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; http://www.greggsgemhouse.com Greggs Gems House
