Angola’s Catoca Diamond Complex to Add Mill as Miners Dig Deeper

Sociedade Mineira de Catoca Lda., the operator of Angola’s largest diamond mine, plans to expand processing capacity to maintain output as the pit deepens.

Catoca will add a mill to the five already running at the site, according to an executive who asked not to be identified, citing company policy. The expansion will allow the mine to keep the same rate of production for three decades, he said, without specifying when the new facility will be built.
