Mountain Province Diamonds (TSX, NASDAQ: MPVD) said Wednesday it had found a 95-carat gem diamond at its Gahcho Ku\u00e9 mine<\/a> located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.<\/p>\n

The white octahedron of “top clarity” is the largest gem quality diamond and fourth largest stone ever recovered from the mine, the company said.<\/p>\n

Gahcho Ku\u00e9, Canada’s newest diamond mine and the world’s largest in the last 14 years, is a joint venture between De Beers and Mountain Province Diamonds (TSX:MPVD). It officially opened in September 2016<\/a>, achieving commercial production last year.<\/p>\n

The diamond was included in the fancies and specials parcel acquired by Mountain Province in the most recent Gahcho Ku\u00e9 production split.<\/p>\n

It will be shown at the miner’s upcoming rough diamond tender with viewings to be held from June 11 through 22 in Antwerp, Belgium.<\/p>\n
