IES valued the parcel at US$338.71 per carat. It said the price “is very high for a kimberlite and would rank Braúna as one of the best mines in the world”. IES suggested a bench mark price of US$330 per carat as its projection of the average sales price of future production from the south lobe. IES said “the overall mixture in colour and quality make this parcel very desirable and highly marketable.”

This is excellent for our shareholders. Investors should note the high stone value, the close proximity of these occurrences to each other and to Nordestina and the potential to add more resources in easily developed terrain.”
