BlueRock halts output at Kareevlei diamond mine to fix crushing unit

BlueRock Diamonds PLC said June 11 that it halted production at its Kareevlei diamond mine in South Africa after identifying a fault within the crushing circuit.

Work began to rectify the issue, which will allow for improved capacity as the company enters its next development phase for the project. Production is expected to restart within the next 10 days.

BlueRock has been evaluating the crushing circuit and implementing changes to optimize mining performance as it looks to build production and commence open pit mining at its second kimberlite pipe, KV01.
