Lucapa Diamond Company Limited and its Angolan partners Endiama and Rosas and Petalas announces the recovery of two +100 carat diamonds in February from the Lulo Mine. Both diamonds were recovered from the terraces of Mining Block 46.
The 116 carat type IIa diamond will be sold via a tender at a future date, along with other high value type IIa diamonds recovered recently while the 162 carat will be sold as part of normal run of mine sale later this month.
Lucapa is a diamond miner and explorer with assets in Africa and Australia. It has interests in two producing diamond mines in Angola (Lulo, in which LOM holds 40%) and Lesotho (Mothae, in which LOM holds 70%). The large, high-value diamonds produced from these two niche African diamond mines attract some of the highest prices/ carat globally.
Lucapa and its project partners are also exploring for potential primary source kimberlites or lamproites at the prolific Lulo concession in Angola, the Brooking project in Australia and the Orapa Area F project in Botswana.
