Gregg P. Lyell
Gregg’s Gems and Mining, LLc
Laurel, Maryland. USA

My name is Gregg Lyell and I have been in the diamond and gold trade
since 1969. For the last 14 years or so I was living in Sierra
Leone, west Africa mining and buying diamonds and gold. I held the
Diamond Dealers license from 2000 until my departure back home in
2008.

My home is now in Maryland next to DC but I am always ready to go
back to Africa and work. I take investors to West Africa, mainly
Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria for rough diamonds and
gold.

We also offer mining operation setups in the countries as well to
interested individuals. I can take an investor and set him/her up in
a diamond buying operation in Sierra Leone from starting their
company to exporting their diamonds through the GDO, in Freetown.

I am currently organizing a small gold mining operation in Northern
Nigeria and my future plans are for moving to Ecuador for gold
mining and give diamonds a rest for awhile.

If I can assist you in any way please contact me and let me know
what you want. I offer my cutter for your diamond cutting needs as
well and that includes re-cutting of damaged and broken polished
diamonds also.

Thank you and have a good day
Gregg and Yema Lyell
