RAPAPORT... Kimberley Diamonds said production restarted at its Lerala
Diamond Mine in Botswana after nine months of upgrading and recommissioning.
First diamond sales are expected in June, the Australian
Securities Exchange-listed miner said.
Kimberley Diamonds carried out modifications that allow the
plant to reliably treat and recover diamonds at a nominal rate of 200 tonnes
per hour. Despite a delay because of a need to explore a potential alluvial
deposit, ore processing has commenced. Production will be ramped up to full
levels “over the next several weeks.”
