Lucapa has systematically gone through a drilling campaign, drilling over 120 anomalies, of which over 100 have converted into discovered kimberlites.



“We have sent some 80 of those away for mineral chemistry analysis and we have prioritized to date 20 of those for bulk sampling,” Wetherall said, adding that the company would continue with assessing further anomalies in a bulk sampling campaign.

To assist with its bulk sampling work, Lucapa is commissioning a standalone kimberlike bulk sampling plant, rather than using its eluvial plant to process these samples.

I’m pleased to say that construction is nearing completion. We should be entering into the commissioning phase very shortly, and we will be putting through a significant number - we believe two every six weeks will be going through the bulk sample plant,” Wetherall told delegates on Friday.
