About Namakwa:

Following its successful Initial Public Offer on December 19, 2007 on the London
Stock Exchange, Namakwa Diamonds is the only quoted vertically integrated
diamond mining company. Its strategy of backward integration from its 30 years
of beneficiation experience into mining has created a unique public investment
proposition. Namakwa Diamonds has a diversified portfolio of diamond projects,
which includes five distinct diamond resource target areas. These are located in
four African countries, namely; South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Namibia and Angola. Namakwa's projects are located within historically
prospective geological environments. Alluvial diamond deposits constitute the
primary focus of the company, whilst kimberlite opportunities will be considered
if they represent an advanced stage of development, consistent with Namakwa's
philosophy of a short resource delivery time as provided by its alluvial diamond
mines.
