Diamond Industry Guides Detail Price Drivers and Mining Cord Selection
A detailed guide outlines seven key value drivers that shape the price per carat of diamonds, noting that more than 80% of a stone’s price is determined by cut, clarity, color and carat weight. The guide also covers mining economics, ethical sourcing, market demand and the use of satellite intelligence for exploration, citing Farmonaut’s technology.
A second guide lists the top seven cords used in diamond mining, emphasizing that over 80% of sites employ high‑tensile synthetic cords capable of withstanding loads exceeding 10,000 kg. It highlights safety, efficiency and durability considerations for field operations and again references Farmonaut’s approach to rugged mining environments.
