Diamond Mining in South Africa
Diamond mining in South
Africa kicked off in the late 1800s after the discovery of the
famous Eureka Diamond by Erasmus Jakobs in a river bed near Hopetown. By 2005,
diamond mining in South Africa produced roughly 15 8000 000 carats – about 3, 2 tonnes – making
South Africa one of the most significant diamond producing countries in the world.

diamond mining in South Africa as well as abroad. The company operates and controls around 9 large-scale diamond mining operations in South Africa, as well as numerous others in
