Diamond find puts glitter into Emerald Isle
Article Abstract:
Residents of County Donegal, Ireland, hope that the region may become more prosperous following the announcement by Cambridge Mineral Resources that it has discovered minerals closely associated with diamond and sapphire near Malin Head in the Inishowen peninsula of County Donegal. However, others feel that mining could cause environmental damage to a region which has considerable tourist potential. The company predicts that a large amount of ancillary work could be created if diamonds are found in commercial quantities.
