According to the data and forecasts of the Ministry of Energy and Mining of Côte d'Ivoire, gold production in the country will grow to 22 tons in 2016, the Russian Jewelery Network reports.
According to representatives of the ministry, the production of yellow metal by 2016 will increase to 22 tons, 30% more than the current figures. Growth will be achieved through the commissioning of two gold mining projects. Gold mining in Cote d'Ivoire in 2013 amounted to 15.5 tons, this year the output is expected at 17 tons. The
government is actively encouraging the development of the mining industry in an attempt to diversify its economy, which is traditionally based on agriculture. This year, the ministry issued 140 permits for the exploration of mineral deposits.

The program of the recent visit of the wife of Japanese Prime Minister Akie Abe to Western Australia included an inspection of the legendary pink diamonds Argyle, produced by Rio Tinto. The First Lady of Japan visited the province of Australia at the invitation of the regional government.
The collection of Argyl pink diamonds, prepared for the 2014 tender (2014 Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender), consisting of almost 50 of the world's rarest and very valuable pink diamonds, was presented by Aki Abe within the exclusive display. These diamonds are made from the finest diamonds mined in the Argyll mine located in the East Kimberley region.
Aki Abe first saw the most valuable diamond in the collection - a fantasy bright pink with a purple shade of a diamond weighing 1.59 carats of emerald cut under the name of Argyle Toki ™. The name of this stone is associated with delicate pink feathers of a rare Japanese bird, symbolizing the importance of Japan as one of the largest export markets for rare pink diamonds.
Jean-Marc Lieberherr, Managing Director of Rio Tinto Diamonds, said: "We are pleased to welcome Mrs. Abe and are pleased to show her these beautiful diamonds, highlighting the wealth of Australia and symbolizing long-standing ties with Japan."

Scientists from the US managed to squeeze the diamond under pressure more than three times, reports Lenta.ru. The authors published the results of their research in an article in the journal Nature, which reports that the maximum compression ratio that scientists were able to achieve was 3.7 times.
The pressure required for this was equal to five terapascals (which is approximately 50 million terrestrial atmospheres). The diamond was squeezed by radiation from 176 laser beams, which created pressure on the substance, causing the distance between the carbon atoms in the crystal lattice sites to decrease. According to the researchers, this led to the formation of a special degenerate state of the electron substance in the crystal, which is described by the methods of quantum statistics only in certain approximations.
Diamond is one of the modifications of carbon compounds. It is believed that the mineral can exist in a stable state for quite a long time. It is also characterized by high hardness and ordering of the crystal lattice.
Physicists believe that the reproduction in the laboratory of extreme conditions of ultrahigh pressures and densities characteristic of the cores of giant planets will help significantly to understand the internal mechanisms and structure, as well as the evolution processes of such celestial bodies. The study of carbon in extreme states can also be useful for progress in the field of thermonuclear fusion.

The polished exports from Belgium in June 2014 showed stability and amounted to $ 1.363 billion, according to the Antwerp World Diamond Center, Rapaport reports. The volume of polished exports for the reporting month fell by 13% year-on-year to 557,817 carats. Imports of polished diamonds increased by 5% to $ 1.509 billion, resulting in a deficit of net polished exports of $ 146 million, almost double the corresponding figure for June last year.
Belgian imports of rough diamonds jumped 20% to $ 1.301 billion for the month, while diamond exports rose 5% to $ 1.325 billion. Net import of diamonds in June was negative at $ 24 million compared to a deficit of $ 178 million in June 2013.
Belgium's net diamond account for June fell to a negative value of $ 122 million compared to a surplus of $ 103 for the same period last year.
In the first half of the year, Belgium's polished exports rose 6.3% to $ 7.567 billion, while polished imports increased 6.1% to $ 7.4 billion, which increased net exports by 19% to $ 167 million.
Belgium's rough diamond imports jumped 12.1% to $ 7.86 billion, while exports rose 7.5% to $ 8.143 billion. The net import deficit for the first half of the year was $ 283 million, compared to a deficit of $ 559 million a year earlier.
The Belgian net diamond account for January-June of 2014 fell 36% year-on-year to $ 450 million.
