A follow up exploration program involving heavy mineral stream and loam sampling complemented with soil geochemistry sampling was undertaken at Brooking over six identified target areas.

Lucapa Diamond and Leopold Diamond provides update from the Brooking diamond project in Western Australia’s West Kimberley lamproite province in under the new exploration program since October last year.  Brooking project followed up on the significant micro- and macro-diamond counts in Q4 2018.

In another follow up recovery reached to about of 1,100 micro and macro diamonds.  A total of 11 diamonds weighing 0.284 carats were recovered from the processing.
