Exceptional recovery of 1,100 diamonds
According to the highlights of Lucapa Diamonds, exceptional results from Little Spring Creek discovery with 1,100 diamonds, including 18 macro-diamonds and 1,082 micro-diamonds, recovered from drill hole LSC/DH002. 11 new lamproite targets also identified at Brooking following interpretation of helicopter borne
TDEM survey data and New lamproite targets include a ~7 hectare anomaly identified near Katie’s Bore, where
20 micro-diamonds and high concentrations of lamproite indicator minerals were previously recovered.
Lucapa Managing Director Stephen Wetherall commented: “The latest micro-diamond results from little
Spring Creek are some of the best I have seen in the diamond space. To recover 1,100 micro- and macro diamonds from a 178kg sample from a single drill hole is remarkable.” “What’s more, we have also identified another 11 lamproite targets to explore at Brooking which were interpreted from the TDEM survey.”
“These exceptional results at Brooking underscore the prospectively for diamond deposits in the Kimberley region of WA, which hosts the world renowned deposits of Argyle and previously Ellendale. We look forward to the next phase of exploration at Brooking with great excitement.”
Lucapa Diamond Company and its partner, Leopold Diamond Company said by providing an update on exploration at the Brooking diamond project in Western Australia’s West Kimberley lamproite province.
