With this13 shareholders hold altogether 29,769 ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the issued share capital and the rest of the 19 shareholders hold together 102,231 ordinary shares.

The company has exploration licenses in Botswana at Kokong, and in Finland at Lahtojoki, both said to have diamond-bearing kimberlites of potential economic interest, reports say.
