Gem to ramp production at Ghaghoo

Gem Diamonds plans to ramp up production at its Ghaghoo mine in the CKGR, after output was hampered by difficult ground conditions in the first six months of the year.

Ghaghoo output was below target in the first six months of the year, with the company treating 132,125 tonnes, to produce 35,285 carats.

“Focus will be on converting the Ghaghoo mine from its commissioning phase into sustaining operational activities and achieving steady state production. We plan to ramp up production to a steady state rate of 60 000 tonnes per month. “The main risks to achieving full production in the second half of the year are considered to be availability of ore from underground, due to difficult ground conditions, and traversing the main water fissure that was previously encountered,” read a statement from the company accompanying their first half financials.
