Ghaghoo mine update
The Board of Botswana Diamonds, the London AIM and BSE listed
diamond explorer, announces that, despite intensive advanced and
ongoing discussions with interested parties, the Board has been
unable to secure a new joint venture partner to acquire the Ghaghoo
mine before the extended long-stop date of 10(th) May 2022. The
Share Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with Gem Diamonds Limited
("Gem Diamonds") for the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary of Gem
Diamonds Botswana Ltd ("GDB"), has therefore now lapsed.
Gem Diamonds have indicated their willingness to re-engage on
substantially the same terms as the Agreement if BOD and a partner
can finalise an agreement and accordingly, BOD is continuing its
discussions with potential joint venture partners.
The information contained within this announcement is deemed by
the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under

2018. The person who arranged for the release of this announcement
on behalf of the Company was James Campbell, Director.
