RAPAPORT... The Kimberley Process (KP) and the Antwerp World Diamond
Centre (AWDC) will hold the second of three forums on rough diamond valuation
in Antwerp later this month.
The KP will “continue the dialogue” to augment
its understanding of “how a more formalized approach to rough diamond
valuation would be beneficial to the entire industry,” said Ahmed Bin Sulayem,
the United Arab Emirates-based chair of the KP. “We aim to reach a consensus
for universal conformity at our third and final meeting.”
The one-day event at the Hylitt Hotel will delve into valuation
practices deployed by the global diamond industry, with the aim of developing a
more formalized approach. Representatives of miners, auction and tender
experts, professional valuators and price specialists will participate
in the session September 30, while government, industry and
non-governmental organizations have also been invited.
Better awareness and conformity will help producing countries get more
value from their mineral resources, the KP said.
“Valuation is and
remains a crucial expertise, especially for developing countries relying on the
benefit of diamond revenues,” said Stephane Fischler, president of the AWDC (pictured).
