(IDEX Online News) – DiamondCorp plc has announced that underground mining at its Lace resource has resumed, following a South African Department of Minerals Resources (DMR) investigation.

 

The company released a statement on July 18, saying that mining was suspended following an incident when explosive misfires were being made safe and resulted in a miner’s assistant suffering contusions and cracked ribs.

 

The DMR gave permission for an immediate resumption of underground mining at the Lace diamond mine, which have now commenced.
