Firestone looks as if it could sparkle
Article Abstract:
Firestone Diamonds is less risky than most diamond mining companies, and is valued at less than its Hondeklip Bay mine. The company is focusing on diamonds which benefit from price controls imposed by the Central Selling Organization of De Beers. Price volatility is thus less of a problem in this sector. The company mines alluvial diamonds rather than becoming involved in deep mining, which also reduces its risk levels. The diamonds tend to be of the higher-value gem quality rather than industrial diamonds.

Discovery should reverse decline
Article Abstract:
Firestone Diamonds is a diamond miner which should see its stock price strengthened following a discovery in Botswana in the Mopipi area. The comoany could have found a kimberlite field, and there should be confirmation in two months' time. The company's future will depend on whether it can secure a good agreement with a larger mining company. Firestone is likely to want to carry out further research prior to making such an agreement.
