methods

32. Diamond has a grain structure. It can be sawn against
the grain and cleaved with the grain.

39. safety in the polished manufacturing
process…
A combination of old traditional
hand method, or laser technology
is applied. Lasers assist in better
diamond yield, and brilliance, and
very importantly are healthier for
the worker.
Factories are now more efficient,
cleaner, with better lighting and
product output due to BEM and
best business practice
requirements driven by mining
companies like RTD and BHP.

40. recent trends in value addition….
Trends to manufacturing to ideal proportions
(known as triple EX), or hearts and arrows,
is an attempt by the industry to extract more
value from the diamond product, whilst also
satisfying consumer demand, since the ideal
proportions are highly sought after and
command higher prices.
Steve MClelland, Inspira Diamonds, for GIA, 2011 40
42. diamond trade:
Diamonds are traded at 28 registered diamond
bourses worldwide
Antwerp being the major recognised world diamond
center
The move to standardisation with Rappaport lists, and
certification makes diamond trade more transparent
At this stage most diamonds above 30-50pts will be
sent to a lab for certification, where the 4c’s will be
applied, the stone will be plotted and graded

46. certification…more value add
•In recent times (last 10 years)
certification has become an important
tool, protecting the supplier and the
consumer, and providing consumer
confidence through consistent grading
standards.
•It also impacts significantly on the
value addition of a diamond product.
•A GIA graded stone, can command
more than a lesser lab for example
•And a stone that is uncertified is
commercially less than a stone that is
certified

47. even shipping and customs adds
value…
Steve MClelland, Inspira Diamonds, for GIA, 2011 47
48. branding , packaging and marketing
adds further perceived value..
Steve MClelland, Inspira Diamonds, for GIA, 2011 48
50. jewellery design and manufacturing
Probably the greatest impact on value
addition….
Steve MClelland, Inspira Diamonds, for GIA, 2011 50
51. finished jewellery product
IDEX estimated a mere 27%
of the value of a finished
piece of jewellery is attributed
to diamond product, the rest
being manufacture, design,
gold and marketing

53. contraction of supply......
•2011 world production to plateau to 48 m carats
•No new diamond deposits
•De Beers warn contracted supply
will force prices up next 15 years
•Rio tinto warns rough-diamond prices will increase
In the next decade as production will
fail to meet demand from emerging BRIC economies
(Brazil, Russia, India and China)

54. consumption changes…
Consumption growth: India and China
Share of US market continues to decline, but
still high in diamond content of jewellery
Emergence of “investment” diamonds
Reserves of mine production becoming
depleted

55. recycling as the “new mine”….
“2010:market value of global diamond
recycling estimated at $6 billion “
Recycling tipped as the :”new mine”
Secondary market picks up : bought at most
80% off Rappaport , recycled and re-sold.
Increasing price of gold

56. This presentation has shown a brief glimpse
into the many hands involved in the global
diamond process.
As consumers and business leaders
we must be aware of the cost to
bring this “glamorous” product to
the market. And endeavour to lead
the world in ethical and respectful
practices.
