Lucapa's Mothae Mine Yields 89ct. Yellow

RAPAPORT... Lucapa Diamond Company has recovered an 89-carat yellow roughdiamond from its Mothae mine in Lesotho, it said Friday. The miner found the stone during bulk sampling in theasset's southeast zone. The diamond is not part of the miner's original forecastfor the Mothae resource, it said. "Having recently recovered a 25-carat yellow diamond fromthe previously untested neck zone in our bulk-sampling program, we aretremendously encouraged that this 89-carat diamond was recovered from the southeastzone, an area of the Mothae kimberlite pipe where there has been very limitedhistorical testing," said Stephen Wetherall, Lucapa's managing director. Lucapa bought 70% of Mothae in 2017, with the Lesothogovernment holding the remaining shares.
