(IDEX Online) - Zimbabwe is to allow two additional private firms to explore and mine for diamonds, according to Mines Minister Winston Chitando. He did not name the new companies.

Chitando said the government's new diamond policy would allow for two more private companies to explore and mine diamonds, and that a total of four firms would enable the effective coverage of the diamond resources.
