  Lucapa Diamond Company announces the results from the latest sale of diamonds from the Lulo alluvial diamond mine in Angola. A total of 3,477 carats of Lulo diamonds sold for gross proceeds of US$2.3 million (A$3.2 million) on a 100% basis, representing an average price of US$663 (A$911)/ carat. Total sales at year to date amounted to 12,266 carats for US$15.7 million (A$23.2 million) or US$1,283 (A$1,892)/ carat at Lulo diamonds.
