"Securing a majority stake of the Lulo exploration JV is a pivotal outcome for Lucapa because it will deliver us an increased ...

It was first discovered in 1967 and started producing carat diamonds in 1971. Roughly 90 million years go, steam and gas caused a double eruption of diamondiferous kimberlites. These are vertical, ...

Thrips are tiny insects – their sizes range between 0.5mm and 15mm in length and many are shorter than 5mm. But the damage they cause to crops is anything but small. A 2021 research paper found that ...

It wants to emulate Arctic Canadian Diamond, the owner and operator of Canada’s oldest operating diamond mine, Ekati, which used DML programs to find new kimberlites in the country’s most-explored gem ...

Drilling proved the kimberlite to be diamondiferous, but for two years the company failed to extract a bulk sample. By 2007, Snowfield had constructed a decline ramp through the granite and diabase ...

Indicator mineral chemistry has evolved considerably since the garnet classifications for diamondiferous kimberlite exploration and is now applied to a variety of mineral deposit types.

which could be associated with the presence of diamondiferous kimberlites. It said the results proved the presence of chromite in all samples, with nine samples being interpreted as either ...

It said the data demonstrated that the kimberlite had sampled eclogite and peridotite rocks that were known to be diamondiferous in other kimberlites from the area. The GTK report also said that ...
