RAPAPORT... Stornoway Diamond Corporation has produced 1 million carats
at its Renard mine since the deposit opened in Canada in October, the company
said Tuesday.
“Today’s news represents another important milestone in our
production ramp-up at Renard,” said Matt Manson, Stornoway’s CEO. “The 1
million-carat threshold comes, coincidentally, at the same time that the first
polished diamonds from the mine have become available for sale in Montreal.”
The asset, Quebec’s first diamond mine, will yield 1.8
million carats of rough per year over the first decade of mining, according to
Stornoway’s forecasts. The first polished goods originating from the project
went on display last week at the Montreal flagship store of retailer Birks
Group, which plans to sell them as Canadian-branded diamonds.
