Aim-listed Firestone Diamonds on Monday reported that it had treated 1.9-million tonnes of ore in the six months to December 31, in line with the company’s full-year guidance of between 3.6-million tonnes and 3.9-million tonnes treated. In a quarterly operations update for its Liqhobong diamond mine, in Lesotho, Firestone noted that 884 252 t of ore were treated in the quarter, lower than the first quarter’s figure of just over one-million tonnes of treated ore, owing to unscheduled repair work being undertaken on one of the scrubbers in November.
