Aim-listed diamond producer BlueRock Diamonds, which owns the Kareevlei mine, in Kimberley, in the Northern Cape, says the two-week extension of South Africa's national lockdown to April 30 will not have a significant impact on its strategy.
Executive chairperson Mike Houston says the lockdown extension did not come as a surprise and is consistent with what is happening around the world.
