"We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492-carat diamond," Lucara President William Lamb said in the statement. "This find showcases the remarkable potential of our Karowe Mine, but also upholds our strategic investment in cutting-edge [X-Ray Transmission] technology" ... "The ability to recover such a massive, high-quality stone intact demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach to diamond recovery and our commitment to maximizing value for our shareholders and stakeholders."
Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, stated that with the advent of new technology, "we will likely see more where this came from in the future," reflecting optimism about future discoveries enabled by advancements in diamond recovery methods.
Lucara Diamond Corp's latest discovery is a 2,492-carat diamond, potentially the second-largest ever unearthed, marking a significant milestone for both the company and the mining industry.
The diamond was detected and recovered using the 'Mega Diamond Recovery X-Ray Transmission' technology, aiming to identify large stones within the rock prior to mining, reducing the risk of damage during extraction.
