Diamond miner Mountain Province has reported strong third-quarter sales, generating C$93.9-million from the sale of 1.03-million carats, achieving an average value of C$91/ct.

This brought the year-to-date sales to 2.35-million carats, for total proceeds of C$212.5-million.

The strong result has allowed the company to repay its short-term debt facility earlier than originally planned.
