Bus/Financial - Mining & Minerals / Gems
English term or phrase: in small scale operations
XY has successfully formed a joint venture company, XY Mining, with prominent local land owners in the Kono District, providing the company privileged access of up to 1,000 acres of alluvial diamond and gold mining concessions in addition to those we already hold in Sierra Leone, two of which are in small scale operations since the end of October.

in geringem Umfang fördern [betrieben werden]
Explanation:

"~ zusätzlich zu denen, die wir bereits in Sierra Leone halten und von denen zwei seit Ende Oktober in geringem Umfang fördern [betrieben werden]."

"betrieben werden" wäre auch möglich, aber ich glaube, dass "fördern" richtiger ist.
