Diamond Mine Gauteng Province South Africa Tours & Prices 2011 
Home of the famous Cullinan Diamond. 45 minutes drive from OR Tambo Airport. Non Malaria area See key map (E 4). Situated in Gauteng Province The Premier Mine is an underground diamond mine owned by Petra Diamonds. It is situated in the town of Cullinan, 40 kilometres east of Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa. Established in 1902, it was renamed the Cullinan Diamond Mine in November 2003 in celebration of its centenary. The mine rose to prominence in 1905, when the Cullinan Diamond — at the time the largest gem diamond ever — was discovered here. The Premier Mine is shaped like a pear. It is situated on a level plateau at an elevation of about two hundred feet, and is surrounded by hills and kopjes about a hundred feet high. The surrounding geological formation differs somewhat from the Kimberley district. Some sandstone outcrops, but diabase is the common rock. It has one great advantage over the De Beers mines, in that the rim rock is very firm, and therefore is not liable to fall as the shale formations of Griqua-land, about Kimberley, do. The contour of the surrounding surface also is favorable both to the drainage of the mine, and the storage of water by easily constructed dams .
