Lucara Diamond Corp. ("Lucara" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the recovery of a 123 carat gem quality top white Type II diamond (image attached) from its 100% owned Karowe Diamond Mine located in Botswana.  The 123 carat diamond was recovered from direct milling ore sourced from the EM/PK(S) unit of the South Lobe.  The EM/PK(S) has also delivered several other high value diamonds including  the 1,109 carat Lesedi La Rona, the 813 carat Constellation and the recently recovered 1,758 carat Sewelô, and is an important economic driver for the underground feasibility study which is currently underway and scheduled for completion in Q4 later this year.   

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2019 - Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Mountain Province", or the "Company") (TSX and NASDAQ: MPVD) today announces its financial and operating results for the second quarter ("Q2 2019") and first half 2019 ("H1 2019") ended June 30, 2019.  All figures are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

Operational Highlights for Second Quarter 2019 ("Q2 2019")

 

10,865,263 total tonnes mined in Q2 2019, 6% increase on comparable period (Q2 2018: 10,285,000). 

 

882,374 tonnes of ore treated in Q2 2019, 2% decrease from comparable quarter (Q2 2018: 899,000 tonnes). 

 

1,730,147 carats recovered at an average grade of 1.96 carats per tonne, 10% lower than comparable quarter (Q2 2018: 1,930,500 carats at 2.15 carats per tonne).  The grade variance year over year is mainly a function of mining lower grade ore tonnes in Q2 2019 from Hearne and SWC Kimberlites in comparison to higher grades from the 5034 Kimberlite in Q2 2018.  In addition, the ongoing plant modifications have, as expected, resulted in the removal of the very small, lowest value diamonds from the recovery process further contributing to fewer carats recovered.
