As quoted in the market news:
Rio and BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) are weighing a sale of their respective diamond interests as commodity prices decline and the companies turn their attention to investing in other materials such as iron ore and copper. That may offer an opportunity for Toronto-based Harry Winston to boost production ahead of what Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Gannicott sees as a looming shortage.
