Shefa Yamim (LON:SEFA) has announced that it has updated its target mineral assemblage of gemstones to better reflect the make-up of its Kishon Mid Reach Deposit. Previously the gemstone focus was on Diamond, Moissanite, Corundum and Hibonite (DMCH) although now spinel is being added along with garnet and ilmenite to this target group which will be renamed the “Gem Box”. This has been retroactively applied to Zone 1 and will be applied to the bulk sampling for Zone 2. The overall grade from Zone 1 bulk sampling has therefore increased from 45cpht to 154cpht.

In Zone 1 a total of 2,177ct of garnets were recovered and subsequent polishing and cutting has demonstrated gemstone quality of the garnets having previously been conservatively classified as industrial quality. The overall garnet grade for Zone 1 was 34.09cpht.

Spinel is now considered the most abundant mineral within the Gem Box suite with a total Zone 1 recovery of 3,953ct (69.91cpht). The largest of which was 6.2ct and SEFA have indicated that much of the recovered spinel is of gem quality. Spinel data and stones have been stored through the bulk sampling process since it is a kimberlitic indicator mineral although given its potential as a gemstone is now being included in the gem box suite.

We reiterate our Speculative Buy recommendation.
