Diamonds

The country has two diamond mines, namely, Murowa Diamond (Rio Tinto) and River Ranch Mines, which mine Kimberlite diamonds. There are vast deposits of alluvial diamonds in the Chiyadzwa area and currently there are two main mines involved. These include Marange Resources (formerly Canadile Mine) and Mbada. The Marange resource is however still to be scientifically assessed to determine its full potential. The aeromagnetic survey of the area revealed exciting anomalies that indicate huge potential in green field diamond exploration.
