Aber to trade under new name

Aber Diamond Corp. has received sanctions from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to list its stock under the new name Harry Winston Diamond Corporation, which will carry the symbol “HWD”. Aber will begin trading under ‘HWD’ on November 19, 2007. Aber owns 40% stake in the Diavik mine and Harry Winston - the jewellery and timepiece retailer.

“As the only diamond company in the world that pairs rough diamond expertise with more than 100 years of fine jewellery experience in luxury retail, it is appropriate that our unparalleled brand is associated with this prestigious U.S. exchange,” said Aber chairman and chief executive officer, Robert Gannicott.
