Shares in Botswana Diamonds (LON:BOD) climbed almost 16% on Thursday after it revealed that Vast Resource (LON:VAST), with which it has signed a memorandum of understanding to develop diamond resources in Zimbabwe, had been awarded exclusive access to a diamond concession<\/a> in the African nation’s Marange Fields area.<\/p>\n

Vast Resource is expected to carry out an initial assessment of the asset with a view to concluding a joint venture agreement, the principal terms of which have been agreed, for exploration, mining and marketing.<\/p>\n

The 15 square kilometre Heritage Concession is close to an area of Vast’s historic Marange Diamond Fields claim and is believed to be an extension of the same geological system.<\/p>\n

Botswana Diamonds surged almost 16% to 1.2 p by 9:45 am after the news, while Vast Resources shares closed up 5.7%.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Vast acquired a database relating to diamonds in Zimbabwe and had, until 2010, carried out its own exploration in the field using information from the database.<\/p>\n
