The company "Severalmaz" is located in the Arkhangelsk region. His statement - "Alrosa", the largest diamond mining company in Russia.
This is not a pit puddle in an open field, and access to the rich Lomonosov deposit.
Placers diamonds were discovered in the bowels of the Arkhangelsk region in 1980, and their diamond mine. MV University proved the biggest in Europe. In 2012 its reserves amount to 220 million carats (1 carat = 0, 2 g), and the cost is estimated at $ 12 billion. Quarry depth - 100 m, but in order to get out of it, you need to drive a few kilometers on narrow serpentine. Fuel it takes a lot of what attracts attackers - in June 2012 there was exposed the scheme of theft of diesel fuel.
Excavators and trucks are taken from the quarry every day thousands of tons of ore. In millions of tons, it contains about 100 kg of diamonds.
The first phase of the Lomonosov Mining and Processing Plant took place in 2005. This seemingly low-key complex transforms land into diamonds.
Traffic control at such facilities are concentrated in a single center - "caps" on the streamer should not be. The operator monitors the situation and sends commands to drivers.
Selected from the quarry ore goes to the shop, where powerful machines crushed ore - crushing strength enough for the destruction of the rock, but not a diamond - the hardest mineral. After crushing and grinding the ore is sifted through special sieves, screens. Diamonds are on the screens - unless of course they all have in this land.
In 2011, at the Lomonosov field produced 1, 2 million tons of ore, and the weight of all diamonds produced amounted to 557 million carats. The largest diamond was mined here in 2010, his weight was 50, 1 carat - by world standards, not a giant. And the first stone got its own name, was produced here in 2009 - it was called "425 years of the Archangel" (photo - arh-info.ru/uploads/posts/2009-06/1...4476_almaz.jpg).
Mined diamonds in the Arkhangelsk region are valued even higher Yakut: they are smooth, flat, transparent and have an unusual beautiful color. About 60% of the Pomeranian stones - gem quality.
Sort diamonds - a complicated matter and responsible, but necessary. After all, in 2007 the company received the right to trade in diamonds, and a year later Pomeranian gems saw the whole world, "Severalmaz" for the first time took part in the international bidding.

By the way, the Lomonosov deposit is not limited to: "Severalmaz" conducts exploration activities in four other parts of the Arkhangelsk region: Kodinsk, Svetlinskoye, Brusovitskom and Otugskom. Perhaps in five years I'll show you the pictures from there.
