Canadian miner Lucara Diamond Corp. recovered a 393.5-carat top white Type IIa gem quality diamond from its fully owned Karowe diamond mine in Botswana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This makes it the 7th diamond greater than 300 carats to be recovered at Karowe in the year to date and the third gem quality +300-carat produced from the M\/PK(S) unit of the South Lobe in 2021, along with the 341-carat (14th January, 2021) and 378-carat (26th January, 2021) top white gems recovered this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the same production month a 156.2-carat top white gem quality diamond was also recovered from processing of M\/PK(S) material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eira Thomas, CEO, said: \u201cThis recent recovery continues to demonstrate the strong and consistent resource performance of the South Lobe. The 393-carat and 156-carat diamonds add to the collection of significant diamond recoveries in 2021, as Lucara looks to ramp up construction activities for the proposed underground expansion at Karowe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
