Aim-listed Botswana Diamonds’ associate, Vutomi, has been granted an environmental authorisation over a substantial portion of the residual diamond-bearing gravels produced from the high-grade Marsfontein mine, which is contiguous to the Thorny River operation, in South Africa’s Limpopo province. In a statement on Thursday, Botswana Diamonds highlighted that this authorisation was a critical step towards obtaining a mining permit, which it expected to receive shortly.
