The 4,000-tonne-per-day mine is scheduled to produce 19,200 carats per year. The name given to the mine, Tirisano, is derived from the Setswana language and means "working together." Over 350 people were in attendance. The opening was officiated by Gerald McConnell, president and chief executive officer of Etruscan Resources, together with Allen Sheito, president and CEO of Mountain Lake Resources. Speeches were given by Khaya Ngqula, chief executive officer of the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) of South Africa, by Pule Mohutsiwa representing the Bakwena Ba Mogopa Trust, and by Sam Louw, member of parliament, and representative for the department of minerals and energy.
