Because of the free cash flow aspect, this is one that he typically shies away from. The mine is now getting close enough to production where it is something he would look at, because over the next 12 months you can see potential for free cash flow. The Ghacho Kue diamond mine development is a fabulous asset. In the diamond space, there is really a lack of new diamond mines. The supply picture is pretty anaemic. The quality of the diamonds and the mine is such that it is going to be one of the highest margin mines globally. You need a 12-18 month view because ramp-up is going to be early 2016 and free cash flow will not start to come out of the mine until mid-2016. Thinks there is quite a bit of low hanging fruit for that mine to grow over time.
If everything goes right, you will get a 27% dividend yield on this. Towards the end of 2017 this should be a fully operating, first major diamond mine discovery and development in 20 years. It is more than two thirds completed. Expects a dividend will go high because this is controlled by 3 Irish billionaires, and they want a dollar dividend.
