Zimbabwe State diamond miner produces 500 000 ct since March launch

Zimbabwe’s new State-owned diamond miner has produced 513 000 ct since March when it started operations after the government ordered all mining companies to halt work in the Marange fields, its acting CEO said on Monday. The government on Feb 22 evicted all diamond mining firms in the Marange fields in eastern Zimbabwe saying their licences had expired and after they declined to merge under the state-owned Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC).
