Jwaneng anchors output jump at Debswana

According to figures released by parent company, Anglo American, production at Jwaneng rose by 47% as a result of planned maintenance in the third quarter of 2015 being prioritised in light of trading conditions. However, the huge output rise at Jwaneng was partly offset by a planned 22% decrease at Orapa to align aggregate production to trading conditions.

“The modestly higher production at De Beers is reflective of improved market conditions relative to the third quarter of 2015, but we maintain a cautious outlook,” Anglo chief executive officer, Mark Cutifani said.
