Gemfields reports a net loss of $93 Million due to Restricted Auctions 3 Gemstones Covid-19 Mining in Zambia 

Gemfields reports a net loss of $93 Million due to Restricted Auctions

Janet
Aim- and JSE-listed Gemfields says its full-year results reflect the magnitude of the impact that Covid-19 has had on the company, rendering it unable to hold auctions in its traditional format since February 2020. The group had to implement a range of cash saving measures, including suspending operations at the emerald and ruby mines operated by Kagem Mining, in Zambia, and Montepuez Ruby Mining, in Mozambique, respectively. “We believe the difficult decisions taken during 2020 best position Gemfields for an optimal recovery in 2021,” says CEO Sean Gilbertson.

Namibia’s marine diamond miner’s production hit by covi-19, drops 13% in 2020

Janet
Debmarine Namibia, a subsidiary of Anglo American’s diamond unit De Beers, on Monday reported a 13% drop in production to 1.125 million carats last year as demand slumped during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Production, however, has been severely hampered by weak demand on the international market. Debmarine’s revenue fell 5% to 6.6 billion Namibian dollars ($427 million), the company said. Royalties and tax to the government also slipped 6%,… Read More Here
