The Cullinan diamond mine is renowned as a source of large, high-quality gem diamonds, including Type II stones, and is the world’s most important source of very rare blue diamonds.
As at October 2019, the project had proven and probable reserves of 45-million tonnes at 39.2 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht) for 17.67-million tonnes of contained diamonds. Total resources were estimated at 403.6-million tonnes at 38.4 cpht for 154.88-million tonnes of contained diamonds.
The C-Cut Phase 1 project plans to capitalise on the mine’s resource base.

Cullinan’s C-Cut and the CC1 East, contribute more than 70% of the mine’s carats.
