Merger between West African Diamonds and Stellar Diamonds Limited
Following press speculation the Directors of West African Diamonds (WAD)
the AIM
listed diamond producer wish to announce that Heads of Terms have been
signed to
acquire Stellar Diamonds Limited, a privately held West African diamond
producer, whose principal shareholder is African Aura plc (the
"Acquisition").
The Acquisition, if concluded, constitutes a reverse transaction under
the AIM
Rules and is therefore conditional, inter alia, on the approval of WAD
shareholders.
WAD has requested and been granted a suspension of
trading in its
ordinary shares with immediate effect pending publication of an AIM
Admission
Document to shareholders containing details of the Acquisition.
It is
the
intention of both boards to relist the combined venture on AIM.
Further announcements regarding the Acquisition will be made in due
course and a
circular sent to WAD shareholders containing details of the Acquisition
and
related matters as well as convening a general meeting of the Company to
approve
the Acquisition and associated matters as soon as possible.
Further details will be released when appropriate.
