RAPAPORT... Lucapa Diamond Company sold $7.4 million (AUD 9.2 million)
of rough diamonds at a tender of goods from its Lulo deposit in Angola, the
miner said Friday.
The sale of 3,214 carats fetched an average price of $2,298
per carat, the company reported. It mainly included production from the
high-value mining block 8, where Lucapa recently resumed alluvial mining following
the end of the wet season, which had forced the company to focus on the
lower-grade block 28.
Total proceeds from the Lulo mine for the year to date
amount to $24.3 million at an average price of $1,640 per carat, Lucapa added.
