JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – All major construction activities at Aim-listed Firestone Diamonds’ 75%-owned Liqhobong mine, in Lesotho, have been completed.
Mining activities have started and the commissioning of the processing plant is now in its final stages.
“I am delighted to announce that Liqhobong has entered the start-up phase, with all major construction activities now complete and commissioning of the plant well advanced.
“The first ore from historic stockpiles has been put through the plant and the company has begun the mining of the main pit kimberlite as it begins production activities in earnest,” CEO Stuart Brown commented on Thursday.
Firestone expects to complete the commissioning of the recovery plant and sort house in anticipation of first diamond recoveries later this month.
