"We lost the main shovel early in the year and soon after, we lost an access road that was a critical part of the mine plan. The collapse of the road necessitated more than having to build another access road, the entire mine plan had to be changed", he said.

The Debswana boss attributed the achievement to teamwork and planning with the company.
