Diamonds, precious metals and jewellery remain a
lucrative route for criminals and terrorists to raise and launder money, De
Beers chairperson Nicky Oppenheimer said on Monday.
Speaking at the World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) conference at the
International Convention Centre in Cape Town, he said it was crucial to
legitimise the industry's work and act against those who break the law.
'we are only as strong as the weakest link amongst' |
The annual conference of the CIBJO,
an international confederation of national jewellery trade organisations, ends
on Thursday.
It will focus on the role of the international jewellery sector in promoting
sustainable economic and social development in countries that produce, process
and manufacture minerals, gemstones and finished jewellery.
Sustainable
development on jewellery agenda 14th March 2007found at platinum.matthey.com
The World Jewellery
Confederation (CIBJO) Congress in South Africa this week
featured an update on plans for sustaining development of
the local jewellery industry.
The South African government is hoping to use the jewellery industry to
help develop projects to help lift communities out of poverty through utilising
the raw materials mined in the country.
Platinum is mined heavily in South Africa and in recent times beneficiation
projects have been established in an attempt to keep some of the money made
from mining in the country.
Platinum jewellery is becoming increasingly popular around the world and the
South African government is looking to produce more of the final product in the
country, rather than simply being able to provide the raw materials.
"This year the Department [of Minerals and Energy] will finalise the
baseline beneficiation levels and these levels will be gazetted to allow mining
companies to gain from this incentive," commented the Minister for
Minerals and Energy, Buyelwa Sonjica.
Explaining the effort that the government is now putting into developing a
sustainable future for the country's precious metals sector, she added that
such initiatives are complemented by "dedicated initiatives such as the
Platinum Group Metals Beneficiation Committee, which is a concerted effort by
industry players and government to investigate opportunities in the downstream
and sidestream beneficiation in the country."
