Production Figures

Debswana operates some of the richest diamond mines in the world. Its flagship Jwaneng Mine is the world's leading producer of diamonds by value and Orapa Mine is the world's largest running mine by volume.

Production Figures In 2010, Debswana produced 22.2 million carats which was a great improvement from the previous year as a result of the improvement in world markets

The markets showed great improvement in 2010 after we saw production almost halved in 2009.

In 2010, Debswana production increased to about 22.2 million carats from 17.7 million in 2009. Carats sold were 23.9 million, with total sales of P18.2bn($2.68bn). The revenue improvement was a result of the increase in prices after the 2009 downturn.

For 2011, we had recovered 7.4 million carats and sold 7.3 million carats as at end of April. The revenues for the period stood at P7.3bn ($1.1bn), also influenced by favourable prices. The production target for the year is 25 million carats.
