Lace mine back on track after two-week suspension

Commercial mining at the Lace diamond mine has achieved the planned rate of 30 000 t/m from the first block on the 310 m level of the upper K4 (UK4) block after a successful production restart last month, Aim- and JSE-listed DiamondCorp said on Wednesday. The Free State-based operation will deliver its first full month of commercial production and processing of kimberlite mining in August after a two-week shutdown in July caused by a fall-of-ground accident in a development tunnel.
