Rough diamond prices, in the larger and better-qualities have been exceptional and pleasingly we saw further improvement in the smaller and lower quality diamonds which we believe will continue to strengthen in 2021. We look forward to building on this positive momentum in the New Year and put what has been a difficult 2020 behind us as the world starts the road to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The recovery of the largest ever diamond and the successful bid was certainly a boost to the morale of the Company. It shows that the mine, although a high-volume producer of predominantly smaller diamonds, does produce diamonds of exceptional size and quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"prntac\">****<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Mountain Province Diamonds<b>\u00a0<\/b>is a 49% participant with De Beers Group in the Gahcho Ku\u00e9 diamond mine located in <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada&#8217;s<\/span><span class=\"xn-location\">Northwest Territories<\/span>.
