South African Natural Resources Gold, chromium, antimony, coal, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphates, tin, uranium, gem diamonds, platinum, copper, vanadium, salt, and natural gas are some of the many natural resources of South Africa. The following are the country's mineral, petroleum, hydropower, and other resources of commercial importance. Businesses should invest in South Africa because they have a variety of natural resources to invest in, and some of them, like gem diamonds, are very valuable. __Diamonds__ Environmentally Safe Mining Area   Our company is located in an environmentally sensitive area. We have a 35km-long water supply pipeline and other service pipelines that are buried. We also have a state-of-the-art dust control system, and noise and lighting impacts are minimized. Our company also established a nature reserve adjacent to the mine and recently moved a large number of animals from a new mining area to the reserve. Our diamond mining and recovery system is a clean operation. The processing of the ore uses no toxic chemicals and produces no chemical pollutants.

Quality Of Our Diamonds Our company has unveiled the world's rarest and most valuable set of diamonds ever put together since 2000. It is the second largest diamond in the world. This diamond collection consists of 11 highly unusual blue diamonds cut into a variety of shapes, having a total weight of 118 carats. Our diamonds were presented to the world with great theater during an impressive ceremony at the top floor of the CSO's Charterhouse Street complex in London. The Steinmetz Group is known as 'the master' in the field of diamonds and is our leading customer.
