Our CEO Wesley Tucker had a welcome surprise while in Botswana for the The Projects Magazine Future of Mining Summit
I lost my most prized possession when getting off a flight on my way to present at the #FutureOfMiningSummit in Gaborone last month. I left it in the front seat pocket of the plane (rookie mistake I know 🤦♂️ ). I told a colleague later that day and when they asked me if I’d buy a new one, I told them I wouldn’t need to, I was certain I would get it back. Why she asked? Because we’re in Botswana, and Botswana is a special place 😀 ! Fast forward 24 hours and coming through security at Sir Seretse Shama International Airport was one of the Air Botswana security team, with my Kindle in hand! I can safely say that in all the airports I fly through in a year, this would never happen in any of them. Botswana and The Batswana people are incredibly special, if you’ve never been get on-line and book yourself a well earned break with Air Botswana 👨✈️ 🛩 ! Thank you Air Botswana and your amazing team! #PushBW The Projects Magazine #Botswana Okavango Diamond Company Diamond Trading Company Botswana (Pty) Ltd

De Beers Group, via its subsidiary Tracr, has been on a seven-year journey to immortalise every diamond in the world in digital form with blockchain technology. It’s an enormous undertaking given the sheer volume of data necessary for the task: to capture it at the source and throughout a diamond’s production process, and then to secure it in an immutable way that is faultlessly trustworthy by the rest of the diamond industry and, of course, its customers. In order to achieve its aims, Tracr needed to access the world’s very best #blockchain expertise in order to tackle the enormous challenge of scaling the technology to meet its lofty goals. Enter Accenture. Featuring Wesley Tucker, Caroline Glassberg-Powell, Hilary Allen, and Vinod Nair Read the story / https://lnkd.in/eK98vzQd #techforgood #diamondindustry

COLLABORATION ANNOUNCEMENT: Tracr & Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. We are pleased to announce a joint testing initiative between Tracr and Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.. This collaboration marks an important step forward in our commitment to be open for the industry to participate in Tracr, and the potential for Mountain Province’s customers to further enhance efforts to promote the traceability of their diamonds in the future. We are currently engaged in a product testing phase with diamonds sourced from Mountain Province’s production from Gahcho Kue mine, situated in the remote Northwest Territories of Canada. We are excited about the potential for this collaboration to offer Mountain Province the ability to highlight the origin story of their diamonds’ discovery beneath Canada’s Northern Lights and working towards enabling their customers the opportunity to participate in Tracr in the future. The test is in partnership with InnovSeed - AI & Robotics Company DiaBot Manufacturer, as the testing technology provider with their DiaBot machine, and Bonas Group. Bonas has become the first tender house in the world capable of scanning rough diamonds onto the Tracr platform at scale. We thank both teams for their ongoing support and look forward to bringing Mountain Province diamonds on to the Tracr traceability platform.

We’re excited to share that we have started exploring integration with International Gemological Institute - IGI a well-regarded grading lab, with the aim to streamline the process for our participants to send their diamonds for grading and add that data to their Tracr diamond record. This integration would expand the Tracr ecosystem and allow us to further develop the quality of information that participants can upload about their diamonds throughout the value chain.
