Another week, another huge diamond discovered in Botswana. But “huge” might do this stone a disservice, as it’s actually one of the five largest ever unearthed.

Canadian miner Lucara Diamond Corp has just announced the recovery of a 998-carat high white diamond at its Karowe mine in the southern African nation. The diamond is clivage, meaning it will have to be broken down before it can be processed into polished stones.

Lucara found the massive stone—which measures 2.6 inches x 1.9 inches x 1.8 inches—from direct milling of ore sourced from the south lobe of the mine, according to a press release. It’s just the latest noteworthy diamond discovery at the mine this year. Just in 2020 alone, Karowe has produced 31 diamonds greater than 100 carats, of which 10 are greater than 200 carats and two are greater than 500 carats. The other 500-plus carat stone is a 549-carat diamond named Sethynya that Lucara recently sold to Louis Vuitton.

Even before these recent discoveries, Karowe already had a reputation of producing giant stones. In 2015, the company found a 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona which sold for $53 million, and shortly after that a 813-carat Constellation stone that went for $63 million, according to Bloomberg. And last year, the Lucara found a 1,758-carat—the second biggest on the planet—which it also sold to Louis Vuitton in February of this year.

“Lucara is extremely pleased with the continued recovery of large high-quality diamonds from the South Lobe of the Karowe mine,” CEO Eira Thomas said in a statement. “To recover two 500-plus carat diamonds in 10 months along with the many other high-quality diamonds across all the size ranges is a testament to the unique aspect of the resource at Karowe and the mine’s ability to recover these large and rare diamonds.”

It remains to be seen what will happen to the diamond now. Lucara did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Robb Report, but did say in the press release that it is evaluating potential steps forward with its cutting and polishing partner, HB Antwerp.

One bidder really got into the spirit at Sotheby’s latest auction. A 14.83-carat fancy vivid type IIA purple-pink diamond, nicknamed “The Spirit of the Rose,” sold for a staggering $26.6 million and set a new auction record in the process.

The coveted rock hit the block at Sotheby’s “Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels” sale in Geneva on Wednesday and was snapped up by an anonymous buyer, who placed the winning bid over the phone. The gem, which was the largest of its kind to come to auction, failed to reach its high estimate of $38 million yet still set a record auction price for a purple-pink gem, according to Sotheby’s.

Of course, this is no ordinary ice. The sheer size and flawless internal structure of “The Spirit of the Rose” renders her quite unique. In fact, 99 percent of pink diamonds are under 10 carats. The stone was cut from the largest pink rough ever mined in Russia. “Nijinsky,” which was named after a ballet featuring dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, was unearthed by the Alrosa mine from the Ebelyakh deposit in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the northeast of the country back in 2017. It weighed an incredible 27.85 carats before it was cut.

The painstaking cutting process took a full year to complete before the diamond could even be polished. The work was carried out at Alrosa’s factory in Moscow. The finished product sold in Geneva represented Russia’s most expensive diamond, according to Alrosa.

“The Spirit of the Rose caught the imagination of everyone who had the chance to see it,” Benoit Repellin, Head of Sotheby’s Geneva ‘Magnificent Jewels’ auction, said in a press release. “It fully deserves the price achieved tonight, which is also a testament to the growing appreciation, and awareness of the great scarcity of pink diamonds around the world.”

Indeed, once the Argyle Mine, the largest supplier of high-quality pink diamonds, closes for good this year, these stones will become even more limited and even more prized. In fact, they’re already skyrocketing in value and being eyed by collectors for their ROI potential.

So far, Sotheby’s “Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels” sale has realized roughly $52.2 million and continues today with online auctions.

Gold Miner $SX.ca Wants to Use Iceland’s Renewable Energy to Drill SPONSOR: St George Eco Mining $NNX.ca $OM.ca $ICM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:05 AM on Thursday, November 12th, 2020

SPONSOR: St-Georges is developing new technologies to solve some of the most common environmental problems in the mining industry. St. George controls all of the active mineral tenures in Iceland. It also explores for nickel on the Julie Nickel Project & for industrial minerals on Quebec’s North Shore and for lithium and rare metals in Northern Quebec and in the Abitibi region

Canadian explorer St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. wants to revive Iceland’s long-dormant gold mining industry by drawing on the Nordic nation’s abundance of renewable energy.

The Montreal-based miner finished drilling a 124-meter-deep (407-foot-deep) hole in Thormodsdalur, outside Reykjavik, in September and may publish the results this month. Previous drilling cores indicated gold quantities of as much as 415 grams per ton there, though more research is needed to determine the size of the deposit, Chief Executive Officer Vilhjalmur Thor Vilhjalmsson said in an interview.

If the veins are big enough, St-Georges plans to mine with robots, while the equipment and processing primarily will use electricity made from geothermal and hydro power by Landsvirkjun, the state-owned power company. The moves come after gold hit a record in August and is up more than 20% this year.

“Our emphasis will be on making the most eco-friendly and socially responsible gold in the world,” Vilhjalmsson said. “We foresee that our gold would be sold with a premium.”

In an environment as pristine as Iceland’s, the potential for gold mines to pop up may trigger alarms among the island’s 364,000 residents, given the industry’s reputation for polluting and scarring the landscape. But Vilhjalmsson says his operation will be different.

“Our ideology is about making minimal disturbances to the ground,” he said. “In Thormodsdalur, you will hardly see it when mining activity starts.”

St-Georges will use all the material extracted from the ground during the mining process, Vilhjalmsson said. After the minerals are separated, the remainder would be used in building material and concrete.

Experimental Mining

The Canadian miner holds all exploration licenses for gold in Iceland after acquiring local corporation Melmi Ehf last month. Melmi owned the majority interest in the Thor Gold Project in Thormodsdalur, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of the capital.

Vilhjalmsson, 45, previously worked on mining projects in Greenland and Africa. He is optimistic that experimental mining in Iceland will start this decade, and he expects to spend almost 500 million Icelandic kronur ($3.6 million) on research during the next few years.

“We anticipate that by using the green energy Iceland offers, our production will be more cost-efficient than if we’d use fossil fuels,” he said. “We are in the process of doing a proof of concept for our model, and we hope it will be applicable to mining sites around the world.”

The company holds exploration permits for gold, silver and copper in three locations in Iceland and has applied for 11 more licenses. The Thormodsdalur endeavor will be funded through debt and private placement on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The explorer’s shares have declined 25% so far this year, for a market value of C$10.4 million ($8 million).

‘Green Gold’

Grant Sporre, a senior analyst for metals and mining at Bloomberg Intelligence, said he is skeptical about the market opportunity since there’s no universal standard for what qualifies as “green gold.”

“It will be a while before any investors see a return on the Icelandic gold explorations component of their business,” he said.

Gold digging in Iceland started at the beginning of the 20th century. The Thormodsdalur site was discovered in 1905, and four years later the poet and entrepreneur Einar Benediktsson formed a mining company with investors from Norway, Britain and Germany.

The property produced a gold concentrate from 1911 to 1925 that was shipped to Germany for processing, but then the market faded away.

Interested renewed in 1989 after two Icelandic geologists, including Hjalti Franzson, studied the presence of gold in geothermal systems in New Zealand and Japan. That triggered local research funded by the Icelandic government. “There is enough gold in the ground here,” said Thorvaldur Thordarson, a professor in volcanology and petrology at the University of Iceland. “In Iceland, it’s perhaps not as concentrated in one place.

Beauce Gold Fields $BGF.ca Extends Trenching East of St-Gustave Road at the Starting Point of the 1960s Gold Dredging Operation $KG.ca $OSK.ca $TIG.ca $GSR.ca $ATC.ca $WGO.ca $OR.ca $KGC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:18 AM on Friday, November 6th, 2020

Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – November 6, 2020) – Beauce Gold Fields (TSXV: BGF) (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (“BGF”), is pleased to announce that the Company has completed nine more trenches east of St-Gustave road around the site that was once the starting point of the 1960s gold dredging operation on the Company’s Beauce gold property located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Quebec.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields said, “The St-Gustave zone was the site of the largest placer gold dredging operation in eastern North America.” Mr. Levasseur further states, “We are the first exploration company to sample this historic gold anomaly.”

Active from 1958 to 1964, the Beauce Placer Company was the only major placer gold mining operation in eastern North America. To mine the deposit, the Company purchased a floating Yuba dredging plant. The four storey high, 800-ton dredge was dismantled in Idaho and transported in 25 train cars to the Beauce region. It was then assembled and floated in a dredge pit south of the Gilbert river just East of Rang St-Gustave road, around the site where BGF is currently trenching. A Lima Electric Dragline was used to strip the glacial till overburden. The Yuba dredged southward the placer gold channel from the pit to the middle of the Rang Chaussegros property.

Reference to the historical placer gold deposit does not comply with the CIM reporting standards National Instrument 43-101 for mineral resources or reserves and should not be relied upon. While the Company considers historical estimates and the calculated Gold Exploration Target* for the entire historical placer channel to be relevant to investors as it may indicate the presence of mineralization, the Company is not treating these historical estimates as a current mineral resource.

SHARES FOR DEBTS

In accordance with the agreement between BGF and Agora Internet Relations Corp., entered into on August 1, 2020 for the term ending July 31, 2021, BGF board has approved the issuance of 86,923 common shares at a deemed price of $0.13 per share to pay $11,300 for services rendered during the period ending October 31, 2020. Each share issued pursuant to the debt settlement will have a mandatory four (4) month and one (1) day holding period from the date of closing.

About Beauce Gold Fields

Beauce Gold Fields is a gold exploration company focused on placer to hard rock exploration in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. The Company’s flagship property is the St-Simon-les-Mines Gold project site of Canada’s first gold rush that pre-dates the Yukon Klondike. The Beauce region hosted some of the largest historical placer gold mines in Eastern North America that were active from 1860s to the 1960s. It produced the largest gold nuggets in Canadian mining history (50oz to 71oz).

Comprising 152 contiguous claims and seven real estate lots, the project area contains a six kilometer long placer channel consisting of an unconsolidated gold-bearing auriferous units of a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite. The Company has calculated a Gold Exploration Target for the entire historical placer channel ranges between 61,000 ounces (2,200,000 m3 @ 0.87g Au/m3) and 366,000 ounces* (2,200,000 m3 @ 5.22 g Au/m3).

The Company has identified a major Fault Line that coincides with an interpreted fault structure across the property. Evidence suggests the erosion of the Fault Line as a probable source of the historical placer gold channel.

Rare Flawless Diamond Found in Canadian Mine Fetches $20.9M at Auction SPONSOR: Arctic Star $ADD.ca $RIO $DIAM.ca $NAR.ca $MPVD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:26 AM on Thursday, October 8th, 2020

The 102.39-carat stone went to an unnamed telephone bidder for HK$122 million, or nearly $20.9 million in Canadian money.

HONG KONG, CHINA — An exceedingly rare 102-carat flawless white diamond sold for nearly $20.9 million at an online auction in Hong Kong on Monday evening.

Described as “completely flawless” by auctioneer Sotheby’s, the 102.39-carat stone went to an unnamed telephone bidder for HK$122 million in an auction held online because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The buyer of this diamond has bagged a bargain,” said Tobias Kormind, managing director of online jeweller 77 Diamonds.

During a time of economic uncertainty, he said, “savvy investors are currently falling over themselves to acquire alternative safe haven assets like diamonds, property and gold”.

Only seven other white diamonds bigger than 100 carats and of the same quality have ever gone under the hammer.

The stone was sold without a reserve price, meaning the diamond went to the highest bidder and did not need to meet a minimum threshold, the first time in auction history that a diamond of this calibre has been offered that way.

The tactic can be risky but can also generate a buzz that sellers hope will elevate the final price.

In this case, the seller’s move was “a brave decision that has come back to bite them”, according to Kormind.

Originally a 271-carat rough stone, the gem was discovered in the now-closed Victor Mine in northern Ontario in 2018.

“(The) diamond is the best of the best when it comes to exceptional white diamonds and it is difficult to overstate its rarity and beauty,” said Sotheby’s worldwide jewellery chairman Gary Schuler ahead of the sale.

In November 2017, the largest diamond ever presented at auction, with more than 163.41 carats, sold in Geneva for more than $33.8 million, fees and commissions included — a global record in this category.

But it is not a record overall for a diamond: in April 2017, the giant “Pink Star” pink diamond sold for $71.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction in Hong Kong.

CLIENT FEATURE – The 3 Reasons Why Arctic Star Is A World Class, Small Cap Diamond Explorer $ADD.ca $RIO $DIAM.ca $NAR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:53 PM on Friday, October 2nd, 2020

The 3 Reasons Why Arctic Star Is A World Class, Small Cap Diamond Explorer

Arctic Star Exploration (ADD:TSXV / ASDZF:OTCQB / 82A1.F:FRA) is in the diamond finding business.

The Company owns 100% of its flagship Timantti Diamond Project in Finland, where Arctic Star has discovered three diamondiferous kimberlites that may represent the first finds in a large kimberlite field. If you don’t know what a kimberlite is, keep drilling down and see below because this is truly exciting.

The project is located on the same geological belt as the Grib Diamond Mine in Russia, just 450 kms away. The Grib mine is one of the largest diamond mines in the world and was discovered by a team led by Arctic Star Director Roy Spencer. Keep drilling down to see more about him.

For those investors who have a little more experience and find themselves asking Why Finland? You should know that Finland was ranked as the World’s #2 mining jurisdiction in the world by the Fraser Institute 2020. In addition to its flagship project in Finland, the Company also controls diamond exploration properties in Nunavut (Stein) and the Northwest Territories of Canada (Diagras and Redemption).

But the real secret of Arctic Star is that it has tremendous potential to revolutionize the way in which Diamonds are discovered – and become a pioneer in the exploration industry – by finding diamonds in a place where no previous explorer has thought to do so. More than just a wild theory, Arctic Star has the team to back it up.

Here are the 3 things you need to know

1. World Class Diamond Finders

Arctic Star exploration has a highly experienced diamond exploration team previously responsible for numerous world class diamond mine discoveries. The team is led by Buddy Doyle who originally discovered Diavik Mine, Canada’s largest diamond mine in terms of carat production. Diavik’s exceptional grades make it one of the most valuable diamond mines in the world. Diavik is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where Arctic Star has 2 of their diamond properties.

Few geologists have seen 2 projects from discovery through to decision to mine. Mr. Doyle is recognized by his peers in the exploration industry as an authority on diamond exploration and kimberlite geology, and has authored/co-authored numerous papers on these subjects. He was awarded the 2007 Hugo Dummitt Award for excellence in Diamond exploration.

Roy Spencer – If that wasn’t enough, the geologist who discovered the multi-billion-dollar Grib Diamond Mine in Russia (see above). which is just 450 KMs away from Arctic Star’s project in Finland, has now joined Arctic’s Board of Directors! Clearly, the Arctic Star team has the credibility necessary to put forth a new thesis on how to find diamonds.

2. Brand New Exploration Model To Find Diamonds

In order to find diamonds, you need to first find Kimberlites. What are Kimberlites? Essentially, they are the rocks which contain diamonds. These kimberlite rocks are found underground in vertical structures known as kimberlite pipes. To illustrate in simple terms, see this basic image of a kimberlite pipe with kimberlite rocks inside of it.

Kimberlite pipes are the biggest source of diamonds today. When exploration companies go looking for kimberlites, the industry standard for finding them is to look for magnetic signatures. This is done by taking a magnetic survey from the air and/or ground. with a device called a magnetometer. Now, most of you won’t understand what you are looking at – but here is an example of one of the company’s magnetic surveys on its Canadian Diagras property.

The most important thing to understand is that the industry looks for magnetic signatures ….. but Buddy Doyle and the accomplished Arctic Star team have developed a NON MAGNETIC THESIS. They believe they will find economic diamonds by locating Kimberlite that do not have a magnetic signature where previous explores sought not to look. Arctic in a sense is exploring for diamonds the opposite way the industry traditionally does. Arctic acquired property big mining company’s dropped, because they looked at them one way. Arctic is looking differently and success is occurring quickly for this small, yet accomplished exploration outfit. There are already multiple drill ready targets in 2 countries using this new way of looking for diamonds.

Arctic offers multiple opportunities in 2 countries to turn the Diamond Industry on notice with a discovery.

3. Arctic Star Has Two Diamond Projects Ready To Verify Its Non-Magnetic Theory

Arctic has 2 diamond projects on which to verify its theory: Diagras in Northwest Territories of Canada and Timantti in Finland, where early exploration searching for Non-Magnetic signatures has already yielded multiple new diamond target

A. Diagras is next to Diavik (Canada’s largest diamond mine) and is drill ready to prove Buddy’s theory. Arctic has plans to drill in 2020

B. Timantti in Finland has 3 separate target areas and 6 targets altogether identified through non-magnetic signatures as a means to find diamonds and further excel Buddy’s theory, it is the company’s goal to drill test in 2020

If Buddy Doyle and the Arctic Star team are correct it will create a new discovery process for understanding how diamonds are brought to surface in areas previous explorers cared not to look. Arctic Star has the potential to create multiple discoveries and copycat companies trying to duplicate their success.

However, there is only one Buddy Doyle and Roy Spencer, which is why Arctic Star is the one Diamond Exploration Company every investor should be aware of.

Pullback in Gold Price ‘Is Unlikely To Turn Into A Rout – TD Securities SPONSOR Labrador Gold $LAB.ca $WHM.ca $SIC.ca $NXS.ca $NVO.ca $CFE.ca $NFG.ca $SII.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:38 AM on Friday, September 11th, 2020

Gold’s bull rally is being challenged by strong U.S. dollar gains but this current pullback “is unlikely to turn into a rout,” according to TD Securities.

“Justice Ginsberg’s passing and its implications for a Phase 4 deal, rising Covid cases, and the upcoming election uncertainty have created vulnerabilities for the yellow-metal longs … [But] the secular bull market is intact, as long-term inflation expectations will likely continue to rise post-election, particularly if a fiscal deal can be agreed upon in the U.S.”

Gold’s late-longs are currently being punished as gold trades “nearly tick-for-tick with the broad dollar index.” TD Securities also points to a rise in ETF gold holdings in recent days, which shows that there is still investment appetite for gold. “The elevated hurdle rate for CTA liquidations further limits the extent of the liquidation for both gold and silver.

The risk for gold bugs is therefore limited to an extension of the global risk-off which catalyzed the dollar’s breakout,” TDS says.

Small cap investors should take notice of the following small cap gold exploration companies after the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund (OP&F) approved a 5% allocation into gold in a move to diversify its portfolio and hedge against the risk of inflation. This may not sound like much, but it may be the first of many pension funds to follow as they seek to protect their pension assets. The OP&F fund currently holds about $16 billion in assets under management and believe gold will give the portfolio a strong diversifier to its growth-oriented investments as well as provide an effective hedge against inflation

More and more pensions are going to need to protect themselves against rising inflation and the falling value of currencies and 5% from every fund poses an incredible amount of purchasing power for the gold market to sustain.

Rising gold prices boost demand, as witnessed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway surprising gold investors after buying nearly 21 million shares of Barrick Gold. The first time ever in the funds history.

If the worlds largest funds are finding value in the gold market, small cap investors need to pay attention to the following Agoracom clients poised for success.
