The mining company Anglo American said that it belongs to De Beers in the framework of this year's sales of the seventh cycle was able to get $ 630 million versus $ 528 million in the previous cycle.
This year, the sixth sales cycle proved to be the weakest for the company in terms of revenue due to the seasonal drop in demand. In April, the sales figures were the highest and amounted to $ 666 million.
"As part of the seventh of the sales cycle, we observed a strong demand for diamond products Demand side cutters increased as they sought to prepare the diamonds to an important season in retail sales.", - said Bryus Kliver (Bruce Cleaver ), CEO of De Beers.
In late July, Anglo American said that De Beers profit increased by 2% to $ 585 million in the first half of 2016, versus $ 576 million in the same period a year earlier. This was due to an increase in revenue due to higher demand for diamonds, a more strict control of operating costs and more favorable exchange rates.
Total revenue miners also rose, increasing by 8%, to $ 3.3 billion in the first half. A year earlier the rate was $ 3 billion. This growth was driven by the growth of diamond sales, which increased by 11%, to $ 3.1 billion.

Diamond mining in Botswana has fallen by 33.4% in the third quarter of 2015 due to the closure of mines, according to the Central statistical management of the country.
Of Debswana, a joint venture between De Beers and the Botswana government, has reduced processing volumes of rock at the first plant in Orapa (Orapa), and closed its smaller Damtsha mine (Damtshaa).
As noted by African News Agency, without telling in this specific performance indicators, in addition to diamond mining in Botswana also dropped the production of copper, nickel and cobalt.
Acting chief statistician Botswana Barton Mguni (Burton Mguni) noted that the production decline is almost no impact on the country's position in the global index of the mining industry. He adds that its level remains "positive" and 66%.
"Even if the production figures of these three types of mineral raw materials greatly reduced compared to diamond mining, their impact on the percentage change in the index will be minimal due to their small joint contribution to the index," - he said.
