Argyle Diamonds...conflict free?

‎10-14-2014 01:41 AM

I can't find their policy on conflict free diamonds anywhere and wish to know if they follow the Kimberley Process?

since the mines are in Australia they most likely wouldn't be involved in the same conflicts?? Not sure but it seems unlikely.

The Argyle mine is in Australia. It is not an area in civil war, so the diamonds aren't funding murderous warlords. They are NOT "conflict diamonds".

They have yearly reports, looks like this is the most recent one, no problems:

KCPS Annual Report for 2013 - Australia

(Argyle and Ellendale Mines)
