London-listed Petra Diamonds aims to reopen South Africa’s Kimberley underground mine in six to 12 months and restore output to 120 000-carats per year, the firm’s chief executive, Johan Dippenaar, said on Friday. The firm would invest about R100-million per year in Kimberley, which it agreed to buy for R78,5-million from De Beers.
