Namdeb (a joint venture between DeBeers and the Namibian government) mines diamonds from beach gravels along a 100-km stretch of Namibian coastline. You can see the mining scars by scrolling NW or SE from this spot. See www.namdeb.com/Namdeb.Web/Operations/Mining+Area+1/

Diamonds are also mined along the Orange River, and are dredged from the seafloor off the coast.
