The Company published its first quarter 2021 results on May 6, 2021 (link to press release), marking a strong quarter for operational and financial performance.  In addition, the Company announced credit approved commitments for senior debt facilities of up to US$220 Million for the proposed Underground Expansion Project at the Karowe Mine, which would lengthen Karowe's mine life from 2025 to at least 2040.  Earlier this year, Lucara extended its novel supply agreement with HB Antwerp by 24-months, in respect of all diamonds produced in excess of 10.8 carats in size, from the Karowe mine, to be sold as polished. The Karowe mine remains one of the world's highest margin diamond mines yielding 4 of the 10 largest diamonds in recorded history, including the 1,758 carat Sewelô, the largest diamond recovered from Botswana, and the 1,109 Lesedi La Rona which sold for US$53 million.
