Surging diamond demand helps Botswana trader post record sales

Botswana’s State-run diamond trader reported record revenue last year with sales surging almost five fold after imports from the US recovered from a Covid-19 induced slowdown. Okavango Diamond Company sold $963-million of rough diamonds last year, said Dennis Tlaang, a company spokesman. The revenue was the most since the company began operations in 2012, he said. “The demand for natural rough diamonds remained strong throughout 2021 driven primarily by positive market sentiment in key markets such as the United States,” Tlaang said. Sales may rise further this year after De Beers,… Read More Here

Electric vehicle battery demand surge supercharges nickel

Nickel rose to its highest level in more than a decade on Monday morning. London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month nickel has broken through January’s high of $24,435 per tonne to reach $24,610, a level last traded in 2011. Time-spreads remain in the grip of a ferocious squeeze, the cash premium closing last week valued at $465 per tonne. The huge incentive for LME delivery has drawn some metal into exchange warehouses but not enough to halt the running downtrend. The possibility of sanctions on Russia, which accounts for about 7% of… Read More Here

AngloGold’s 2021 profit falls 39% on lower output, higher cost

Harmony expects up to 72% drop in interim earnings

JSE-listed gold miner Harmony Gold expects its basic earnings for the first half of its 2022 financial year, ended December 31, 2021, to be between 68% and 72% lower than that of the six months ended December 31, 2020. This is primarily the result of several factors, including a nonrecurring gain on the bargain purchase recognised for the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Mponeng operations and related assets in the first half of the 2021 financial year. It is also owing to a lower gross profit as a result of higher production costs, which offset the increase in… Read More Here
