Abstract

The mine in question is De Beers' Venetia operation in Limpopo, which was formerly open pit but has been transformed into an underground facility. Construction of the underground section - at a cost of $2.2bn, the biggest investment in South Africa's diamond sector in decades - began in 2012. An extremely rare, almost seismic, event just occurred in the SA mining industry - the first production has been delivered from a new mine built by an old company. [Extracted from the article]
