Diamond Mining to Restart in Namibia in July
Namdeb is a joint-venture diamond mining operation shared by DeBeers and the government of Namibia. Namdeb halted production at all six of its mines on April 1st, 2009 as part of a DeBeers’ plan to reduce the production of rough diamonds by 40%.
DeBeers has now confirmed that mining will begin again on July 1st.
