WWW diamond valuation presentation
WWW diamond valuation presentationWas searching for clues as to how long valuations will take. I think it will be highly variable depending on how many they get, since they must be done one after the other and not in parallel.
Found this presentation from WWW. PGD is mentioned way back in 2007.
https://www.diamondwww.com/files/presentation/Botswana_2007_07_[Compatibility_Mode].pdf
Shows how price increases with size (no values on Y axis :-|) , how you can know if someone is stealing bigger diamonds, and lots of other stuff. One of the slides is a bit scary since it indicates that WWW's values can be lower than market expectations IF there are larger diamonds? Don't really understand this or what they are trying to say. Guess you had to be at the presentation.
They also indicate that 2000 carats is considered a bulk sample, but I know that De Beers could make business decisions on 1500 carats. We have ~1150 carats.
I think that the valuations could come as early as mid-feb. Perhaps PGD will bring the parcel back and display it at the PDAC. De Beers has done this before using security guards. The guards protected our diamonds but a De Beers laptop was stolen!!
