"Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding . . . to students, not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment

for athletes." Milton Friedman PDAC Diamond Monday afternoon March 7 2016 outline as follows: Diamonds in Southern Africa: back to the beginning. De Wit, M. - A review of producing and near producing diamond projects in Africa, with an emphasis on southern Africa. Davidson, J. - Petra Diamonds – a world leading independent southern Africa producer and explorer. Armstrong, J. - Karowe mine: distribution of large diamonds within the AK6 kimberlite: the story after four years of production. Bristow, J. - Diamonds 2016 – changes, consolidation and the future of the international diamond business. Even-Zohar, C. – The diamond industry- pipeline facing transparency, sythetics, and demand challenges.

11th International Kimberlite Conference Website which can be viewed by clicking on the link below. www.11ikc.com The conference is to be held in Gaborone, Botswana in September 2017, which is now two years away. The conference flier is attached for your interest which highlights the technical themes and field trips which we hope together will contribute to an enlightening and exciting conference. The convenors and organising committee look forward welcoming you along with the rest of the kimberlite community to Botswana.
