DiamondCorp, owner of the Lace diamond mine in South Africa, sold 7,121 carats in the past three months through a combination of direct sales and competitive tender for $782,455.
Of these, the company said, 4,863 carats were recovered from kimberlite mining.
“Prices achieved in each size fraction offered for sale were in line with prices achieved in April, with the exception of cheaper goods where some weakness was experienced”, the company said.
