What the source reported
Source-reportedDiamond miner De Beers has reported an 11% year-on-year decrease in rough diamond production to 6.8-million carats for the quarter ended September 30, primarily driven by planned plant maintenance at Orapa, in Botswana, and a slowdown at Venetia, in South Africa, ahead of a planned two-year production pause. De Beers notes that production in Botswana decreased to 4.8-million carats, as a result of the planned plant maintenance at Orapa.
