The mineral resource base of Almazy Anabara is constantly developing - so, a subsidiary of ALROSA got six new fields for disposal in 2017. In accordance with the results of the completed the washing season, we can confirm that the site turned out to be promising, and all of its planned indicators were confirmed by the final results,” said Pavel Marinychev. “We opened the new Khara-Mas site in tundra zone this year.

But, most importantly, concerted efforts of all services involved are the main factor of success.Īlmazy Anabara continued development of the new promising sites in 2018. He also noted that favourable weather conditions essentially helped to achieve positive dynamics, as the production time at placer mines was extended. In particular, we have upgraded the X-ray luminescent separation line to decrease workload of dense-media separation units at the Bolshaya Kuonamka deposit and to increase capacity of grading units,” said Pavel Marinychev, CEO of Almazy Anabara. “Such results were achieved due to, without limitation, the advanced diamond-bearing sand processing technology.

Indicators of mining operations, carried out mostly in winter, were fully achieved as well - the Company mined and processed about 14 million cubic meters of rock mass. The production target was exceeded by 9 per cent. According to the Company’s data, over 5.4 million carats of rough diamonds were mined, which is a record mining level throughout the Company’s operation. But if the company decided to cut it, it would become the most expensive diamond in the entire history of Alrosa,” he said.Almazy Anabara (a subsidiary of ALROSA) have summed up the washing season of 2018, which has lasted from the twenties of May to the 24th of September. “Large stones, particularly colored, are always in demand at auctions. In a news release issued Thursday, Evgeny Agureev, the head of USO (United Selling Organization) Alrosa, said the company’s polishing division is examining the diamond in order to decide whether to cut it or sell it rough. The Dynasty demonstrated that we can do it at the highest level.”īut whether the company will apply these cutting skills to the newly discovered pink diamond remains to be seen. Called “The Dynasty,” it is the biggest stone of this quality ever cut by the company.Ĭommenting on The Dynasty, Alrosa said: “This stone gives a start to a new stage in the development of Alrosa’s cutting division that will actively develop polishing of extra-large and colored diamonds. The largest of the stones is a 51.38-carat round brilliant, D color, VVS1 clarity diamond with triple excellent cut. This week’s news of the recovery of a nearly 28-carat high-quality pink follows the company’s August unveiling of the five polished diamonds it cut from a colorless 179-carat piece of rough it found in 2015 and dubbed “The Romanovs” diamond. That too was discovered by Almazy Anabara, which recovers pink and other natural color diamonds at the Severalmaz kimberlite pipes and placer deposits.Īpart from that stone, which was found in 2012, Alrosa has found only three pink diamonds weighing more than 2 carats over the last eight years. Prior to this find, Alrosa said the biggest pink diamond it had ever recovered was 3.86 carats.
