The bowels of the East European Plain. Part Nine
Mining is conducted in an open-pit manner, and there are deep mines. A large processing plant is also located here. Extracted from quarries or from the depths of the earth, the rock goes through a whole path of processing and washing on special machines.The final ethane is to produce a pure diamond. The diamonds are sorted, evaluated and packed in special metal boxes, and then shipped to London, to the world diamond market. Diamonds with bluish and brownish shades are usually found in Tanganyika, pink and pale green are less common. The diamond itself is transparent and, in terms of its size and quality, is divided into two types: jewelry and technical. The first are diamonds of Perfect shape, exceptional transparency and beautiful coloring. They are used for the manufacture of precious stones - diamonds, the latter are used for processing various rocks or hard alloys. Diamond has extreme hardness. Therefore, its use in engineering, where the processing of new alloys plays an increasingly important role, is growing every year. More than 50 percent of all diamonds mined in Tanganyika go to jewelry production. Very large diamonds are relatively rarely found. Between 1940 and 1956, 11 diamonds were found, each weighing more than 100 carats. The largest Mwadui diamond had a yellowish color and weighed 240.8 carats. Gold mining currently ranks second in the country's mining industry. This yellow metal is extracted from quarries and mines.
Hundreds of African workers, armed with a jackhammer, and more often than not with a pickaxe, descend into stuffy dungeons and deep quarries to bring gold to the mountain together with the rock. The largest gold mines are located in the southwestern and central parts of the country, in the areas of Geita, Musoma, Singunda and Lupa (near Mine). All of them are owned by foreign companies. In addition to diamonds and gold, small amounts of tin, lead, tungsten, magnesite, pyrochlore (a mineral of complex composition that serves as a raw material for the production of rare earth elements niobium and tantalum) are mined in Tanganyika. Lime, asbestos, phosphorites, table salt, mica, gypsum are also mined. The tin mines are located in the west of the country in the Mpanda region. For the convenience of ore export, a railway line was built here, which connects to the Dar es Salaam-Kigoma line. The Telegram digital economy is fascinating — Stars, NFT gifts, Premium, mini-apps.
