Introduction 
We have audited the annual financial statements of Griqualand West Diamond
Mining Company Dutoitspan Mine Limited for the year ended 31 December 2000
set out herein. These annual financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
annual financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Statements of South African
Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the

free of material misstatement. An audit includes: 
- examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
  included in the annual financial statements,

  estimates made by management, and  
- evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
 
Audit opinion 
In our opinion, the annual financial statements fairly present, in all
material respects, the financial position of the company at 31 December 2000
and the results of its operations and cash flow information for the year then
ended in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice, and in the manner required by the Companies Act in South
