Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
A premium should be placed on the reputational risks to the diamond sector.
State miner aims to increase output by the end of the year.
And, the DMR’s new fatigue-monitoring code of practice is welcomed.

Buying diamonds is a highly discretionary procedure and their value depends entirely on people’s perception of their worth.

State-owned mining company African Exploration Mining & Finance Corporation’s Vlakfontein mine’s current run-of-mine production averages about 1.6-million tons a year, which the company aims to increase to about 2.2-million tons by the end of the current financial year.

Fatigue-management advocacy company Fatigue Sharks and technology developer Prism Services have welcomed the Department of Mineral Resources’ code of practice on risk-based fatigue management, which requires miners to compile and implement a code to monitor and take fatigue into account as part of their health and safety measures.
