ARM added that unit production costs “remained under pressure” due to lower production volumes and above-inflation increases in the costs of explosives, diesel, electricity, consumables, and maintenance costs.African Rainbow Minerals is a leading South African diversified mining and minerals company with operations in South Africa and Malaysia.
