Venetia Diamond Mine, South Africa
It yields approximately 40% of South Africa’s total annual diamond production. In 2010 Venetia yielded 4.287 million carats from 4.036 million tonnes treated.
The mine is situated in Limpopo Province, 25km south of where the international borders of Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa intersect.
The mine is currently an open-pit operation, but it is expected to convert to underground mining between 2018 and 2021 as the mine becomes deeper. The current targeted pit floor level is at a depth of 400 meters.
