Stone's Value! A stone discovered in a pond during excavation is valued between 10 to 15 lakh rupees. How many stones might have been found, and does the miner know how much the stone was sold for?

What can be done to increase demand and value of gemstones (Natural Stones) in a declining market? It has been known that gemstones and natural stones market is a very niche market and became more small since the innovation of synthetic stones. It's not only the market that has declined but also the market value for Natural stones or gemstones especially in Africa where most miners have no control over the pricing for their stones which makes the miners breakeven or small profit and sometimes loss. Alot needs to be done to ensure profitablity in the mining sector especially gemstone regardless of how niche the Market is. #stonevaluation #policyreforms #valuechainstudy #gemstonebroker #marketvaluation #marketdemand

Colossal 2,492-Carat #Diamond Unearthed in #Botswana: Second Largest in #History A massive 2,492-carat rough diamond, believed to be the second-largest ever discovered, has been unearthed in Botswana by Lucara Diamond Corp. This extraordinary find, second only to the famous Cullinan diamond, showcases cutting-edge mining technology and highlights Botswana's prominence in the global diamond industry. The discovery marks a significant moment in gemstone history and could have far-reaching implications for the diamond market

Newly discovered Lion Gold Zone ⛏️ The ongoing surface exploration program in 2024 uncovered several large quartz outcrops and subcrops in an area that was never explored before, 4 km along strike away from the Jaguar Gold Zone. This gold trend-oriented NE parallels the Lynx Gold Trend, which extends more than 10 km between the Lynx and Panthera gold zones. The new gold zone, the Lion Gold Zone, is closely associated with a major fault, the McCormack Brook Fault. Prospection uncovered altered sediment and rhyolite with mineralized quartz veins similar to the mineralization found at the LGZ. An initial ten samples were collected with assay highlights of 72 g/t Au, 2.61 g/t Au, 0.13 g/t Au and 0.07 g/t Au. The 72 g/t gold sample is composed of quartz, oxidized sulphides and fragments of altered rhyolite. 🔹TSXV: PUMA | OTCQB: PUMXF 🔹 #gold #mining #exploration #newbrunswick #investing #goldmining Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g3JdhSZg

🌟 Transformative Workshop Experience Shared by Victoria! 🌟 We are thrilled to share an incredible testimonial from Victoria, who attended our workshop on the basics of responsible diamond mining: "From this workshop, I have learned lots of things because from the time the diamond mine was founded, our parents had the notion that corundum was the rock that is traveling with a diamond. They never knew that diamond came from the volcano and pull it up with no other rock with the diamond. So whatever they saw as corundum, they classified it as a diamond sample. Today I learned that the Mambo quartz is what we should call a diamond sample because it twists, goes along with the diamond in the rivers and streams, hits against one another, and is deposited where you find many diamonds. We've been thinking that diamond is heavier than rock, so when we did our mineral work, we cut (throw away) the rock on the surface. In this training, I was taught how to separate the rocks three times. That makes me know that rock and diamond have the same density. I never knew it, so each time we did diamond work, we threw the big diamonds away! I didn't know that diamonds don't have a magnet. I thank Diamonds for Peace for the knowledge they have passed on to me." A big thank you to Victoria for sharing her insights gained from the workshop! 🙌💎 Your journey in responsible diamond mining is an inspiration to us all. Let's continue learning and growing together! 💼🛠️ #DiamondMining #EmpowermentWorkshop #KnowledgeSharing

🚨 Mercury levels are increasing every two years due to artisanal gold mining. In our most recent video, Terry Garde emphasizes the profound awareness artisanal miners have about the risks of mercury for themselves, their families, and the environment. 🌍 This issue is particularly crucial in light of the UN Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global treaty aimed at safeguarding human health and the environment from the harmful effects of mercury. Here's the game-changer: The large-scale mining industry holds immense potential to play a pivotal role in addressing this concern. Curious to explore concrete solutions?
