VANCOUVER, Sept. 26, 2011 /CNW/ - Rockwell Diamonds Inc ("Rockwell" or the "Company") (TSX: RDI; JSE: RDI; OTCBB: RDIAF) announces the results of second quarter sales of its diamond production from South African operations.

Total proceeds of $7.0 million were generated from the sale of 3,223 carats. The average price per carat for the quarter was USD $2,187, demonstrating the high quality of stones sold.

Operation Carats US $ Revenue US $/ct
Holpan 27 $4,755 $176
Klipdam 1,456 $1,500,506 $1,030
Saxendrift 1,740 $5,542,268 $3,186
Total 3,223 $7,047,529 $2,187

Recovery and beneficiation of notable stones:

Production across the Company's operations, which was disappointing in June and July 2011, recovered strongly in August 2011. In particular, 373 carats were recovered at Rockwell's Saxendrift mine on August 2, 2011 which was a daily record at the mine. Large stones produced by each of the operations during the second quarter are as follows:

  • Klipdam produced 14 stones exceeding 10 carats; and
  • Saxendrift produced 32 stones weighing more than 10 carats, of which 11 stones exceeded 20 carats

These stones have been passed into the Company's beneficiation joint venture with the Steinmetz Diamond Group which delivers value added revenues for Rockwell's stones that exceed 2.8 carats.

During the quarter the high quality stones sold through the beneficiation joint venture with Steinmetz Diamond Group, included the following:

  • a 128.67 carat perfect sawable; fancy yellow with high clarity stone;
  • a  21.52 carat gem quality; clean D/E color stone;
  • a 33.51 carat octahedral, clean, H/I colored stone; and
  • a 179.95 carat makeable, clean brown colored stone.

Further details pertaining to the beneficiation revenues will be disclosed with the second quarter earnings announcement which will be made on or about October 17, 2011.

Rough Diamond Market:

Although prices remain strong overall, the diamond market has been impacted by uncertainty in the financial markets in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. During June and July 2011, prices for both rough and polished diamonds increased, as higher pricing in the downstream industry was led by speculative activity. Producers followed suite, with rough prices achieving all time record levels at the end of July 2011, leading into the summer vacation period. Polished prices continued to rise, but the pace remains slower than for rough diamonds, resulting in the continued disconnect between the cost of rough diamonds and polished prices.

As global financial markets corrected in August 2011, diamond traders were left holding expensive inventory in uncertain markets. By the end of August, prices had corrected but are expected to stabilize following the Hong Kong diamond show and the next De Beers sight later this month.

Commenting on the latest diamond sales, James Campbell, CEO, Rockwell said:

"We are pleased that the high quality of our current production has supported higher selling prices. While the underlying diamond market has increased by some 25% per carat for diamonds such as those typically produced by Rockwell in the past twelve months, our average price for the quarter has more than doubled. This is a clear demonstration that the diamonds which we have presented for sale are of a superior quality and in high demand."

"At the end of August, Rockwell focused its sales on larger diamonds through our beneficiation JV which benefits from Steinmetz's ability to manufacture to achieve value of polished product. We had been anticipating the short term price consolidation that has occurred in August 2011. Our products were not sold at a discount to drive sales."

"We produced 46 stones exceeding 10 carats from our two operational mines, which included 11 rough stones weighing more than 20 carats. This is an indication that our diamond value management focus, which prioritizes the production of quality tons, is starting to pay off."

About Rockwell Diamonds:

Rockwell is engaged in the business of operating and developing alluvial diamond deposits, with a goal to become a mid-tier diamond mining company.  The Company has three existing operations, which it is progressively optimizing, two development projects and a pipeline of earlier stage properties with future development potential. Rockwell is also at an advanced stage of completing the acquisition of the Tirisano property.

Rockwell also evaluates merger and acquisition opportunities which have the potential to expand its mineral resources and production profile and would provide accretive value to the Company.
