A fine copy, now stapled into new pale yellow thin card wrappers, photocopied paper tile front panel. 6pp, and 6 double page folding tables, three of which relate to diamond production and statistics from the Mine. Koffiefontein Mine is a diamond mine situated in the Free State province, about 80 km from Kimberley, South Africa. It is one of the many Kimberley mines of which Kimberley mine, de Beers mine, Dutoitspan, Bultfontein and Wesselton are its more famous neighbours. The mine was opened in 1870 and consisted of 1200 claims and worked at a large scale in the beginning of the century. However several sources quote it to have a poor yield: 4 to 5 carat (800 to 1000 mg) in 100 loads[1] and according to Streeter the mines were not profitable at all by the end of the 19th century Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
