Lulo Samples recovers two diamonds of 1.33cts
1.08 carat diamond and 0.25 carat Type IIa diamond recovered from L071 sample Lucapa Diamond Company provides an update on kimberlite exploration at the Lulo diamond project in Angola. The kimberlite exploration program is designed to discover the primary hard-rock source(s) of the exceptional alluvial diamonds being mined in the greater Cacuilo valley. The kimberlite bulk samples from L071, which is located in the Canguige catchment area, have now been treated. The sample totalling 2,380 bulked m3 was positive for diamonds, recovering two diamonds for a total weight of 1.33 carats. The largest is a 1.08 carat diamond and the second is a 0.25 carat Type IIa diamond. The excavation and extraction of bulk samples from the remaining priority kimberlites and testing of anomalies of interest continues within the Canguige catchment area in our efforts to process as many bulk samples as possible this dry season and to identify the source of the diamonds recovered in the Cangui
