Production registered up to 1068140 carats Petra Diamonds Limited announces unaudited result for the period for Q1 FY 2019. According to the highlights, Q1 production registered up 21% to 1,068,140 carats (Q1 FY 2018: 883,803 carats), mainly driven by a 25% increase in ROM production across the operations to 1,022,571 carats (Q1 FY 2018: 815,571 carats), offset by planned reductions in tailings recoveries at Finsch. Q1 revenue up 22% to US$80.2 million from 626,541 carats sold (Q1 FY 2018: US$65.8 million from 586,571 carats sold).

During Q1, the South African Rand has continued to weaken against the US Dollar from ZAR13.73: US$1 at 30 Jun
