Diamonds are prized for their brilliance and durability, making them a symbol of luxury and status. In mining, diamonds are typically extracted from kimberlite pipes or alluvial deposits. Beyond jewellery, industrial diamonds are used in cutting, grinding, and drilling applications. Some of the world's biggest diamonds that have been recovered are a direct result of the latest developments and new technologies applied in mining.

Our clients and partners say
Lucara's Karowe mine stands alone in the global context of large diamond recovery as the only location to recover 4 diamonds larger than 1,000 carats. As an early adaptor of sensor-based primary diamond recovery from sized run of mine material, the Stark Team over the years has been instrumental in the design, process flow, construction and commissioning of the XRT circuits. The results are a testament to incredible team work, excellent process flow, and an innovative circuit combined with a truly unique diamond deposit.

Vice President Technical Services
We acquired an updated stand-alone XRT plant and within a very short space of time recovered the 91O ct D-colour Lesotho Legend diamond at Letšeng. This must surely rank as one of the best ROIs that has ever been seen!
Clifford Elphick
Chief Executive Officer
During COVID lockdown the team replaced 5 COMS XRT sorters, washing screens along with XRT building expansion. This was planned remotely with the Karowe Process and Engineering teams, and executed on the ground. At the height of the global pandemic this work was completed safely, on time and on budget, under challenging circumstances - a testament to their ability to plan and execute.
