RAPAPORT... Lucapa Diamond Company has unearthed two rough diamonds
weighing more than 100 carats from its Mothae mine in Lesotho.
The 220- and 127-carat stones, which are low-quality diamonds, were
found during the treatment of recovery tailings — ore that has already been
processed once. They are the second and third stones weighing more than 100
carats recovered from Mothae since Lucapa began commercial production there in
January, the company said Monday. The miner retrieved a 126-carat, gem-quality
rough from the deposit in May.
Lucapa produced 3,096 carats from Mothae in October, a record
month, it added.
