BOTSWANA-ECONOMY-MINING-DIAMONDS-DEBEERS-UK-COMPANY

Trucks are loaded with rocks at the world's richest by production value open pit Diamond mine, Jwaneng, 160km south west of Gaborone on March 17, 2008. Botswana launches its own diamond trading company on March 18, 2008 in a move designed to boost local business and create jobs for citizens of the world's top producer of these precious stones. The creation of Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB), a joint venture between De Beers and the Botswana government, will end the practice of sending diamonds mined in Botswana to De Beers' London-based main Diamond Trading Company for sorting and marketing. The pit is 350m deep and 2 kilometers wide. AFP PHOTO / ALEXANDER JOE (Photo by ALEXANDER JOE / AFP) (Photo by ALEXANDER JOE/AFP via Getty Images)
