    You forgot Elkedra-EDN...currently drilling right now.

    They've only seemed to have found manganese at present but this could be a good omen as Manganese and Diamonds definitely are found in simiar geology structures as can be seen below.

    Another place that has Manganese and Diamonds……..SOUTH AFRICA !!!!!!

    MANGANESE
    The Northern Cape has the largest land-based manganese reserves in the country. In 1990, it was estimated that South Africa had 81,7 percent of the world's manganese reserves. These are concentrated in the Postmasburg and Kalahari fields in the Kalahari region and, in 1995, production from the Kalahari' Field accounted for 85 percent of South Africa's total of 3,199,000 tons - exports totalled some 1,589,000 tons. There is an international demand for high-grade manganese ore which is found in the Northern Cape. Samancor is currently the main extractor and has the only klinker plant for the beneficiation of this abundant resource.

    DIAMOND MINING
    The Northern Cape is best known for its rich diamond mines. These have been the backbone of the province's economy since the days of Cecil John Rhodes, founder, in 1888, of De Beers Consolidated Mines.
    Since its inception De Beers has been the world's largest producer of uncut diamonds and its mines produce 95.2 per cent of South Africa's total diamond output. In 1997, De Beer's Northern Cape mines contributed 38 per cent of its total output of 9,558,582 carats.
    De Beers maintains its base in Kimberley, which is located in the heart of South Africa's diamond fields.
