Hear about the Cullinan kimberlite pipe near Pretoria, which was discovered in 1902, and open-pit mining commenced at the ‘Premier’ mine (as it was then known) in 1903. Ore extraction has been by underground mining methods since 1946. The mine was renamed Cullinan as part of its centenary celebrations and to link the mine to the illustrious heritage of the Cullinan diamond, which provided the two main polished diamonds within the British Crown Jewels (the 530-carat Great Star of Africa and the 317-carat Lesser Star of Africa).
