In July 2007, the Namibian arm of Diamond Trading Company announced competitive selection among the country’s diamond cutting factories to be included into the first list of NDTC sightholders. At that time, Hard Stone Processing (Pty) Ltd (HSP) was already working in Namibia as an independent manufacturer and its factory successfully occupied a strong position among the leading sightholders turning into one of the three top diamond cutting companies in Namibia. Its CEO Burhan Seber gave this interview to Rough&Polished.

Diamond explorer Lonrho Mining is expected to commission the dense media separation (DMS) plant at its Lulo diamond concession, in Angola between May and June.
The firm reported that the sampling of the first pipe at the Lulo project was also expected to be under way by July.
Lonrho had identified 217 kimberlite pipes and dykes in the concession area, which has never been systematically explored or tested.
The project had been rated as one of the most-prospective diamond concessions, with a long history of alluvial diamond recovery.
The Lulo diamond concession covers an area of 3 000 km2.
