"Diamond miners are notoriously secretive and likely to obfuscate the origin of their diamonds. <insert institution here> attempts to map diamond mining activity using data from 2019 and 2020 PROVIDED BY DIAMOND MINERS (lol). While the map is incomplete and out of date, it suggests a great deal of activity may be occurring in provinces that have both adults and conflict-free areas."
Maybe the lack of transparency that has ravaged the Global South in gold and diamond mining isn't something to be glossed over for virtual gold mining.
