Namibia’s rough diamond production remained broadly unchanged at 531 000 carats during the second quarter ended 30 June 2026, as higher-grade mining at Namdeb offset operational disruptions at Debmarine Namibia, Anglo American said in its latest production report.
The country’s production was 556 000 carats in the first quarter of this year. In the last quarter of 2025 production stood 459 000 carats.
The mining group said production in Namibia was supported by the planned mining of higher-grade areas at Namdeb, which largely compensated for the retirement of the Coral Sea vessel in the comparative period and planned maintenance work on Debmarine Namibia’s Mafuta vessel.
