Decrease in Diamond Rough Supply.

Reports indicate that BHP Billiton Mines company has raised its prices by 8 percent. The reported increase is a result of the lower diamond output by Ekati, BHP’s only diamond mine, in a very strong rough diamonds market. Ekati produced 4.1 million carats for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of 27 percent from 2003.
