Burgundy Diamond Mines Limited announced that the first parcel of rough Fancy Colour diamonds purchased in September has now been received at the Company's cutting and polishing facilities in Perth, Western Australia, and planning for the polishing of these stones is underway. Burgundy announced the purchase of a small number of large rough diamonds from Arctic Canadian Diamond Company Ltd. ("Arctic"), owners of the Ekati Diamond Mine in Northwest Territories, Canada. These diamonds were shipped to Perth and planning is now underway to maximise the value to be extracted from these stones. The diamonds are Fancy Vivid and Fancy Intense Yellow stones, with the one weighing 17.8 carats, and form a perfect entry point for Burgundy's unfolding strategy of production of high-value polished Fancy Colour diamonds, and a progression towards the Company's own production of Fancy Yellow goods from the Ellendale Diamond Project in Western Australia.
