RAPAPORT... Lucapa Diamond Company achieved a record $8.3 million (AUD 11
million) from a sale of rough diamonds found at its Lulo mine in Angola.
The company sold a parcel of 1,864 carats at an average
price of $4,452 per carat. The total amount was the largest to date for Lulo
diamonds, excluding a 404-carat stone that fetched $16
million in February.
The sale pushed up combined proceeds from the mine to $44.8
million this year, with the average price coming in at $3,132 per carat.
Lucapa also said Lulo’s alluvial mining company Sociedade
Mineira Do Lulo is likely to schedule an additional diamond sale by the end of
the year, meaning two sales are possible before the end of December.
