Lucara Diamond Corp. is releasing the results from its second exceptional stone tender of 2015. Lucara produced these very large, high-quality exceptional stones from its 100-per-cent-owned Karowe mine in Botswana.
The exceptional stone tender included 13 single stones, totalling 1,440 carats, achieving revenues of $29.7-million (U.S.) ($20,625 per carat).
Highlights:
10 diamonds sold for more than $1.0-million each, including five stones which sold for in excess of $2.0-million each;
Lot 801, the 336.3-carat Type IIa diamond sold, for $8.18-million ($24,324 per carat);
Lot 802, the 8.03-carat pink diamond, sold for $911,911 ($113,563 per carat);

For the brochure and images of the diamonds sold in this and previous exception stone tenders, please visit the Lucara website.
Lucara also made a recent recovery of a 348-carat and a 255-carat stone. Both stones were recovered by the new XRT machines installed at the Karowe mine. The quality of the stones will be assessed only once they have been cleaned.
William Lamb, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We are happy with the results of this sale with the final figures being in line with expectations. We have noticed that in the current market, buyers have become more conservative when considering pricing for the more complicated stones, which includes the 336-carat stone sold in the current tender.
"The recovery of the 348-carat diamond from the high-value south lobe is the largest stone recovered from the Karowe mine to date. We are very pleased with the current operation of the newly installed XRT equipment and the continued recovery of our exceptional diamonds."
