Update to Kareevlei Cluster Inferred Mineral Resource
BlueRock Diamonds PLC, the AIM listed diamond producer, which owns and operates the Kareevlei Diamond Mine ('Kareevlei') in the Kimberley region of South Africa, announces that an updated report on the diamond mineral resource for the Kareevlei kimberlite cluster has been prepared by Z Star Mineral Resource Consultants (Pty) Ltd ('Z Star'). The full report will shortly be made available on the Company's website http://www.bluerockdiamonds.co.uk/.
At the request of the Board, Z Star has updated its 2013 Inferred level of confidence diamond mineral resource for the Kareevlei kimberlite cluster (KV1, KV2 and KV3 pipes). Since the publication of the 2013 report, BlueRock has commenced mining the KV2 pipe and KV1 pipe and conducted geological delineation drilling and bulk sampling on KV5 pipe. The additional information acquired from the mining and exploration programmes has resulted in an Inferred mineral resource update as at November 2018.
The primary changes to the mineral resource are:
· The addition of a portion of the KV5 pipe to the mineral resource;
· Amendments to the KV2 and KV3 geological models; and
· The depletion of the mined portion of the KV2 resource.
The net effect of these changes to the Kareevlei kimberlite cluster mineral resource (at a strict 1mm bottom cut-off) is a
· 3.0% reduction in tonnes taking into account tonnes already mined;
· 2.2% increase in carats; and
· 5.4% increase in grade.
The updated mineral resource, prepared in accordance with the SAMREC code at a strict 1mm bottom cut-off is summarised in the table below.

Should add further value to this hopefully
Letting me sell a large amount on dummy sell
I have 4.5 million of these. I hope my patience pays off.
I agree I think the placing will take it down in the short time but with the increased productivity profitability will be its a hold with a chance to top up at these low levels.
