Here are some interesting quotes from Lom's website:

There is no reason why one or more of the smaller magnetic targets recorded from the area could not represent a kimberlite pipe or fissure containing diamonds of extremely high value.
The work program was approved by Endiama (the State owned diamond mining company of Angola) and has been designed to allow for bulk sampling, followed by trial mining and diamond production at the Lulo Diamond Concession by the end of 2010. Lonrho Mining has set-up a base camp at the Lulo Diamond Concession.
The aim of the alluvial sampling program is to establish the diamond grade and diamond characteristics of the major tributaries feeding into the Cacuilo River. It is proposed to collect 500-1000 tonne samples at 12 localities within, and adjacent to the Lulo Kimberlite Field.
Lonrho Mining intends to commence trial mining the alluvial gravels immediately upon commissioning of the plant. This will initially include the transportation of two rotary pans, a front end loader and a ten tonne truck. A DMS plant will also be transported to the Lulo Diamond Concession as soon as possible.
