PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Africa-focused Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered its fifth diamond larger than 50 ct from the Mothae operation, in Lesotho, since commercial production started in January.

The recovery of the top-colour 55 ct stone was recovered only shortly after the recovery of a 128 ct diamond from Lucapa’s Lulo alluvial operation, in Angola, earlier this year.
