(baystreet.ca) - We’ve been bullish on the future of diamonds for as long as we can remember. The trick is, of course, finding the right company to invest in. Open-pit diamond mines can command premium prices like nothing else in the resource sector, but they’re hard to find with only select pockets globally available. Washington Companies this month offering to pay $1.2 billion for Dominion Diamond Corp. and DeBeers re-upping its partnership with Nambia for offshore diamond dredging efforts have reinvigorated our attention to this investment space. There is still strong diamond demand and expectations for that to continue for decades to come. There’s a good reason that Washington is willing to pay a 44% premium for Dominion and for DeBeers to ink a ten-year agreement with Nambia to scour its seabed for diamonds washed out to sea by the Oranje river. It’s also more than adequate information telling us that now is the time to get into a diamond miner with strong upside. And we’ve found one in Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: ADD)(OTCPK: ASDZF).
