Delegates will also hear technical presentations on large-stone diamond populations and their origin, recovery and provenance (in the case of alluvial deposits).
Developments in local and international diamond exploration and mining, the unique alluvial diamond deposits of the Northern Cape (including the marine placers of the West Coast) and North West provinces will be covered.
A trade show will also take place at the same venue of the conference.
This will exhibit earthmoving equipment, new approaches in design of diamond processing plant and advanced recovery technologies, including single-particle sorting developments.
