Lucara Diamond Corp. announced the recovery of a 320-carat, 111-carat, and two +50-carat stones from its 100% owned Karowe Diamond Mine located in Botswana. These diamonds were recovered from the direct milling of EM/PK(S) kimberlite ore from the South Lobe during a recent production run that saw additional recoveries of numerous, smaller +10.8 carat diamonds of high value.

The 320-carat is a stunning, gem-quality, top light brown diamond while the 111-carat diamond is described as a magnificent Type IIa white stone of high quality. The two +50-carat stone add to these recent recoveries and are also Type IIa white diamonds. These recoveries add to the collection of significant diamonds recovered at Karowe and further solidifies Lucara's reputation as a leader in the recovery of large, high-quality diamonds.

The recoveries from the EM/PK(S) unit highlight the continued success of Lucara's mining operations at the Karowe Diamond Mine and re-enforce the development of the underground mine which will target >95% EM/PK(S) ore during the first three years of underground production. The Company's adoption of advanced diamond recovery technology has enabled the continued identification and retrieval of these extraordinary diamonds and strong resource performance.
