Firestone Diamonds faces disruptions at Liqhobong ops due to power fluctuations

Firestone Diamonds PLC reported severe disruptions in operations at its majority-owned Liqhobong mine in Lesotho, as a result of power supply fluctuations.

The company said Oct. 4 that it is temporarily using power from South African state utility Eskom due to a two-month maintenance shutdown effective Oct. 1 by its regular electricity supplier.

In April, Firestone Diamonds recovered a 72-carat yellow, makable diamond from Liqhobong.
