Largest Diamond Mine In The World Discovered In Russia. In Addition To Generating A Revolution In The Industry, It Could Supply The Global Market For More Than Almost 4 Thousand Years.
After more than four decades since its discovery, scientists reveal the largest diamond mine in the world. The Popigai deposit, located on the border of the Krasnoyarsk region and the Republic of Yakutia, holds unique and extremely hard diamonds. Its volume contains several trillion carats, which places it at a higher level than all the reserves in the world.
How Did The Largest Diamond Mine In The World Come To Be?
According to Aleksandr Portnov, a doctor in mining geology, the largest diamond mine in the world was formed from the impact of a meteorite and was only discovered in the 1970s, but without the possibility of exploration at that time.
Portnov highlights that the significant discovery of this diamond deposit was kept secret for a long time because its reserves are extraordinarily large. The secret was maintained while it was not possible to determine if the diamonds could be used by the industry.

The Non-Negotiable Efficiency: AI and the Sales Funnel in the Industry
The demand for diamonds in the industry is enormous, around 5 billion carats. However, the search in the market for natural stones is still very small, according to Sergei Goryainov, a commentator for the Information and Analysis Agency Rough & Polished.
By drawing on everyone’s knowledge, Sergei states that this low demand for natural diamonds in the technical market is due to the fact that once a diamond is extracted from nature, it is impossible to guarantee exactly what its characteristics will be, making synthetic diamonds more attractive in the industrial sector. Despite this scenario, certain renowned corporations express interest in the largest diamond mine in the world, located in Russia.
Largest Diamond Mine In The World Could Generate A Revolution In The Industry
According to Nikolai Pokhilienko, the director of the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of Siberia, the diamonds from this deposit have unique and exceptional characteristics. They are much harder than the common diamonds we know.
According to the director, this diamond, being the toughest material found in nature, could generate a revolution in the industry of tools and instruments for drilling and transformation.
According to Pokhilienko, they can be used in a number of sectors in the electronics and optics industries. There is significant interest among larger companies, such as De Beers and several companies from Japan.
Researchers estimate that the newly revealed resources of the largest diamond mine in the world, Popigai, are sufficient to meet global demand for three thousand years.
Pink And Red Gem Diamond Mine Closed After Four Decades
The Rio Tinto company closed the Argyle mine, famous for its coveted pink and red gems, after nearly four decades. Competitors ranging from Russia to Canada expect this to contribute to a shift in the precious stones industry.
The Argyle mine, located in remote Western Australia, has been transforming the sector since 1983, when operations began supplying gems for both extremes of the market. RBC Capital Markets and Panmure Gordon are among the brokers, banks, and competitors predicting that the closure may boost prices that have been falling since 2011, according to Polished Prices, which provides data to the sector.
Production at Argyle is best known as the source of about 90% of the valued pink-magenta diamonds that rank among the highest prices in the industry.
Sotheby’s auctioned the “Pink Star” weighing 59.6 carats, extracted by Rio Tinto’s rival, De Beers, for US$ 71 million in April 2017, a record price at auction for any gem. Despite attracting more attention, pink stones represent less than 0.01% of the total production of Argyle.
Uauuuuuu Isso é verdade ou é propaganda para impulsionar a economia da Rússia que está em frangalhos por causa da guerra contra a Ucrânia e a Otan?
Procure estudar e pesquisar mais…pelo contrário, a economia russa está em ascensão desde o início da invasão a Ucrânia…o PIB russo cresceu maís que o dos países da Europa ocidental…o tiro dos EUA saiu pela culatra.
Sou geólogo filho, tá bom pra você?
