Russia's Alrosa produced 9.9 million carats of diamonds in the third quarter of this year, an increase of 9 percent compared to the year-earlier period, and 27.1 million carats for the first nine months of the year, an increase of 6 percent on the year.
"The increase in production was due primarily to the acquisition of the diamond mining company Nizhne-Lenskoye, an increase in ore grade at the Jubilee pipe and a higher output from the Mir underground mine," the miner said.
Alrosa, the largest diamond producer by volume and second largest by value, produced 34.4 million carats of rough diamonds in 2012.
