Thursday, April 8, 2010: - The Ancestral Estate, Wessex -
His Grace the Duke of Wessex and His Secretary of Energy and Natural Resources are pleased to announce to the world the formation of Wessex Diamonds, a mixed nationalized-private diamond exploration firm, which is now accepting investment offers from states around the world, up to 49% of the company (the other 51% to be owned by His Grace's Government and the People of Wessex).
"This is an exciting day for the People of Wessex, and the world," opined His Grace, Lancaster of Wessex, at the press conference of this date at the Ancestral Estate, Wessex. "Diamonds have an aura and mystique, all of their own, and our mining operations in the north of our nation, according to research, may produce some of the finest the world has yet to see. We are hoping to discover both white and coloured diamonds."
Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2010, with exploration starting in 2011-2012.
The mining operation will have some of the most stringent environmental regulations in the world. "There is nothing more important to the people and His Grace's Government than mining that will affect the natural landscape in the least possible way, while maintaining world-class safety and pollution standards. We will strive to produce minimal waste in the most cost-effective manner," declared the Secretary of State.
Estimated costs of creating the infrastructure for both the firm itself and the mining operations required sit at approximately RCS1.73 billion (US$3 billion).
Interested states wishing to tender offers may contact His Grace's Government directly, with the amount desired to be invested (up to US$1.47 billion, or 49%). Returns on diamonds discovered and subsequently sold will be in direct proportion to the amount invested.
