Kopane Drills For Diamonds

Diamond producer Kopane Diamond Developments has drilled two holes at the Liqhobong Mine, Lesotho, as part of its wide-diameter drilling programme.

The programme in Southern Africa is expected to generate 90 kimberlite samples, representing 1,800t of kimberlite, says the company.

The programme, in conjunction with further bulk sampling and core drilling, forms a major part of a main pipe definitive feasibility study, planned for completion in Q4 2008, says the company.
