Lucapa Diamond Company Limited announce that mining has resumed at the Lulo Alluvial Diamond Mine in Angola following the peaceful end to the blockade by local community leaders as announced on 3 February 2025. Processing continued during the blockade, with diamonds being recovered from stockpiled gravel and tailings. This ensured the carat recoveries remain on track against targets for the month.
Sociedade Mineira Do Lulo, the operating entity of Lulo will review its alluvial mining plan, to attempt to mitigate the impact caused by the disruption and catch up on the overburden stripping and gravel mining that would ordinarily have occurred over the period.
Kimberlite bulk sampling will now recommence, with previously mined samples being transported to the kimberlite bulk sampling plant for processing. SML has reiterated its commitment to its existing social programs within the local community, which will continue as planned over the life of the mine.
