Precious gem producer Gemfields reported an attack close to its ruby mine in Mozambique’s northern Cabo Delgado province on Wednesday (May 21).
The company said the attack was closer to the mine than previous incidents, adding that operations had not been halted but continued with increased vigilance. Armed attacks have impacted other mining firms in the region recently. In June, Australia-listed Triton Minerals reported an attack on its Ancuabe graphite project site, while Syrah Resources briefly suspended logistics and personnel movement after attacks close to its primary transport route.
