For the quarter, the group reported a 41% increase in rough diamond revenues at CAD 12.1 million compared to CAD 8.6 million for the same period of last year, chiefly due to the contribution of new production from RHC, where better mining and processing volumes were achieved during the quarter. Gross profit before amortization and depreciation was CAD 3.3 million, compared to a loss of CAD 3.1 million for the same period of last year. Profit attributable to owners of the parent was CAD 0.6 million compared to a loss of CAD 5.1 million for the same period of last year, reflecting the improved operational performance in the current year, and the impact of closure of NJK in the comparative period last year.
