ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis


     The Company is engaged in diamond exploration and mining.  The Company has
acquired two mining properties (the Grasdrif Deposit and the Caerwinning
Deposit) and has acquired an option to purchase a third mining property (the
Montrose Kimberlite Pipe), all of which are located in the Republic of South
Africa.  The Company intends to conduct exploration and acquisitions of
additional diamond pipes and alluvial deposits and is continuously evaluating
potential property acquisitions.

     To date, the Company's activities have included the investigation and
acquisition of mining property interests, exploratory work, site establishment
and purchase and operation of mining plant and equipment.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased mining plant and equipment for and
incurred site establishment costs at the Grasdrif Deposit in the amount of
$1,861,104 and at the Caerwinning Deposit in the amount of $786,758 (which
includes the option price paid for the mineral lease of $192,243).  In addition,
an extensive drilling program at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe commenced in March
1998.

     The increase in interest income is mainly due to the temporary investment
of cash received from the debt and equity financings in December 1997 and April
1998.  In June 1998, it was decided the depreciation since January 1998 on
earthmoving and other equipment used in the development of the mining properties
should be capitalized to mining properties under development.  Through March 31,
1998 this was written off as depreciation in the income statement.  This
resulted in the ($37,951) reflected as depreciation for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 in expenses.  The interest expense in 1998 is the result of the
debt portion of that financing.  The increase in other expenses is mainly due to
the Company gearing up to place the Grasdrif and Caerwinning Deposits into
production.

     The Grasdrif Deposit primary and final recovery plants are presently being
commissioned.  The various components of the primary recovery plant and the flow
sorters in the final recovery plant are being run independently a few hours a
day for testing and calibration purposes.  By mid August, it is expected that
the primary and final recovery plant will be in operation with hours increasing
to one shift of 10 hours per day by the middle of September.  It is expected
that by the end of October the number of hours will have increased to two 10
hour shifts per day.  The dense media separator in the final recovery plant is
expected to be commissioned by the middle of September.  The tailings from the
pan plant, which are destined for the dense media separator, will be stockpiled
until the dense media separator is commissioned.

     The Caerwinning Deposit primary recovery plant is presently being
commissioned.  The various components of the primary recovery plant are being
run independently a few hours a day for testing purposes.  By the end of August,
it is expected that the primary plant will be in operation with hours increasing
to one shift of 10 hours per day by the end of September.  After the concentrate
has been sorted by the classifier in the final recovery plant, final recovery of
the diamonds will be by hand until the flow sorters are installed and
calibrated.  It is anticipated that the installation and calibration of the flow
sorters in the final recovery plant will be completed by the middle of
September.  It is expected that by the middle of November the number of hours
will have increased to two 10 hour shifts per day.  Due to the nature of the
deposit, a dense media separator will not be used in the primary recovery plant.

     The Montrose Kimberlite Pipe drilling program which commenced in March 1998
was completed in April.  The drill samples consisting of 222 tonnes are being
processed, milled and handsorted by an independent laboratory.  As of August 7,
1998, all the drill samples have been processed and 96% of the concentrate below
6mm in size have been handsorted and 73% of the plus 6mm have been milled and
14% has been handsorted.  A total of 27 diamonds were recovered with a total
weight of 3.57 carats.  The largest is a diamond of 0.47 carats.  The diamonds
are all of gem or near gem quality.  Final report on the results of the program
are expected by the end of August.  The Company will carry out an extensive
underground bulk sample if the results of the drilling program support this next
step.  The option on the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe expires in October 1998.  In
order to carry out the underground bulk sample, the Company would have to
negotiate a one year extension of the option period to cover the carrying out of
the underground bulk sample and the analysis of the results.  It is expected
that the extension will be obtained for a small cash payment to the property
owner as well as a small increase in the R2,800,000 option amount.  However,
there is no certainty that this extension will be obtained.

                                      -6-

     The Company's mining properties are all situated in the Republic of South
Africa, where the currency is the Rand.  Since the Company commenced operations
in South Africa in 1994, the Rand has slowly but steadily weakened against other
major currencies, including the US dollar.  However, in June 1998, the Rand
weakened significantly and continues to show further weakness.  At May 31, 1998,
the rate was Rand 5.156 to US$1 and at June 30, 1998 was Rand 5.93 to US$1.
This caused most of the foreign currency translation adjustment of $742,023 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998.  During the period July 1, 1998 to August
7, 1998, the rate varied in the range of Rand 5.95 to 6.81 to US$1.  At August
7, 1998, the rate was Rand 6.214 to US$1.

     Revenue will be generated in US$ and mine operating costs are incurred in
Rand.  The initial revenue impact on potential future earnings should be
favorable, however, the impact of inflation on mine operating costs caused by
the decline in the Rand value may mitigate or unfavorably impact the initial
revenue gains that are made.  There should be no significant impact on the cost
of the earthmoving equipment component of plant and machinery as most of this
equipment is imported into South Africa and is quoted in US$ or other major
currency.  Purchases of other plant and machinery are payable in Rand.

     The Company has financed its activities to date through the sale of its
equity and debt securities.  The Company's plan of operations for the next 12
months include the underground bulk sample work at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe
and completion of site establishment and the commencement of mining operations
at the Grasdrif and Caerwinning Deposits.  The Company expects to begin mining
operations on both deposits during the third quarter of 1998.

     The Company believes that it has sufficient working capital to satisfy its
working capital requirements for the next 12 months, including the capital
required to commence the underground bulk sample at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe
and mining operations at two of its mining properties, the Grasdrif and
Caerwinning Deposits.  The Company's beliefs concerning the sufficiency of its
working capital are based on certain assumptions concerning, among other things,
the estimated grade of the processed ore, average price per diamond carat,
commencement and scale of mining operations, Rand US$ exchange rate and cost of
production.  If any of these assumptions prove incorrect, the Company may
require additional capital.  Any such additional financing may require an
additional pledge or mortgage of the Company's properties and of any production
therefrom.  There is, of course, no assurance that satisfactory financing, if
necessary, could be obtained therefor.  In addition to borrowings to finance
individual development projects, the Company may also borrow funds from time to
time for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

     In February 1998, Statement of Financial Standards No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pension and Retirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132), was issued
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  This
statement standardizes disclosure requirements for pensions and other post
retirement benefits.  It does not change the measurement or recognition
provisions for those benefit plans.

     In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued and
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999.  This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments and hedging activities.

     The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS Nos. 132 and 133 will not
have a significant effect on the financial position, results of operations or
liquidity of the Company.

     This report contains various forward-looking statements that are based on
the Company's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to the Company.  When used in this report, the words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, that as of
this date the Company has not commenced mining operations at any of its three
mines; the lack of proven reserves at any of the Company's three mines; mining
risks generally; political risks associated with the Company's operations in the
Republic of South Africa; general economic conditions; currency fluctuations;
and estimates of costs of production.  Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or
projected.  The Company cautions potential investors not to place undue reliance
on any such forward-looking statements all of which speak only as of the date
made.
