The Ministry of Natural Resources revealed the remaining diamond reserves in Russia.
They exceed a billion carats. The department emphasized that this is about half of the global reserves. Representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment told TASS that the processing of the kimberlite pipes of the Nakin field in Yakutia, where Russia's first gem-quality blue diamond was mined, began in 2001, and it is possible that such diamonds may be discovered there again.
