During the first none months of 2016, ALROSA’s diamond production dropped 6 percent on y-o-y basis to 27.9 million carats. The drop was attributed to decrease in gravels processing from Nyurba Division’s alluvial placers due to adjustment of 2016 production plan, decrease in ore production at Aikhal underground mine and the termination of open-pit mining at Udachnaya pipe. Revenue from rough diamond sales amounted to at least USD 3.5 billion in 9M 2016.
