Production halved at Ghaghoo Mine

“During the period, Ghaghoo treated 50,514 tonnes of ore. This reduced tonnage is in line with the strategy of downsizing and reducing the production plan for 2016 to approximately 300,000 tonnes,” said CEO, Clifford Elphick.

 At the beginning of the year, Gem Diamonds announced that it would downsize production at Ghaghoo in 2016 in line with market conditions in a development that market reports say has resulted in about 100 workers being laid off.
