Name of the project and location
Bouro-Mandala diamond project, Guinea.

Project description
SearchGold Resources and Mano River Resources have signed a joint-venture (JV) agreement to establish a commercial diamond mine exploiting the very high-grade Bouro kimberlite dykes of Mano, and the high-grade Mandala alluvial-diamond deposits of SearchGold.

The JV’s objectives are to accelerate the development of the project, and resume mining activities through the installation of a dense media-separation diamond-treatment plant, with the capacity to treat both alluvial and the bulk samples from the kimberlites.
Systematic exploration of the Ouria permit is intended to increase the known resources.

For the first-year programme, a budget of $3-million has been assigned to the project.
