Beneficiation – Calibrated DiamondsBeneficiation – Calibrated Diamonds
27 November 2006 – Petra announces acquisition of 100% of Calibrated DiamondsCDIH focused on cutting and polishing of diamonds using a unique process –polished diamonds of a very high and consistent standardAcquisition of CDIH makes Petra AIM’s first fully integrated mid-tier diamond mining group

Beneficiation – Calibrated DiamondsBeneficiation – Calibrated Diamonds
Significant value (approx. 50%) is added to rough diamond production world wide through the polishing process
Via CDIH, Petra can beneficiate its own production, participating in this value-add
CDIH has the potential to significantly enhance Petra’s revenues and cashflows
Acquisition also in line with focus of African producer countries to beneficiate diamonds at source
Transparency of Petra production gives Petra the ability to build a ‘mine to finger’ supply chain

“Project Alto Cuilo – has the potential to rival some of the world’s greatest kimberlites”
James Picton – Diamond Analyst – WH Ireland
Large diameter drill and 10 tph mobile DMS plant taking bulk samples from the most prospective anomalies – first results expected Q1 2007
Positive bulk sample results could lead to a significant upside to Petra’s valuation
Average value from 310 carat sample previously recovered – US$295/carat
