Once an alluvial diamond project has been selected, the mineral resource/reserve present on the property has to be determined before it's economic potential can be estimated. Prospecting does not convert a small, low grade deposit into a commercial mine, it simply determines what the resource is and where it lies on the property.

DIAMOND EXPLORATION. Diamond discoveries can take various forms, mainly kimberlites, but also lamproites and alluvial/paleo-placer deposits. Kimberlite is a type of potassic volcanic rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds.It is named after the town of Kimberley in South Africa, where the discovery of an 83.5-carat (16.7 g) diamond in 1871 spawned a diamond …

The kimberlite exploration is performed through a joint venture (JV) known as Projecto Lulo, which holds the exploration licence. The alluvial mining operation is held by the Sociedade Mineira Do Lulo (SML). Lucapa holds a 39% interest in Project Lulo and a 40% in SML and operates both the alluvial mining and kimberlite exploration.

Alluvial gold mining was mostly dominated by expatriates in those early gold rushes. That trend changed when indigenous people decided to go into mining for the first time in 1949, along the Wanion River. The transfer of skills and knowledge of alluvial gold mining took place in the 1950s and 1960s when many residents, especially around the
