[miningmx.com] — FIVE large diamonds of 50 carats and above have been discovered at Rockwell’s Holpan, Klipdam and Saxendrift mines.
In a statement on Tuesday, the diamond miner said this brought the total number of plus 50-carat stones discovered in its current fiscal year to eleven.
At Holpan, a 136-carat clean white, broken octahedral stone was recovered while at Klipdam, a 69.26-carat pinkish stone with a brown overtone and a blocked shape was produced.
At Saxendrift, three stones — one 58-carat, one 82-carat and one 104-carat were recovered from mining operations.
“These large stones are currently undergoing cleaning and valuation by the company experts.
“Thereafter, they are likely to be sold into Rockwell’s joint venture with Steinmetz Diamond Group and, once manufactured and sold as polished goods, will provide additional profit share revenue to the Company.”
The Holpan and Klipdam mines are located north of Kimberley, and the Saxendrift mine is on the Middle Orange River southwest of Kimberley.
