Tongo Licence area - Alluvial Diamonds

At Tongo site 1, with the bulk sampling operations carried out to 13 June 2017, the Company recovered 14 more diamonds weighing a total of 10.46 carats. The stones ranged from 0.25 to 2.15 carats per stone. In addition, some 23.62 grams of alluvial gold were also recovered from the gravels treated. The Company will provide further updates as the gravel extraction and washing operations progresses

Baja Licence area

At Baja site 4, operations were focused on relocating the stockpile of gravels to a higher and more secure location. This will reduce the risk of loss associated with the rising water table resulting from the impending wet season. Bulk sampling operations have resumed and are operating concurrently with the gravel relocation exercise.
