Elena Obraztsova: "Diamonds make me excited, if the artwork is touched by God’s Spark!”
Her last name meaning “exemplary” suits her as no one else: the artist fanatically devoted to music, the singer for whom her profession is her passion and the paramount sense of life, the magnetic personality, Elena Obraztsova is the first Russian singer who received the status of a legend of the world vocal.

Major Tacks in Geological Exploration to Reproduce Mineral Resources Base of Precious Metals
The mineral resources base of gold in Russia laid in mainly during previous years is sufficient in its bulk to build up domestic gold mining in the longer term. It is composed of reserves harbored by genuine gold ore deposits (5 700 tons), complex deposits (2 600 tons) and alluvial de-posits (1 400 tons).

The Future of the Russian Gold Mining Industry
For many decades, the gold mining industry of the Soviet Union remained one of the largest in the world holding the well-balanced second place after South Africa in terms of gold output. From 1991, the industry started to decay, when instead of ten large territorial enterprises of Russia there emerged over 600 subsoil using companies mining from their first tens of kilos to 1.5-2.0 tons of metal per year. Naturally, such businesses could neither maintain geological exploration nor gold mining in the country.

The idea is that there will not be major shift in the price
Strategically located to the western coast of Southern Africa, Angola is the third largest and one of the most mineral potentially endowed and blessed country in sub-Saharan Africa. Angola said 8.6 million carats were mined by the formal sector in 2007. Endiama (Empresa de Diamantes de Angola) is the national diamond company of Angola founded in 1981 and it is the exclusive concessionary of mining rights in the domain of diamonds. Our agency had a possibility to address a couple of questions to the Head of Department of Strategical Planning and Investments, Tiago Dias.
