South African government concludes state mining audit

The continent is projected to account for almost 11% of global supply this year.

Lucara's Karowe mine in Botswana generated $41.3 million in revenue, a 7% increase from the same period last year.

The takeover grants the South African gold miner full ownership of the Windfall project in Canada, diversifying its portfolio.

The move follows protests in Congo that flared after the government of that country banned certain beverage imports from Zambia.
