Who is Petra Diamonds?

Who is Petra Diamonds? Petra Diamonds is a leading independent diamond mining group and an increasingly important supplier of rough diamonds to the international market. The Company has interests in six producing mines: three underground mines in South Africa (Finsch, Cullinan, Koffiefontein) and one open-pit mine in Tanzania (Williamson), as well as, via its Joint Venture Partnership with Ekapa Mining, the extensive tailings and underground operations in Kimberley. It also maintains an exploration programme in Botswana. Petra has grown rapidly in recent years, and plans to steadily increase annual production to 5.3 million carats by FY 2019. The Group has a major resource base in excess of 300 million carats. Petra’s fast development has established the Company as London’s largest quoted diamond mining group and its exceptional growth profile positions the Group as a unique investment opportunity within the sector. This makes Petra one of the few mid-tier diamond producers to offer a significant and growing production profile. This growth in output places the Company in a strong position to benefit from the positive long-term fundamentals for the diamond industry, where demand is forecast to outpace supply. Petra conducts all operations according to the highest ethical standards and will only operate in countries which are members of the Kimberley Process. Petra is quoted with a premium listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. Petra Diamonds and the Northern Cape With interest in three operations in the Northern Cape, Petra is proud to be part of the future of this Province, which can be regarded as the birthplace of the modern diamond industry. Petra’s philosophy is that its operations should benefit the communities in which its mines are, and therefore these local communities are regarded as high priority and the mines’ principal stakeholders. Apart from creating employment, with local recruitment receiving preference, investment by Petra is expected to extend the lives of these operations, thereby contributing to the local economy and ensuring that optimal benefit will accrue to their local communities. Petra is committed to being a good corporate citizen. This not only includes disposing responsibly of the commitments imposed by its Mining Licences, such as contribution to development through its Social and Labour Plans, and caring for the environment through its Environmental Management Plans, but also striving to go beyond what is expected to make a positive impact in communities whenever possible.
