dc.descriptionMining is not well understood by the general public even in countries like the USA where the California gold rush helped turn America into an economic powerhouse. Contemporary large-scale mining may double the GDP of countries such as Mongolia and Guinea. Mining can also have negative consequences, such as the illicit trade in alluvial diamonds which has fueled conflicts in Congo, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. However, industrial diamond operations such as those in Botswana tell a rather different story. The discovery of diamond deposits transformed Botswana from one of the poorest countries in Africa to one of the wealthiest. While the country has its share of challenges, such as an extremely high HIV prevalence of 22 percent, there is no questioning the positive impact of diamonds on the country’s development trajectory.-
