where he established strong ties to the resource sector and financial market.   
Prior to entering the equity capital markets, Basil spent 8 years in the mining 
sector managing the construction and commissioning of a variety of mining       
projects including crushing circuits, alluvial processing plants and CIP        
processing plants. He has also supervised the implementation of exploration     
programs in Australia and PNG.  Basil holds a Bachelor of Business in Financial 
Risk and Risk Management.                                                       
At Tawana, Basil will combine his extensive corporate finance and mining        
experience to accelerate final feasibility and development of the Kareevlei Wes 
project and bulk sample testing at Blacktop.                                    
Commenting on the appointment, Managing Director, Wolf Marx said: "I am         
delighted that Basil has agreed to join Tawana. The Company will benefit greatly
from his corporate and operational skills as we progress to mining status on the
Kareevlei Wes project. I am looking forward to working with Basil and being able
to devote more of my time on the technical aspects of diamond exploration and   
mining."
