MINING AND
RECOVERY
METHODS
In certain areas, volcanic
mountains long since leveled
by weathering have left ,
'beneath the surface of the
eatth deep feeder roots, filled
with hardenedmolten rock.
The diamond ,jiipes- of 'South-.
Africa are •such •-volcanic
/tots in the form of funnels
that extend almost, _straight
down for an unknown
• distance. The pipes are filled
with altered ignious rock
known
quantities of diamonds. , •,
•
More than 200 such pipes
have ,been found in South
Africa, most of which have
proved devoid of diamonds.
Only seven major pipes have
so_ far proved worth the
heavy investment their
Mining requires. So often the
yield is too small to warrant
this expense. In contrast to,
the relatively simple
recovery possible in alluvial
diggings, mining diamonds
frompipes Js a highly,
.elaborate and expensive
operation..
By using the mining
method known as "stoping",
work crews tunnel around the
pipe and tpward the center
blasting the blueground. The
loose rock i,s then loaded into
empty carg and lifted to the
'surface- of the maip shaft. In
the -early days', the
blueground was brought to
,the surfacVit was spread on
smooth, flat areas, to
weather until it could be
worked easily. Later, 'direct
treatment processes ac-
complished this purpose.
When blueground is taken,
to a direct treatment plant it
is first fed across , a 5 inch
coarse screen that segregates
the large material from the
smaller. Between the screens
and" pairs of coarse rolls the
blueground is refined and
broken up into small pieces.
Next the Material is passed
through a washing pan or
heavy -media cone, might
destroy large diamonds.
Actually diamonds separate
easily from the kimberlite or
blueground, and ' almost no
breakage takes place. The '
heavy -media separates the
diamond -bearing heavier
material from the lighter
material. This material is
then,, pasged -over grease
tables. It is a peculiar
property of diamond, that no
water film will adher4•to the
surface, so they' adhere
strongly to the grease. They
are then cleaned by boiling
and the diamonds are ready
for sorting and grading. '
Even with the highly ef-
ficient ,with
of- mining,
the yield is low in relation to
eogts. The average- produc-
---tion44741n -a-tons.: 6f, -rained--
• blueground is 4.50 carat, of
which only ' one carat
stuitalile--for--gem purposes,
the balance is industrias.
Since the one carat (geln
quality) of diamonds loses
appr6ximately 50 percent in
ctitting, the final yield is only
about one-half carat 'weight
of gem diamond.
' In many, areas of the earth
,alluvial deposits have proved,
to be exceptionally rich
sources of diamonds, and
rarely requires the heavy'
'investment called for in
underground mining. The
natural weathering has
concentrated .heavy minerals
like diamonds ht the bottom
of streams. However few
'alluvial deposits produce
diamonds 'forany length of
time in one area. For the
most 'part, methods used in
alluvial mining are seldom as
efficient as those that hare
been developed in the well,
organized pipe mines.

Ross , Lishman said the
owners of the three dom-

merger to meet the
challenge of competition
from larger companies and
provide economies in
operations that result from a
larger company.
"The trend is for large
operatprE to buy up smaller
companies", he said. "We
decided that we'd pool our
resources ' rather than be
swallowed up by an outside

personnel that only a larger

Les Habkirk said he a-

Coupled with this will be
