The steady improvement in the rough diamond market seen at the end of 2023 has continued in the first quarter of 2024. Lucapa saw good demand and stronger prices for diamonds larger than two carats in their sales during the Quarter. The industry is responding well to the challenges it faced in 2023 and they expect the market to improve steadily over the course of 2024.
In February 2024, a general meeting of shareholders approved a 1 for 5 share consolidation which was completed in March 2024. Lucapa now has 289,141,849 issued shares post-consolidation, with the fully diluted post-consolidated issued capital at 301,300,036.
