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 owns 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 nine
months ended September 30, 1998, the Company purchased mining plant and
equipment for and incurred site establishment costs at the Grasdrif Deposit in
the amount of $2,629,608 and at the Caerwinning Deposit in the amount of
$1,113,405.  In addition, an extensive drilling program at the Montrose
Kimberlite Pipe was completed in April 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.  The interest expense in 1998 is the result of the debt portion of that
financing.  The increase in aggregate Company 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, with the exception
of the dense media separator ("DMS"), were initially commissioned in August
1998.  The tailings from the pan plant, which are destined for the DMS will be
stockpiled until the DMS is commissioned.  The DMS, which is a mobile unit,
experienced technical problems during commissioning.  The manufacturer had
attempted to correct the problems on site.  However, due to the remoteness of
the Grasdrif Deposit, the modifications could not be carried out.  The
manufacturer has returned the DMS back to its factory in order to carryout the
modifications.  The manufacturer has informed the Company that it expects the
DMS modifications to be completed and the unit returned to the Grasdrif Deposit
by the middle of November 1998.  Based on this, the final commissioning of the
entire primary and final recovery plant is not expected until January 1999.

     The Caerwinning Deposit primary and final recovery plants were commissioned
in September 1998.  Due to the nature of the deposit, a dense media separator is
not used in the primary recovery plant.  The plant is operating on a one 12 hour
shift per day.  Diamonds were recovered during the commissioning of the plant
and are reflected at net realizable value as Inventory - diamonds on the balance
sheet at September 30, 1998.  The value of these diamonds was credited against
mine development costs.  From October 1, 1998, diamond recoveries will be
reflected as sales revenue when sold.

     The Montrose Kimberlite Pipe drilling program which commenced in March 1998
was completed in April.  The drill samples consisted of 222 tonnes which have
been processed, milled and handsorted by an independent laboratory.  A total of
31 diamonds were recovered with a total weight of 3.733 carats.  The largest is
a diamond of 0.47 carats.  The diamonds are all of gem or near gem quality.  The
final report on the results of the program prepared by the independent
laboratory were received at the end of August 1998.  The Company is evaluating
the report.  It appears, based on the preliminary evaluation of the report, that
an extensive bulk sample must be carried out before a decision can be made on
whether to exercise the option on the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe.  The option was
extended by one year to October 1999 with the option amount increased from
R2,800,000 to R3,100,000.

     The Company's mining properties under development and mining equipment are
all situated in the Republic of South Africa, where the currency is the Rand.
At September 30, 1998, the rate was Rand 5.872 to US$1 and at November 9, 1998,
the rate was Rand 5.549 to US$1.  In June 1998, the Rand weakened significantly
against other major currencies including the US dollar.  At May 31, 1998, the
rate was Rand 5.156 to US$1 and at June 30, 1998, the rate was Rand 5.93 to
US$1.  The revaluation of the Company's property and equipment caused most of
the foreign currency translation adjustment of $863,269 for the nine months
ended September 30, 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 bulk sample work at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe,
continuation of mining operations at the Caerwinning Deposit and commencement of
mining operations at the Grasdrif Deposit in the first quarter of 1999.

     The Company believes that it requires, at a minimum, additional working
capital of $1,000,000 to satisfy its working capital requirements for the next
12 months, which includes working capital required for the mining operations at
two of its mining properties, the Grasdrif and Caerwinning Deposits.  The
Company recently commenced a private placement of its common shares for up to
$1,000,000.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the
$1,000,000 it requires through the private placement or otherwise.  In the event
the Company is unable to raise the $1,000,000 by December 31, 1998, then
commissioning of the plant and/or production at the Grasdrif Deposit may be
halted and certain of the resources moved to the Caerwinning Deposit to increase
production at that mine.  Additional capital will also be required to conduct
the bulk sample at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe.

     The Company's beliefs concerning its working capital requirements 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.

     The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be
adversely impacted by Year 2000 hardware and software failures.  Failures due to
processing errors potentially arising from calculations using the Year 2000 date
are a known risk.  The Company has addressed this risk as to the availability
and integrity of financial accounting systems and the reliability of operational
systems.  The Company considers its systems to be Year 2000 compliant and does
not expect to incur any further material costs in connection with Year 2000
issues.  All expenses to date have been written off as incurred.  Since the
Company's mining equipment is not date sensitive, the most likely worse case
scenario is the loss of supply of power and fuel to the mining operations.

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

     The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 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 just commenced mining operations at its Caerwinning
Deposit, has not commenced mining operations at its Grasdrif Deposit; 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.
