RAPAPORT... Mountain Province Diamonds reported the Gahcho Kué diamond
mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories is on track for first production in the
second half of 2016, with the project now more than 87 percent complete.
Mountain Province is a 49-percent participant in the mine
together with De Beers Canada. Development is progressing according to plan,
Mountain Province said in a statement March 14.
“Key
areas of focus are remaining earthworks, commissioning of the primary crusher
and diamond plant, pre-stripping and stockpiling of kimberlite as well as
preparations for operational readiness,” Patrick Evans, Mountain Province’s
president and chief executive officer, said in the statement.
The miner also said the Gahcho Kué joint venture has
appointed Allan Rodel as mine general manager. Rodel joined De Beers in 1997
and had been Gahcho Kué project manager since 2013.
