The company has sold majority of rough diamonds which have been recovered along with ongoing testing and commissioning exercises on material in the -1.0mm to -12.0mm size fractions, and the initial material processing in the +12.0mm to -26.0mm size fractions.

Due to inclusion of larger rough diamonds in this tender, significant increase attributable to the higher average dollar per carat was not achieved, according to the company.

The company is installing final crushing circuit installation at the main plant to further enhance the effective larger size material processing.

Following completing of the circuit installation in the coming weeks, the company will commence initial testing and processing of all material up to 45.0mm in size.
