Gem Diamonds (GEMD) - Strong Q4 production and revenue numbers

The Q4 update from the Lesotho diamond miner is very positive, particularly as it predates the various large gemstone found recently.

Full year revenues from their Letšeng mine reached US$184.6m, up 12% over 2016, with an average price of $1,695 per carat ($/ct). Pricing progress has continued in Q4 where prices reached $2,217/ct, from $1,858/ct in Q3. Sales were strong in Q4, as not only did the average price go up, but so did the caratage (nearly 31,500 carats as compared to just over 25,900 carats in Q3).
