Vancouver-based Lucara has recovered 13 diamonds greater than 100 carats from its Karowe Mine, two of which top 200 carats.
Of the stones discovered, eight are gem-quality diamonds. All were found during the second quarter.
“The ongoing recovery of these large and exceptional white diamonds continues to drive increased value for Lucara and its shareholders, and has established the Karowe Mine as a rare source of truly exceptional diamonds,” says William Lamb, Lucara’s president and chief executive officer (CEO).
“The ongoing recovery of such stones is encouraging for a potential third exceptional stone tender during the fourth quarter of 2014.”
The five largest gem-quality stones weigh 259 carats, 239 carats, two weigh 153 carats each, and one is 133 carats.
Since the beginning of the second quarter, Karowe has produced 239 diamonds larger than 10.8 carats, including 27 diamonds weighing between 50 and 100 carats. Karowe is located in Botswana.
