Mantle Diamonds Limited is a private global diamond resource company (registered in England & Wales) with projects at varying levels of exploration and development in the Canada, Finland, DRC, Liberia and Mali. Established by Lester Kemp and Rupert Baring in September 2005, the company is currently held by a variety of institutions and private investors. Originally founded on grass roots exploration projects, the company is now focused on developing a strong cash flow business model and has as such acquired near term production assets which will enhance shareholder value.
Why Mantle Diamonds Limited? Our planet has a fairly complex layered structure, with a relatively thin crust overlying what is known as the mantle. It is here in the mantle that diamonds are formed, under intense pressure and temperature. As diamonds originate in the mantle, it was fitting that the company was named Mantle Diamonds Limited.
The current global credit crisis has created exceptional buying opportunities with publicly-listed diamond companies trading at a substantial discount to their asset values. The company plans to use it's access to capital to fund one or more acquisitions in the near future.
The company is also looking for strategic investment partners (family funds / sovereign wealth funds) to help fund the company's growth by industry consolidation.
