BlueRock Diamond PLCs’ (LON:BRD) finance director, David Facey, says the junior was operating profitably at the year-end even after losing a month installing a new crusher at the Kareevlei mine.

Prices of diamonds have not been hit as hard as expected by the coronavirus disruption, he added, while operation restarted on May 11.
