Rough Diamonds Discovered in Donets Basin of Ukraine
The signs of rough diamonds were discovered in Ukraine’s Donets Basin, URA-Inform.Donbass reported. Geological survey of the latest years signaled that Ukrainian Shield’s Pri-Azov Area is very promising in Donets Region.
The signs of rough diamonds were discovered in Ukraine’s Donets Region, said Andrey Krutko, who is the head of Mineral and Raw Base Division at Region’s Administration’s Main Economy Department.
The matter at stake is the southern area of the region, where seven kimberlite signs were spotted and promising areas of primary deposits of rough diamonds and accompanying minerals were discovered. In the southwestern area, three lamproite pipes and two kimberlite masses referred to the diamond stones were noticed.
”But the found rough diamonds are so small yet that they have no jewelry value. The discovered kimberlite pipes may signal that some big deposit of rough diamonds exists in the depth. Finding it out requires up-to-date equipment and serious financial expenditures. In short, we should proceed with exploration,” Krutko said.
Last year, the diamond signs were discovered in Kirovograd Region of Ukraine.
