"Our investments directly linked to the issue of production were above 100 million dollars during the last year", he said.

According to the official, of the total invested, US$70 million was directed towards increasing the stake in Sociedade Mineira de Catoca – now holding 41 percent of the capital.

As an example, I must mention that these investments were made either in terms of projects already in operation, to improve, for example, our provision, our participation, in the specific case of Catoca , we had a 32.8 percent stake, today we have a 41 percent stake and that cost us 70 million dollars," said the official.

The remaining 30 million were allocated to two other diamond projects, said the official, who was speaking at a press conference, alluding to the company's 41st anniversary.
