RAPAPORT... Trans Hex Group’s sale of its Lower Orange River (LOR)
project has brought the South African diamond miner back to profitability.
Company profit came to ZAR 52 million ($3.6 million) for the
first fiscal half ending September 30 versus a loss of ZAR 199.2 million ($13.8
million) during the same period last year, Trans Hex said Thursday.
In April,
Trans Hex agreed to sell the loss-making project, which includes the Baken and
Bloeddrif mines, to Lower Orange River Diamonds. The South Africa
deposits had
been on care and maintenance for a large part of the company’s financial year,
which ended March 31.
Without the income from the sale of LOR, the miner would have
recorded a loss of ZAR 26.8 million ($1.9 million).
Sales at Trans Hex’s continuing operations, which include
West Coast Resources in South Africa and Somiluana in Angola, more than tripled
to ZAR 136.2 million ($9.5 million).
