Chapter 1 Targets
31. 1. Demand > Supply
2. Greater willingness to work in countries outside
of our comfort zone – exploration success
3. Treatments & synthetics potential threat
4. Competitor strategies & successes
5. Potential loss of 3rd party suppliers
6. Currency strength in producer countries
7. Further leveraging the value proposition behind the DTC
8. Increasing demands from stakeholders: shareholders,
sovereign governments, NGOs
But many challenges remain ...
32. The key issue is the looming supply gap

34. ♦ In the 60s and 70s the combined competition
spent as much as we did on exploration
♦ Since the 1980s it is estimated that our
combined competition spent double what we
do on exploration
♦ The competition is also not managing to fill
the supply gap …
But our competition has not been
resting on their laurels
35. Others are investing in the diamond
business because the returns are attractive
…

47. However, we need to be doing more
business in the world’s ‘high-risk’ areas
World map illustrating cratons
Exploration target areas: blue (low) – red (high) country risk
Future sources of diamond production …
48. Looking to De Beers’ future
♦ Limited post 2010 Group expansion options
♦ Limited quality production & project acquisition opportunities
–Competition law and anti-trust considerations
–Availability and Cost
–Competition for quality/high margin projects
♦ Post 2010 growth can only come from new discoveries
♦ New discoveries can only come from early stage exploration
–Own direct exploration
–Joint venture exploration
–Junior acquisition at early project stage
–Combination of the above
49. “The aim of this group have been –
and they still remain – to earn profits,
but to earn them in such a way as to
make a real and permanent
contribution to the well-being of the
people and the development of
southern Africa.” (… and beyond)
Sir Ernest Oppenheimer, 1954
