BlueRock set for February processing restart at Kareevlei

Aim-listed BlueRock Diamonds expects to restart the processing of run-of-mine (RoM) material at its Kareevlei operations, in the Northern Cape, early in February, following a thorough overhaul of the main components of the processing plant. The upgrades, which will increase the capacity and efficiency of the plant, started late last year after the mine suffered a weeks-long suspension ordered by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), after an inspection on July 6 resulted in required changes to processing plant procedures, guarding rails on the plant and trackless mobile machinery.
