ASX-listed Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered the fifth diamond weighing more than 100 ct at its joint venture Lulo mine, in Angola, this year.

The 176 ct Type IIa diamond recovered is also the forty-fifth diamond weighing more than 100 ct to be recovered from the mine, and the eighth largest since alluvial operations began in 2015.

The company says the continuing recovery of these and other large, high-value diamonds has been a major source of revenue for Lulo over the years, as well as being a major informant to Lucapa’s kimberlite exploration programme.

Lucapa continues to hunt for the source of these large diamonds through the kimberlite programme, which is currently bulk sampling kimberlites close proximity to the blocks where the 176 ct diamond was recovered.
