De Beers Group has decided to merge its mining assets in Canada and South Africa under the name De Beers Group Managed Operations. The change is expected to create a more sustainable business and to streamline operations in both countries.<\/p>\n

De Beers announced the change as its mining footprint in both countries is shrinking due to the closure of the Snap Lake mine in Canada\u2019s Northwest Territory and South Africa\u2019s Voorspoed mine plus the already announced closure in May of the Victor mine in Ontario.<\/p>\n
