Diamond miner Lucara Diamond Corp has recovered a 36.92 ct blue diamond from its 100%-owned Karowe diamond mine in Botswana.

The diamond is described as a blue Type IIb of high quality and was recovered through the X-ray transmission machines at Karowe from ore sourced from stockpile material.

In addition to the blue diamond, Lucara also recovered five other diamonds weighing over 100 ct each in the year-to-date from the processing of stockpile material.

"Lucara is delighted to announce the recovery of this stunning blue, high-quality diamond from the Karowe mine, which again reinforces the special nature of this asset.

“Recoveries such as this demonstrate the value contained within the company's surface stockpiles, which remain an important source of mill feed and a contributor to ongoing diamond recoveries,” says Lucara president and CEO William Lamb.
