ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

     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, purchase of mining plant and equipment
and exploratory work and site establishment.  During the quarter ended March 31,
1998 the Company purchased mining plant and equipment for and incurred site
establishment costs at the Grasdrif Deposit in the amount of $1,824,527.  In
addition, the Caerwinning mineral lease was purchased for $226,348 and an
extensive drilling program at the Montrose Deposit commenced in March 1998.  The
increase in interest income is mainly due to the investing of cash received from
the debt and equity financing in December 1997.  The interest expense in 1998 is
on the debt portion of that financing.  The increase in other expenses is mainly
due to the Company gearing up to place the Grasdrif and Caerwinning Deposits
into production.  During March 1998, warrant holders exercised warrants to
purchase 172,286 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of Cdn$.375
per share, resulting in proceeds of $45,895.  The Company received government
approval of the Caerwinning Deposit mineral lease on March 31, 1998.  Upon
receipt of this approval, the Company became eligible to borrow an additional
$1,400,000 on its 15% Secured Note Payable.  The Company received the funds on
April 6, 1998.  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 completion of exploratory work at the Montrose
Deposit and site establishment and the commencement of full scale mining
operations at the Grasdrif and Caerwinning Deposits.  The Company expects to be
in full scale mining operations on both deposits by the end of June 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 full scale 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 and cost of production.  If any of these assumptions prove
incorrect, the Company may require additional capital.  Any such additional
financing may require a 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 June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131").  SFAS 131 established
standards regarding how public companies report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that selected information
about operating segments be reported in interim financial reports to
stockholders.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997.  In the initial year of adoption, comparative information for
earlier years must be restated.  The Company does not expect that this statement
will have a significant impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures
for the year ending December 31, 1998.

     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.
