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

Background
- ----------

     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 quarter
ended June 30, 1999, the Company purchased mining plant and equipment and
incurred site establishment costs for the development of the upper terrace at
the Grasdrif Deposit in the amount of $216,813. The equivalent figure for the
Caerwinning Deposit was  $139,822.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The production expenses were incurred at the Caerwinning Deposit, which
commenced production in September 1998.  Due to higher than normal rainfall in
the area, run off from the irrigation lands, as well as a higher than normal
water table, wet ore from the T2 terrace had to be processed by the primary
recovery plant, which was designed as a dry primary recovery plant.  This caused
a drop in tonnes processed as well as in the recovery rate of diamonds,
resulting in the production loss for the three months ending June 30, 1999 of
$167,396, net of diamonds recovered of $16,485 and for the six months ending
June 30, 1999 of $293,788, net of diamonds recovered of $62,462.  The Company
erected a wet recovery plant at this mine, which commenced production during the
third quarter of 1999, resulting in a marked improvement.

     The exploration expenses, incurred at the Grasdrif Deposit, were $92,559,
net of diamonds recovered of $33,425 for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and $185,395, net of diamonds recovered of $44,031 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Production will only commence if the exploration yields positive
results. The lower terrace at the Grasdrif Deposit contains 77 million tonnes of
gravel of which the Company has bulk sampled 115,800 tonnes through September
30, 1999, which represents about 0.15% of the deposit. Between August 1998 and
March 1999 the grade was disappointing. During the current quarter, however, the
grade has improved significantly. The entire run-of-mine production, consisting
of 57 diamonds with a total weight of 142.47 carats, was sold for $103,584
during July 1999. This equates to an average price of $727.06 per carat, 16%
over the budget of $625 per carat. A dense media separation plant was
commissioned on the upper terrace to conduct trial mining of this terrace during
the third quarter of 1999.

     The Company invested $707,761 in the first nine months of 1999 on the
purchase and erection of plant and equipment and mine development at the
Grasdrif Deposit to bring the upper terrace into production by the third quarter
of 1999. In addition the Company invested $1,469,715 in the first nine months of
1999 on the purchase and erection of a wet primary recovery plant at the
Caerwinning Deposit to increase tonnage processed and improve recovery. The wet
plant was placed into production during the third quarter of 1999.

     The increase in interest expense is due to an increase in the amount owed
on the 15%, $3,000,000 International PCM Holdings loan from $1,600,000 in 1998
to $3,000,000 in 1999. The increase in aggregate Company expenses is mainly due
to the additional overhead expenses incurred in supporting the production at the
Caerwinning Deposit, which commenced in September 1998, the bulk sample at the
Grasdrif deposit and the erection of plant and equipment at both deposits.

     The Company's mining properties, mining properties under development and
mining equipment are all situated in the Republic of South Africa, where the
currency is the Rand.  At December 31, 1998 the rate was Rand 5.865 to US$1 and
at June 30, 1999, the rate was Rand 6.13 to US$1. The revaluation of the
Company's property

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

and equipment caused most of the positive foreign currency translation
adjustment of $43,901 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. At November 12,
1999, the rate was Rand 6.2483 to US$1.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company has financed its activities to date through the sale of its
equity and debt securities. A $6 million equity and debt financing agreement was
completed in December 1997 and a $6 million equity financing was completed in
December 1998. The Company's plan of operations for the next 12 months include
the completion of exploratory work at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe properties,
the completion of exploratory work and commencement of mining operations at the
Grasdrif Deposit and continuation of mining operations at the Caerwinning
Deposit.

     Even though the Company has net current assets at June 30, 1999 amounting
to $2,347,611, the Company believes that it requires, at a minimum, additional
working capital of $3,000,000 to satisfy its working capital requirements for
the next 12 months, including the capital that will be required to conduct the
bulk sample at the Montrose Kimberlite Pipe. Should only one of the following
events occur, additional working capital would be needed in the next 12 months.

These events are:

          (a)  that the Caerwinning Deposit has negative cash flow from
               operations;
          (b)  the bulk sample at the Grasdrif Deposit does not identify a
               profitable area of diamondiferous grade of gravel to mine and
               profitable mining operations do not commence; or
          (c)  the mining on the Upper Terrace at Grasdrif results in an
               operating loss.

     The Company is in discussions with bankers to obtain financing secured by
new mining and earthmoving equipment, held free and clear, with a net book value
at June 30, 1999 of $2,987,278.  However, there is no assurance that the Company
will be able to raise the additional capital it requires through the equipment
refinancing or otherwise.  In the event that the Company is unable to raise the
working capital it needs, it will focus its efforts on the activities that its
resources can support at that time.

     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 carat of diamond, commencement and scale of
mining operations, Rand - US$ exchange rate and cost of production. If any of
these assumptions prove to be 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 financing the individual development projects,
the Company may also borrow funds from time to time for working capital and
other general corporate purposes.

Year 2000
- ---------

     The Company recognizes the need to ensure that 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,
integrity and reliability of financial accounting and operational systems. The
Company has completed Year 2000 compliant testing on all hardware used for
financial accounting systems. Assurance has been received from the software
vendors of the accounting systems that all their software in use by the Company
is Year 2000 compliant. 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. The Company has been assured by the suppliers of power and fuel that
they are Year 2000 compliant.
