ANTWERP SUCCESS - FANCY YELLOW DIAMONDS
ANTWERP EVALUATION CONFIRMS FANCY YELLOW DIAMONDS
ANTWERP FEB 2020. An independent evaluation of diamonds mined by IBDH from the Ellendale L Channel has been completed by world leading Diamantaires in Antwerp.
As a part of the extensive evaluation program the rough diamonds have also been cut and polished by Master cutters producing a range of exquisite Fancy Yellow diamonds including Intense, Fancy, and Light Fancy Yellow diamonds as well a a range of gem quality colourless diamonds (see picture above).
A high percentage of gem quality stones including Fancy Coloured diamonds typical of the Ellendale field have been recovered by IBDH from the successful L Channel bulk sampling programs in 2018 and 2019. Based on the company's detailed knowledge of the L Channel deposit, the 2020 work program will commence in May on targeted upstream sections of the L Channel. Large scale trenches will be excavated nearer to the diamond sources where higher grades and larger diamonds are anticipated.
