Self-managed superannuation funds buying in to Argyle pink diamonds

“Relative to white diamonds, which are already a much sought after product, the pinks can fetch up to 20 or 30 times the price, with all other things being equal in terms of size and cut and shape.

“There are some where the intensity of colour is so strong that it might command prices that are 50 times more.”

Rio Tinto says the rare ‘pinks’ as they are known, are only 1 per cent of all the diamonds recovered from the mine.

There are only 34 luxury jewellers, or ateliers, who are officially allowed to buy and sell the rare Argyle pink.

Rio Tinto sells a collection by invitation-only private tender, as it also does for the even more rare red and blue diamonds.

Diamonds are measured in carats, which is 0.2 of a gram.
“There are some very intensely coloured pinks that can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat,” Mr Fardon said.

Caution urged on putting diamonds into superannuation funds
Andrew White, an investment strategist with financial and consulting outfit BDO, said there was merit in considering rare diamonds for SMSFs.
But he cautioned there was variables that needed to be taken into account.

“Like gold, diamonds are precious items, and like gold from time to time they will provide a good investment return.
“But there have been periods of time when both gold and diamonds haven’t performed very well for many years.
With the imminent closure of the mine, slated for 2020, that would make the diamonds more rare.
“From a supply and demand point of view, yes less supply and increased demand is a positive.

“That’s been part of what’s driven prices up over the last five to 10 years, and if it continues then yes, you would say that would further push prices up.
“But be aware it a high risk investment sector, diamond prices can move quite suddenly.”

He also said those with SMSFs needed to take a close look at where they were in terms of retirement.
“For example, it may not be a suitable strategy for someone nearing retirement when they’ll be wanting to receive a pension, as unlike shares or property, they won’t produce income from the fund.”
With some of the world’s rarest diamonds, why aren’t there more mines?
The Argyle diamonds mine produces red, pink and blue diamonds.
The former Ellendale mine, in the same region in the WA Kimberley, has now closed but used to produce almost half of the global supply of rare yellow diamonds.

Diamonds were formed billions of years ago from carbon that was subject to enormous pressure and were brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions.

So with the Kimberley proving it has the necessary geology to produce diamonds, why are there not more diamond mines across northern Australia?

Well known Australian diamond veteran Miles Kennedy, who once owned the Ellendale mine with his former company Kimberley Diamonds, said there was no point of comparison between mining ore like coal, iron ore, gold and base metals, with mining diamonds.

“The hardest game in town is undoubtedly diamond exploration and then turning that into a mine.

“Diamonds are very, very rare because they’re very, very hard to find.
“It costs many, many millions of dollars to explore and investors need to be prepared to hang in long-term with maybe no return.”

Mr Kennedy’s new company, Lucapa Diamonds, has recently recovered two of the largest ever white diamonds from Angola, Africa.
Recently Lucapa entered into a ‘head of agreement’ to buy 80 per cent of the Brooking project, owned by the Leopold Diamond Company.

Brooking is only 40 kilometres south of his former Ellendale mine, which Mr Kennedy said demonstrated his belief the north of Australia was suitable diamond country.
“Yes, we believe there’s a lot more diamonds out there but it’s all very long term.

“The drilling in this area was done in the 1970s, and here we are nearly 50 years later, with new exploration methods and techniques.

“But I have no doubt at all it will be a number of years before we can establish anything viable.”

The only other diamond (Look At This) project in Australia is the Merlin operation in the Northern Territory, which is not in production but is recovering diamonds from existing ore stockpiles.
