Preparations are continuing on site to begin diamond mining of the L-Channel alluvial deposit at Ellendale under this mining approval. The company plans to commence low-rate initial production within Mining Lease M04/473 in the coming weeks.
In addition to Fancy Yellow diamonds, the L-Channel deposit has already produced a number of unusual and rare diamonds including a population of diamonds that fluoresce purple under UV light, an extremely rare Matryoshka diamond (diamond within a diamond) and several samples of diamonds with an uncommon tetra-hexahedral habit.
