DiamondCorp, the Southern African diamond development and exploration company, is pleased to announce that its 74%-owned subsidiary Lace Diamond Mines (Pty) Limited has signed a four year wage agreement with the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and covering all employees at the Lace diamond mine in the Free State province of South Africa.
Β
The agreement is based around 8% annual increases in basic salary for most categories, along with a progressive lift in the lowest categories to R12,500 per month basic salary over the four year period.
Β
DiamondCorp CEO Mr Paul Loudon said: "This long wage agreement will provide industrial relations stability at the Lace mine during the critical mine start up years and demonstrates a solid maturing of relationships between the union and management. We are particularly pleased to have negotiated a four year agreement rather than the more common two or three year agreement".
