Attractive Diamond Market Fundamentals
◆ Global natural diamond production peaked in 2017 and is forecasted to
decrease for several years; estimated decline of 2.8% in 2019
◆ Declining production and closure of several large mines (e.g. Argyle, Victor,
Voorspoed, Mir, Jubilee, Ekati) and only one sizeable new mine under
development, Alrosa’s Luaxe in Angola
◆ Global consumer diamond demand forecasted to grow at 3.5% in 2019, driven
by economic growth in key markets (US, China, India)

The potential quantity and grade of any TFFE is conceptual in nature, there is insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
target being delineated as a Mineral Resource. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability, and might never be converted into Reserves.
