Lucapa Diamond Company has announced the recovery of more large diamonds from the Lulo Diamond Project in Angola. The latest recoveries of large Specials (>10.8 carats) include Type IIa diamonds weighing 83 carats and 68 carats.
Recent recoveries also include five other +50 carat diamonds. These large diamond recoveries “follow the return of alluvial mining activities to Mining Block 8 at Lulo”, says Lucapa, “ which has been a prolific producer of large and premium-value diamonds including Angola’s biggest recorded diamond – the 404 carat 4th February Stone, which sold for US$16 million”.
All seven +50 carat stones will be included in the next parcel of Lulo diamonds to be sold in September 2017.
