A total of 1,259.16 carats (+0.85mm) recovered from the 2017 bulk sampling program was sent to WWW International Diamond Consultants (‘WWW’) in Antwerp for valuation. WWW has reported a collective average value of US$109 per carat for the entire parcel. In particular a population of high value white gem quality stones was noted in all three of the Faraday bodies, including a 7.78 carat sawable diamond recovered from Faraday 3 valued at US$2,967 per carat.

As quoted in the press release:

President and CEO of Kennady Diamonds, Dr. Rory Moore commented: “We are delighted with the results of the Faraday bulk sampling program. Our previously reported grades that range between 1.67 and 2.91 carats per tonne for the three Faraday kimberlites, combined with these valuations, provide a strong foundation on which to build a high-value resource at the Faradays. It is also gratifying to see strong prices for larger white gems represented in the parcel, as evidenced by the $2,967 per carat value assigned to the 7.78 carat gem recovered from Faraday 3.”
