This is the page about The Alice Diamond Mine. Our sensors have pick a large amount of diamond under a small part of land located just off Stuart highway. We have all so found a trace of low magnetism suggesting there is a large amount of Iron ore at the place we are mining. Although we have picked up many traces of Iron ore and Diamond we chose to mine here because the land is flat and there is nothing that we have to knock down.

Iron ore

And here is a map of where the mine is

media type="custom" key="11164734" It is not on the map but we have constructed A rail way to the nearest state capital which is alice springs of course this is not showed on the map because the government have asked us to keep its location top secret. but the total costing for the rail road this month is: 1,023,000 and we earn 1,500,000 a month so the left over money from the locomotive transportation=$477,000


 * __ COSTINGS __**

$4200 per kilometre of railway line42km=$176,400 $95 000 per carriage3 carriages=285,000 $550 000 per locomotive1 locomotive=550,000 $12 000 for fuel per kilometre per locomotive1 locomotive+12,000

And the payment for the work force each month=33,500 and that subtracted from the left over money from the locomotive pay report is $443,500.

Miners=$4,000 Railway Worker=4,400 Cleaners=$3,700 Administrator=$4,200 Manager=$7,200 Mine Manager=$10,000

So the left over money is $443,000 per month.

The mine will be operating for two years which is 2012-2013 that is 26 months so $443,000 multiplied by 26 = $11,518,000

And here is a design of one of the many mining buildings

So far we have not found any diamond or Iron but we have only been digging for one day and we have manly been removing plants and digging side ways to expand the boundaries of our mine although we have found a small amount of coal which is on its way to the darwin national airport to be shipped to America.

Succes!!! We have finally found Diamond, about 35.75 kg Only just this morning, we are so excited. We have just loaded it on the plane to transported to all the way to Japan to be made into very expensive Jewellery. But of coarse we have kept about $25,000 to our selves and rationed it out evenly between all our workers.In total the diamond could sell for about $50,000 USD. We have also found some more coal but this time it is going to England. Iron Ore is proving hard to find but our magnetism radar has gone up so we must be close.

Our magnetism radar was right. About 25 meters from the last place we found diamond we have hit iron ore which is on its way to the NSW smelting yard to be smelted. no more diamond yet but we have found about 1/2 a pound of gold Which isn't very much but we are very happy to find it anyway.
