Kennady Diamonds Inc. Reported the completion of the evaluation of diamond shipments from the Kelvin diamond project in the Northwest Territories of Canada and that the average price of stones was $ 123 per carat.
The evaluation of 989 diamonds extracted from the Kelvin gross sampling site was conducted by WWW International Diamond Consultants in Antwerp, Kennady said in a statement.
Four hotel consignments of diamonds representing Area A (442.82 carats), Area B (447.05 carats), Area C (80.44 carats), and a small mixed package of stones (16.79 carats) were evaluated. For zone A, WWW recommended an average price of $ 56 per carat, and for zone B - $ 70 per carat. The diamond lot from zone C was too small to be evaluated, so the average price for diamonds from Calvin was $ 123 per carat.
Among the most expensive diamonds from the project - a stone from Zone B weighing 4.22 carats at a cost of $ 1603 per carat; A diamond weighing 2.58 carats from Zone C at a cost of $ 1366 per carat; As well as a diamond weighing 2.38 carats, also from zone C, at a price of $ 1196 per carat.
"The prices for diamonds from Kelvin are comparable to those observed on the neighboring diamond project of Gahcho Kué, and the diamond price index of the two mines is similar," said Patrick Evans, president and CEO of Kennady. Is very reassuring because Gacho Quay is considered the most highly profitable of the new diamond mines. "
The results confirm that valuable white diamonds of jewelery quality are present in Calvin, Evans added. "
