White Diamond Recovered from Orapa Drilling
African Diamonds is pleased to announce the recovery of a second diamond on
kimberlite pipe BK10 on our Orapa licence. The diamond, a white 0.14 carat
stone, was discovered in drill hole 7. A further 13 holes remain to be analysed.
John Teeling, chairman commented "Two diamonds in two days! Our faith in BK 10
is justified. Our hopes are rising, we have found something which may give us a
commercial discovery. It is early days and there is a long road to travel but
remember that few explorers discover kimberlite pipes and even fewer find
diamonds in these pipes".
