Three 100+ Carat Diamonds Recovered at Lulo
Lucapa Diamond Company Limited (ASX: LOM) and its partners Empresa Nacional de Diamantes E.P. (“Endiama”) and Rosas & Petalas are pleased to announce the recovery of three +100 carat diamonds by Sociedade Mineira Do Lulo (“SML”) from the Lulo alluvial diamond mine in Angola.
The 131 carat is a Type IIa D-colour diamond, the 118 carat is a brown diamond and the 133 carat stone is a lower-quality grey diamond.
Six +100 carat diamonds have been recovered from Mining Block 46 (“MB46”) in the last three months, reaffirming its recent elevation to the Lulo mining block with the best +100 carat diamond occurrence rate – one +100 carat diamond for every ~20,000 bcm’s of gravel. The Canguige catchment and adjacent priority kimberlites are already the focus of the Project Lulo JV kimberlite exploration program, and the frequent recovery of large high-value diamonds underpins the prospectivity of this area.
