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.Mining Weekly quotes De Beers’ Nicky Oppenheimer as saying that he saw the potential for a major new diamond discovery in South Africa, Israelidiamond.co.il reported. This is the reason that the diamond giant’s exploration team is continuing exploration efforts in that country.
Oppenheimer added that the discovery of diamond mines is a very time-consuming and difficult task. He noted: “if you ask how many diamond mines are there in the world, and by that I don’t mean somebody scratching something on the surface and employing a few people, but major diamond mines, you find that diamond mines are very few and far between.”
Oppenheimer is quoted as saying that the De Beers prospecting team would not invest money in South African explorations unless it believed that there were more viable diamond mines left in the country.
In the last four years De Beers has invested R3-billion in the South African diamond industry, and it is constantly seeking new opportunities.
In fact, Oppenheimer noted, De Beers was one of the first diamond explorers to launch offshore marine mining off the coast of South Africa’s North Cape in order to discover diamonds in South Africa’s waters.
Regarding South Africa’s State Diamond Trader, Oppenheimer said: “From our perspective, we very much hope that the State Diamond Trader becomes a very successful operation and is able to help smaller people in South Africa to get into the diamond-cutting business.”
