Pangolin Diamonds Corp. said it has recovered its fourth and largest diamond at the Malatswae project (100% owned).
The company has previously reported the recovery of three diamonds from soil samples approximately 13km to the southeast of this new discovery. The location of this fourth diamond, relative to the previous discoveries, signifies that Pangolin has discovered a second separate area of interest within the Malatswae project.
Details of the diamond
The diamond was recognized by an independent observer in Botswana during routine kimberlite indicator mineral observation, and confirmed by MCC Geoscience as an octahedron. The diamond was subsequently submitted to C. F. Mineral Research for size determination and weighing, where it was also confirmed using a scanning electron microscope.
