Lucara Diamond Corp, the Botswana Stock Exchange listed company said  its Karowe mine has produced another selection of  ‘exceptional’ stones including an exquisite small pink diamond–the first to be recovered from Karowe.

The company said it will now hold its second Exceptional Stone Tender which will close on September 2, 2013. The tender will feature 16 single diamond lots from the Karowe Mine in Botswana, including five diamonds larger than 100 carats.

Viewings commenced in Gaborone, Botswana and will move to Antwerp, Belgium from August 26 until September 2, 2013. A catalogue is available for download from the Company’s website: www.lucaradiamond.com.

William Lamb, President and CEO said the Karowe kimberlite is truly developing into an incredible asset. “The ongoing recovery of large stones has enabled us to have a second Exceptional Stone Tender, well ahead of our internal timing estimate,” Lamb said.

Lucara is a well positioned new diamond producer. The company has an experienced board and management team with extensive diamond development and operations expertise. The Company’s two key assets are the Karowe Mine in Botswana and the Mothae Project in Lesotho. The 100% owned Karowe Mine is in production.
