Rockwell suspends Wouterspan Operations

Rockwell Diamonds Inc. has suspended mining and processing at its Wouterspan mine on the Middle Orange River, South Africa “as a consequence of an industrial action.”

The South African diamond firm did not provide any specifics as to the nature of this action. Rockwell said it would assess the options “in respect of the industrial actions and appropriate remedial actions and the likely impact on production.”

Mining and processing are continuing at its three other South African diamond operations at Holpan, Klipdam, and Saxendrift, the company added in a release.
