Aclara Resources raises $25m for Carina project in Brazil
Chilean conglomerate CAP, which has invested $80 million in the company's Penco project, will become a new shareholder.
Canada’s Lucara Diamond (TSX:LUC) announced today the recovery of another big diamond from its 100% owned Karowe Mine located in Botswana.
The rock weighed 327 carats and it is a top white gem diamond.
According to the miner, eight diamonds greater than 100 carats have now been recovered at Karowe since the beginning of the year. This includes the 472-carat diamond found earlier this month, which was the third largest diamond ever collected at the site.
The record for Lucara, however, remains with the “Lesedi La Rona,” a 1,109-carat stone considered the world’s second-largest diamond ever found. It was unearthed back in 2015.
The Vancouver-based junior also announced that it will hold its first exceptional stone tender in June 2018. Included for sale will be the 327 and the 472-carat diamonds, alongside other qualifying gems.

Please stop calling diamonds “rocks”. If you knew anything about diamonds and diamond mining, you would call it a stone.

Sloppy writing, but try correcting the glitterati!

If you anything about diamonds and women you would call it a “Rock”.
The real world and geology jargon don’t always agree.

Silly me, and I thought MINING.com was the “leading digital publication covering the global mining sector”. I must have mistaken it for People or Glamour.

Lets make a deal. Lets call it “rough” 🙂

I have discovered a very large diamond, as well. It weighs over 1,000 carats, but I cannot get anyone to believe me…. If anyone is interested in knowing more, please contact me.
