Dear Sir,
GLOUCESTER RUBY PROJECT – 21,973 CARATS OF UNCUT RUBY
FROM SECTIONS 6/7, 10 and 11/12
Processing of 265 tonnes of ruby bearing clayey gravels from Section 6/7, Strip 2 (65 to 30 metres
from the river end of the pit) yielded a total of 6.901 carats of uncut ruby: 4,432 carats of facet quality
and 2,469 carats of cabachon quality. This represents a grade of 12.36 carats per tonne saleable to CPH
Limited. Wash thickness ranged from 0.5 to 1.1 metres, and overburden thickness ranged from 1.7 to
2.35 metres.
395 tonnes of gravels were processed from Section 10, yielding a total of 3,858 carats of uncut ruby:
2,686 carats of facet quality and 1,172 carats of cabachon quality. The resultant grade was 9.77 carats
per tonne. Wash thickness ranged from 1.3 to 2.3 metres and overburden thickness averaged 1.4
metres.
Concentrate production from Sections 11 and 12 was combined during processing, and the 848 tonnes
of gravels yielded 18,046 carats of uncut ruby. This consisted of 11,541 carats of facet quality ruby and
6,505 carats of cabachon quality. The gravel thickness for Section 11 was 0.7 metres, while in Section
12 the thickness ranged between 0,8 and 2.1 metres. Overburden thickness ranged from 0 to 1.0 metres.
Mining continues at the ruby project, with ruby-bearing gravels from Strip 4 now being excavated and
processed. To date, over 5,500 tonnes of gravels have been processed, and recorded production of ruby
rough is over 77,700 carats. The pit sections diagram below shows the extent of these workings.
Payment of $14,038 has been received from CPH Limited with respect to production from the third
week of operations at the ruby project, and a third shipment containing 30,722 carats of uncut ruby has
been dispatched to CPH Limited for downstream processing and marketing.
