  • 3,534 diamonds weighing 210.68 carats recovered;

"We are pleased by the recovery of the three larger 10.13, 8.10 and 7.29 Type IIa diamonds from Rio Tinto Canada's ninth trench. The recent recovery of larger Type IIa diamonds from Rio Tinto Canada's bulk sample program continues to strengthen our expectation for recovery of large, high-value diamonds in a future producing diamond mine," said Ken MacNeill, president and chief executive officer of Star Diamond. "There were also 5.15- and 3.44-carat diamonds recovered from the ninth trench, with the 3.44-carat diamond being a H (near colourless) octahedron."
