Hallo und danke für den Thread,

habe selbst die Aktie schon länger.
leider bewegt sie sich nur seitwärts bei Mini-Umsätzen ... aber warten wir es ab.

In der "Wirtschaftswoche" war ein "Diamanten" Artikel drin, wenn ich mich recht entsinne, dann wurde auch Southernera in der Aktienliste aufgeführt.

über Southernera war vor kurzem auch ein sehr interessanter Artikel im "Aktionär" ...

ausserdem:
Bei Industriediamanten hält Kongo im Jahr 2003 Platz 4 der weltweiten Förderung. Im Jahr 2001 machte die Diamantenausfuhr 58 % des kongolesischen Exportwerts aus. Aktuellere Zahlen liegen nicht vor. Für geschürfte 19,4 Mio. Karat wurde ein Ausfuhrwert von 512 Mio. USD erzielt. Der Großteil der Industriediamanten wird durch Zehntausende wenn nicht noch mehr Individidualschürfer ausgebeutet und über ein libanesisch kontrolliertes Händlernetz teils legal, teils illegal außer Landes geschafft.
Abbaugebiete liegen vor allem um Mbuyi-Maji (Provinz Kasai) sowie bei Kisangani. In Kisangani besitzt das AMFI-Tochterunternehmen American Diamond Buyers die Schürfrechte. Noch weitgehend nicht exploriert ist der kongolesische Teil des Kimberlit-Korridors, der sich von der angolanischen Diamanten-Provinz Lunda Norte in die DRK zieht. Hier hat sich ein Joint Venture des kanadischen Unternehmens SouthernEra Diamonds Inc. mit der weltweit größten Minengesellschaft, der australisch-südafrikanischen BHP Billiton, Lizenzen für eine mehr als 13000 km² große Fläche (nahezu die Größe Schleswig-Holsteins) gesichert (www.goldinvest.de, abgelesen 5.5.2006).

SouthernEra increases DRC land holdings to 16,000 square kilometers
Source: AFNS

SouthernEra Diamonds Inc., a Canada-based mining firm, said it has expanded its land holdings in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, former Zaire) by 21 percent, to more than 16,000 square km. The company did this through an agreement with Nyumba Ya Akiba SPRL, a Congolese company with interests in gold and diamond properties.

The Canadian company acquired from the Congolese firm an immediate 74 percent undivided interest in eight exploration permits covering 2,744 square kilometers of diamond prospective ground in the Kabinda area, Kasai Oriental Province. No financial details were disclosed in the press release.

“The DRC will play an important role in the growth of SouthernEra,” said Alasdair MacPhee, the president and CEO. “It is a highly attractive diamond exploration target country, as no systematic exploration has taken place there in the past 40 years, yet it continues to be a high-volume producer. Our agreement with Nyumba Ya Akiba strengthens our position in the DRC and increases the probability of success.”

SouthernEra’s immediate plans on this new ground include the completion of a detailed reconnaissance stream sampling program followed by an aeromagnetic survey over anomalous areas with the aim of locating the kimberlite sources of local alluvial diamonds.

A “kimberlite emplacement corridor” extends from the diamond-producing Lunda Norte Province in neighboring Angola northeast into the DRC. SouthernEra said that most of its permits in addition to its newly acquired interests lie within this corridor, which has yet to be fully explored, as only 11 kimberlites have been identified to date as opposed to over 700 in the neighboring Angolan section.

SouthernEra Diamonds has extensive kimberlite diamond exploration and alluvial programs in the DRC, as well as in Canada, Gabon, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The company also holds the Klipspringer Diamond Mine in South Africa and maintains an 18 percent free-carried interest in the Camafuca Diamond Project in Angola.

Hallo XIO!

Bist Du noch da?

Gestern gab es in Kanada ein sehr hohes Handelsvolumen von 1,9 Millionen Stück. Hat da BHP B. wieder nachgekauft - die haben doch schon ca. 12%?
Liegen Dir andere Informationen vor?

Wo sind eigentlich alle SouthernEra Aktionäre?

XIO!

Vielen Dank für die Infos. Gestern wurden in Toronto 835,000 Stück gehandelt, leider bei fallenden Kursen.

Ich dachte der Run auf 'Kongo-Aktien' sei schon voll im Gang. Wenn das erst noch kommt...umso besser für mein Depot! Warten wir es ab.

Hast Du eigentlich den Artikel von Bloomberg.com vom 7. August gelesen? Ein sehr bullisher Artikel.

Auszug:

"For the first time in 25 years, diamond production is declining and that may make the world´s most coveted stones a better investment than copper, nickel and zinc, this year´s top performing commodities."

Sind wir die einzigen Fans von SE in diesem Theard?

PS, Artikel habe ich gelesen.
Bestätigt auch meine Meinung, daß die Unternehmen bereit sind, über vorgelagerte Small / Microcap Explorer bereit sind, Kapital in diese (hohe) Risikoklasse zu stecken.
Eine Art Eigendynamkann es sich leistenwill den Run verpassen.
Alles hängt von der friedlichen Entwicklung ab.
Glücklicherweise ist die demokratische Rep. Kongo ein (von der Konfession her) katholosches Land.
Geologsch gibt es so gut wie kein Risiko, die Trefferqoute ist extrem hoch. SDM, BRC und auch andere "kleinere" (Tiger ELM, Lindian) haben teilweise beträchtliche Liegenschaften, auf denen sie die Explorationsrechte innehaben.

SDM. z.b. , als einer der grössten Landholder Kongo über 16.000 Quadratkilometer. Das sind 1.600000 = 1,6 Mio Ha. mehr als 10 x so viel wie z.B die derzeit gehypte DIAGEM in Brasilien besitzt.

Und Lateinamerika ist auf Grund der linksextremistischen Strömungen im Prinzip die gleiche Risikoklasse wie der Kongo.

Lustig, nich wahr???

Ja, der Bloomberg-Bericht bringt es auf den Punkt.
Der Kongo ist quasi der Honeypot unter allen Explorationszielen weltweit.
Allerdings gilt es, um zum Multibagger-Erfolg zu kommen, eben was zu riskieren. Umsonst gibts das nicht.

SouthernEra Diamonds 2006 Second Quarter Results
(All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted)


Toronto, Ontario - The Board of Directors of SouthernEra Diamonds Inc. (SouthernEra) (the Company) (TSX: SDM, AIM: SRE) today reported on the Companys 2006 second quarter results.

In the second quarter of 2006 costs of $0.1 million were incurred at Klipspringer Mine consisting of dewatering, security and site maintenance compared to $0.2 million in the comparable quarter of
2005.

Amortization charges of $0.1 million (2005 - $0.1 million) in the second quarter of 2006 relate to the Klipspringer diamond recovery plants and the corporate group fixed assets.

Corporate, general and administration expenses of $0.9 million (2005 - $1.2 million) relate to the
ongoing corporate, office, payroll and administrative costs incurred by the Company.

The current quarter includes a $0.2 million charge to earnings for the fair value of granted and vested common share purchase options and common shares granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company.

The foreign exchange gain in the current quarter of $1.9 million comprises net unrealized gains on Canadian and South African currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and reflects the relative movement against the Company’s reporting currency (the US dollar).

The South African Rand, in which currency the Company’s main monetary liabilities are stated, weakened against the
US dollar in the quarter, and the comparable quarter of 2005 resulting in the gains in the two
periods.

In summary, in the second quarter of 2006, the Company incurred an after tax net income of $0.6 million versus an after tax net loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2005.

Cash used in operating activities in the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $2.0 million versus
$1.7 million in the second quarter of 2005.

In the current quarter, the Company expended cash to
fund care and maintenance costs at the KJV and general and administration charges.

Cash used in the advancement of its exploration and development projects, in the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $2.8 million versus $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2005.

Heightened exploration and evaluation activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted
in the increase year over year.

At June 30, 2005, the Company held approximately $41 million of (December 31, 2005 – $35 million) exploration and development project value on its balance sheet.

Projects are situated in Canada, Gabon, the DRC, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Angola.

BHP Billiton Outlines Exploration Efforts in Africa


25.02.07 / Mining

BHP Billiton is driving forward its joint venture diamond projects in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo amid predictions that more than half of the world’s diamond supply will come from sub-Saharan Africa, Alberto Calderon, the president of the group’s diamonds and specialty products division, said yesterday, Business Day reported.

In a global teleconference updating investors on the activities of the division, Calderon said BHP Billiton and its partners held 9 or 10 concessions in Angola and large tracts of prospecting land in the Congo.

In the BHP Billiton joint venture with Petra Diamonds at Alto Cuilo in Angola, kimberlites or diamond-bearing pipes had been found in 90% of the anomalies or prospective diamond sites identified in initial surveys.

This was unusually high compared with the average of about 50% to 60%. The partners would focus on five or six of the best kimberlite pipes and were drilling the second of these, the report said.

It would be some months before results were published but exploration was at a very interesting stage, Calderon said.

If it went well, the partners would move into a pre-feasibility study.

In BHP Billiton’s second joint venture in Angola, with Portuguese bank Escom, the partners hold three concessions covering 12000km². They are at an earlier stage of exploration.

In the Congo, BHP Billiton’s joint venture with SouthernEra Diamonds has identified sites where drilling will begin shortly. Its second joint venture with Gravity Diamonds is also at an earlier stage.

BHP Billiton has invested $2million - $3 million in a diamond analysis laboratory in Johannesburg which will speed up the process of results analysis to about three months from eight months.

“We are still years away from production, but we are on the right track,” Calderon said.

Calderon said the company's marketing model for diamonds was different from that of the Diamond Trading Company, the marketing arm of De Beers.

Instead of offering buyers a package of mixed diamonds on a “take it or leave it” basis, BHP Billiton emphasized transparency and offered different products to different customer needs, depending on whether buyers wanted small diamonds or fancy stones.

SouthernEra to Decide on Klipspringer

By Charlotte Mathews
01 Mar 2007 at 11:10 AM GMT-05:00

JOHANNESBURG (Business Day) -- SouthernEra Diamonds [TSX:SDM; AIM:SRE] hoped to decide by end of next month on reopening the Klipspringer diamond mine in Limpopo, closed three years ago when the rand strengthened dramatically, CEO Alasdair MacPhee said yesterday.

SouthernEra was examining options though selling could be a possibility.

The mine, in which SouthernEra has a 57% stake and Naka Diamond 43%, is 35 kilometres south of Polokwane. It was built as a 50-50 joint venture with De Beers at a cost of R50 million ($6.84 million) and commissioned in January 2002. It was put on care and maintenance only two years later when the rand moved to R6.50/$1 from R11.60.

According to the SouthernEra, the project area contains several en echelon kimberlite fissures (dykes) with diatremes in the form of blows and small pipes. The JV hosts the now mined-out Marsfontein M1 pipe and Sugarbird Blow, the Leopard Fissure mine, as well as the Kudu Fissure, Kudu Blow and the M8 Fissure.

Last August, SouthernEra began trial mining at Klipspringer using conventional mining focusing on grade control instead of the bulk mining originally used. Under the new method, grades improved 57% to 61.2 carats per 100 tonnes of ore and a parcel of diamonds was recently sold for an average of $100/carat against $81/carat realised in 2002.

The initial estimate for the cost of reopening was about $3 million, mainly for primary development to open more stopes and for infrastructural work. Southern Era is exploring for diamonds in North America, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola and South Africa.

MacPhee said the company’s primary focus was on its prospects in the Congo, where it had permits covering about 16,000 square kilometres of land in the Kasai region.

SouthernEra hoped to bring one of its two alluvial projects into production soon and could generate cash from one of them by next year or late this year.

It considered the Congo and Angola the most promising countries for diamond exploration, but the Congo was more investor-friendly.

INITIAL RESULTS EXTREMELY ENCOURAGING
SouthernEra recovers 3,124 diamonds over 174 cubic metres in DRC

SouthernEra Diamonds Inc says it is aiming at moving its 100% owned Badibanga Alluvial Diamond Project in the DRC into production after diamonds recovered during bulk sampling averaged 2.00 carats per cubic metre.
Author: Rodrick Mukumbira
Posted: Wednesday , 07 Mar 2007

WINDHOEK (Mineweb.com) - One of Canada's fully integrated diamond companies, SouthernEra Diamonds Inc (TSX: SDM, AIM: SRE) says it is aiming at moving its 100 percent Badibanga Alluvial Diamond Project in the DRC into production after diamonds recovered during bulk sampling averaged 2.00 carats per cubic metre.

A total of 3,124 diamonds with an overall weight of 348.11 carats has been recovered to date from a sampling of 174 cubic metres. The largest recovered diamond weighed 1.75 carats. The company is interested in extracting a representative parcel of 2,000 carats of rough diamonds for valuation purposes.

The 2,000 carat bulk sample is phase one of the Badibanga program and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of the year and the company said in a statement Wednesday that based on positive results from phase one, the second phase will consist of methodical pitting and drilling to increase confidence levels in the resource and facilitate a decision to mine.

"The initial results are extremely encouraging and have already gone a long way in confirming the reliability of the historical grade data received late in 2006. Our objective is not one of detailed resource definition but to move this project into production and generate cashflow as soon as possible," said chief executive and president Alasdair MacPhee in the statement.

The Badibanga project is one of SouthernEra's two large alluvial diamond projects. It is located in the Kasai Oriental Province approximately 60 kilometres to the northwest of the producing Mbuji-Mayi Kimberlite diamond region.

SouthernEra said historical reports indicate that, between 1926 and 1955, the Belgian mining companies Forminiere, E.K.L. And Socieite de Miniere du Beceka mined in excess of 194 million carats from the area within and adjacent to SouthernEra's permits.

It said that the initial bulk sample programme is targeting an alluvial flats area, named Flats D-E and F within an area historically termed by Forminiere as the "Lubi-Lukula Triangle".

The company quoted Forminiere exploration reports that illustrated the presence of historical non-43-101 compliant, unmined, diamond deposits totalling 3.49 million carats within the triangle.

"This deposit is reported in a 1951 reserve table that does not report volume and grade data but instead reports on estimated carats within each alluvial flat," SouthernEra said. "These reserves do not conform to the CIM definition standards on mineral resources and mineral reserves. Included in the technical report is a historical map showing pit sample locations with the recovered diamond grade from each pit."

It added, "The map indicates that the average diamond grades in the alluvial flats approximate one carat per cubic metre with average grades of individual flats on the Lubi River as high as 1.7 carats per cubic metre.

"The highest individual sample pit was historically documented at 10.61 carats per cubic metre."

The junior miner is evaluating a second alluvial project (70 percent owned Tshikapa alluvial diamond project) in conjunction with two joint partners in the DRC. SouthernEra also holds the Klipspringer Diamond Mine in South Africa and maintains an 18 percent free-carried interest in the Camafuca Diamond Project of Angola.

Mwana Africa Offer for SouthernEra


RNS Number:0799T
Mwana Africa PLC
16 March 2007


NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN OR INTO THE
UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN OR SOUTH AFRICA



MWANA AFRICA PLC ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO MAKE A SHARE EXCHANGE OFFER VALUED AT
C$69.7 (#30.8) MILLION TO ACQUIRE ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF SOUTHERNERA DIAMONDS
INC. AT AN IMPLIED PRICE OF C$0.420 (#0.185) PER SHARE


OFFER REPRESENTS A 42.4% PREMIUM TO SOUTHERNERA SHAREHOLDERS


(ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE STATED IN CANADIAN $, STERLING EQUIVALENTS ARE
CALCULATED AT #1: $2.266)

London, March 16, 2007 - Mwana Africa Plc ("the Company" or "Mwana", AIM Symbol
MWA-L) announced today that it intends to make a share exchange take-over bid
(the "Offer") to acquire all of the outstanding common shares ("SouthernEra
Common Shares") of SouthernEra Diamonds Inc. ("SouthernEra", TSX Symbol SDM-T;
AIM Symbol SRE-L) on the basis of one Mwana ordinary share ("Mwana Ordinary
Shares") for every 2.3333 SouthernEra Common Shares held. The Company will
consider making appropriate proposals to option and warrant holders in due
course. SouthernEra is a Canadian based integrated diamond company holding
alluvial and kimberlite diamond exploration projects in the Democratic Republic
of Congo ("DRC"), an 18 per cent. carried interest in the Camafuca mine in
Angola, a 57 per cent. interest in the Klipspringer diamond mine in South Africa
and advanced diamond exploration projects in Canada.

The Offer would represent an implied offer price of approximately C$0.420
(#0.185) per SouthernEra Common Share (based on Mwana's 15 March, 2007 closing
price on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("AIM") of #0.433)
and would value the outstanding SouthernEra Common Shares at approximately $69.7
million (#30.8 million). Based on the number of SouthernEra Common Shares
outstanding, as publicly disclosed, Mwana would issue up to an aggregate of 64.1
million Mwana Ordinary Shares to SouthernEra shareholders under the Offer which
would represent, if fully diluted, 20.6% of Mwana's Ordinary Shares (excluding
treasury shares) after giving effect to such issuance.

Based on the closing price of Mwana's Ordinary Shares on AIM on 15 March, 2007,
the implied offer price represents a premium of approximately 42.4% over the
closing price of SouthernEra Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange of
C$0.295 as at 15 March, 2007.

The Company holds in aggregate a total of 16,457,500 SouthernEra Common Shares,
representing approximately 9.92% of the outstanding SouthernEra Common Shares.

In addition, the Company has entered into lock-up agreements with JP Morgan
Asset Management (UK) Limited ("JP Morgan") and OZ Management, L.L.C. ("OZ
Management"), both on behalf of certain of their managed funds, in respect to an
aggregate 36,743,330 SouthernEra Common Shares, representing approximately
22.14% of the outstanding SouthernEra Common Shares. Under the lock-up
agreements, the shareholders who are parties to the agreements have agreed to
tender their SouthernEra Common Shares to the Offer. JP Morgan and OZ Management
have agreed to tender an aggregate 15,898,416 SouthernEra Common Shares to the
Offer unconditionally, amounting to an aggregate 9.58% of the outstanding
SouthernEra Common Shares (which, when combined with the SouthernEra Common
Shares already held by Mwana, aggregates to 19.5% of the outstanding SouthernEra
Common Shares). JP Morgan and OZ Management have also agreed to tender an
aggregate 20,844,914 SouthernEra Common Shares representing 12.56% of the
outstanding SouthernEra Common Shares, on terms permitting the withdrawal of
such SouthernEra Common Shares in certain circumstances involving a competing
offer or transaction, as contemplated in SouthernEra's shareholder rights plan.
In the event of a competing offer or transaction that satisfies the requisite
criteria, Mwana has the right to match such offer. A copy of each lock-up
agreement is available to the public and may be obtained on request from the
Company.

"Mwana's strategy is to develop into a major resource group on the African
continent, exploiting opportunities across different countries and commodities,
and focusing on being one of the most efficient and low cost producers in
Africa. The strategy includes partnering with industry majors on new projects
and also being a preferred vehicle for African investors and entrepreneurs. The
proposal to merge Mwana and SouthernEra will allow the management of Mwana to
apply its skills to the projects owned by SouthernEra in the DRC and Angola"
said Mr. Baring, Chairman of Mwana.

Mwana holds exploration assets in a range of commodities in the DRC, Ghana and
in Zimbabwe, as well as production assets in Zimbabwe and the DRC, and has been
actively building an African diamond exploration and production business. In May
2006, Mwana acquired 20 per cent. of Societe Miniere de Bakwanga ('MIBA'), the
DRC's leading diamond producer based in Mbuji Mayi, signalling its entry into
the diamond industry and significantly strengthening its interests in the DRC.
Building on this, in November 2006 Mwana announced a proposed merger with
Gravity Diamonds Limited ("Gravity"), the diamond exploration business with
valuable exploration assets in the DRC, which is expected to complete during the
second quarter of this year.

"We look forward to SouthernEra's shareholders participating in the combined
group. We believe that Mwana's management has the drive, commitment and
experience to ensure that SouthernEra's various opportunities, in particular the
Badibanga and Tshikapa projects in the Kasai region and Camafuca project in
Angola, are developed in an economical and expeditious manner. The diamond
concessions of MIBA, Gravity and SouthernEra are contiguous in the DRC. We
believe that, developed together, they would form a solid foundation for a major
African diamond exploration and production business. This would be to the
benefit of both groups' shareholders." said Mr. Baring.

Mwana has engaged Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") as financial adviser in
connection with the Offer.

Canaccord Adams Limited acts as Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker to Mwana in
the United Kingdom. JP Morgan Cazenove Limited also acts as Joint Broker to
Mwana in the United Kingdom.

Full details of the Offer will be included in a formal offer and take-over bid
circular to be mailed to SouthernEra shareholders (save where the directors of
Mwana consider that it is necessary or desirable to exclude certain SouthernEra
shareholders in certain jurisdictions from the Offer). Mwana will formally
request a list of SouthernEra's shareholders and expects to mail the offer and
take-over bid circular to SouthernEra's shareholders as soon as reasonably
practicable following receipt of the shareholder list.

The formal offer and take-over bid circular will be filed on SEDAR. SouthernEra
shareholders should read the circular and any other materials relating to the
Offer, copies of which can be obtained at the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com
(http://www.sedar.com).


About Mwana

Mwana is an AIM-listed pan-African natural resource company with a portfolio of
producing and exploration assets in a range of commodities across Africa. These
include producing nickel and gold mines in Zimbabwe, gold exploration projects
in Ghana and gold, zinc and copper-cobalt projects in the DRC.

In May 2006, Mwana acquired 20 per cent. of Societe Miniere de Bakwanga
('MIBA'), the country's leading diamond producer based in Mbuji Mayi, via its
purchase of Sibeka P/L, signalling its entry into the diamond industry and
significantly strengthening its interests in the DRC. MIBA has produced an
average of 6 million carats of diamonds per year over the past five years.

In November 2006, Mwana announced a proposed merger with Gravity Diamonds
Limited ("Gravity"), a diamond exploration company based in Australia and the
DRC, to be effected pursuant to two schemes of arrangement (the first between
Gravity and its shareholders and the second between Gravity and its listed
optionholders). It is anticipated that, subject to the receipt of shareholder,
optionholder and court approvals, the schemes will take effect during the second
quarter of this year.

Mwana has a strong management team with many years of combined experience of
project acquisition and development in Africa. Including SouthernEra's team of
experienced explorers and developers, Mwana's directors anticipate that the
combined group will be well positioned to become a potent force in diamond
exploration and development in Africa and Canada.
