Lucapa Diamond Company Ltd. (ASX:LOM) announced that it’s set to start the next phase of exploration work at the high-priority L259 and L13/15 kimberlites at its Angola-based Lulo diamond project.
As quoted in the press release:
Exploration teams and equipment are being mobilised to Lulo from South Africa to conduct groundbased electromagnetic (EM) and gravity geophysical surveys in the next stage of a systematic kimberlite exploration program, which aims to locate the source(s) of the exceptional diamonds from the Mining Block 8 alluvial area.
The geophysical surveys will start at L259 and continue to the north-east towards the L13 kimberlite. The survey work will also cover the proximal L15 kimberlite on the southern side of the Cachuma River from L13 (Figure 1).
The EM and gravity surveys follow on from the initial pitting phase at L259 which successfully confirmed the presence of kimberlite material next to the expanded Mining Block 8 diamond field in pits more than 1km apart (See ASX announcement 6 October 2015).
