Lucara Diamond Corp. has announced that it will hold its first Exceptional Stone Tender of 2016 at Gaborone from April 4 through April 13, 2016.  

The tender will feature ten diamonds with a combined weight of 1,525 carats including a magnificent 296 carat Type IIa diamond.

The Company clarified that the tender does not include any of the three previously announced exceptional diamonds recovered in November 2015.

William Lamb, President and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased to be able to offer this collection of diamonds this early in the year. The collection of diamonds being presented continues to demonstrate the quality of the production being recovered from the south lobe of the Karowe Mine.”
