114 Carat Diamond recovered at Lulo

Lucapa Diamond Company Limited and its partners Empresa Nacional de Diamantes E.P. and Rosas & Petalas have announced the recovery of a 114 carat diamond from the Lulo Diamond Project in Angola. The 114 carat diamond was recovered from alluvial Mining Block 6. It is the 11th +100 carat diamond recovered to date and the third so far in 2018, further underlining the special large-stone nature of the Lulo diamond concession.

 

The 114 carat diamond adds to a significant inventory of large diamonds currently held for a later sale by

Lulo mining company Sociedade Mineira Do Lulo.

 

Lucapa is also furthering two exploration projects in known diamond provinces. This includes an extensive exploration program launched at Brooking in the West Kimberley lamproite province in Western Australia to follow up on the discovery of lamproite with high concentrations of micro and macro diamonds. Lucapa is also scheduled to drill its kimberlite targets at the Orapa Area F project in Botswana’s Orapa diamond field in H2 2018.
