London AIM listed (AIM: STEL) diamond mining and exploration company Stellar Diamond this Monday released its “initial” Kono bulk sampling diamond grade results from the Lion-5 kimberlite dyke.
Stellar said Lion-5 kimberlite “has been mapped over a distance of 1,990m to date” and is expected to extend beyond this distance. The kimberlite was excavated over a 60m length, adjacent to the Koidu Holdings mining lease, with observed widths ranging from 84cm to 198cm, and average width calculated at 148cm.
Extracted Kimberlite was transported to the Company’s active sampling plant at Tongo, crushed and processed via a 5 tonne per hour Dense Media Separation plant with diamond recovery being by grease tables in a secure container.
