The company said the rough diamonds were recovered through the existing bulk sampling plant and infrastructure at Mothae, which has been refurbished ahead of schedule as part of a previously announced bulk sampling program.
According to the statement the largest rough diamond recovered in the test run is 6.6 carats.
