	www.miningmx.com \| radio It was an emotional decision - Nicky Oppenheimer, E. Oppenheimer & Son
		Ernest Oppenheimer, Nicky's grandfather, was the founder of Anglo American in the nineteenth century.
		Oppenheimer said the sale was to provide for the family generations henceforth which required diversity.
		The Oppenheimers were confident in the future of Anglo American which recently appointed a new CEO in Cynthia Carroll, an American currently working for aluminium producer, Alcan.

	Interview: Nicky Oppenheimer, chairman of De Beers \| \| Guardian Unlimited Business
		Nicky Oppenheimer, chairman of the diamond group, believes the whole aid and debt cancellation mission of Bob Geldof and Tony Blair is misguided if not detrimental to the future of that continent.
		Oppenheimer might, at first glance, seem to be another loud-mouthed member of the global business community who knows the answer to everything, but this is not his style at all.
		Oppenheimer may be a smart businessman who likes to fly his own helicopter, but he is essentially a down-to-earth type with none of the cultural pretensions that can come with such a position.

	Print Article: De Beers heir tries on his diamond crown
		Significantly, Oppenheimer chose to be interviewed in his father's office at the headquarters of De Beers' diamond-selling division - the Diamond Trading Co - in London.
		Nicky became personal assistant to the chairman at 23, though he was long seen as labouring in his father's shadow until he took over as chairman.
		Oppenheimer has said the legislation is more about fl "enrichment not empowerment" and has warned that it will threaten new investment.

		Oppenheimer had made clear the need to reposition the company for the new millennium.
		Nicky's first job was in 1968 as personal assistant to the chairman of Anglo American, the largest shareholder in AngloGold, a diversified natural resources group that has a cross-holding structure with De Beers.
		In contrast to flashy diamonds, Oppenheimer is understated in appearance.

		There are a few scenarios: Oppenheimer may either want to increase his stake (and he may want to buy Botswana’s stake; or, once more, try to purchase the Anglo American part) or sell his 40 percent stake (most likely to Anglo American).
		If the Oppenheimer’s are truly determined to continue a vital (dominant) role in De Beers in the future, it would make sense for them to purchase the 15 percent stake of Botswana.
		When signing some of the new agreements in December 2005, Nicky Oppenheimer made some nice and polite words to the effect that “Botswana and De Beers are like Siamese twins, locked together, each benefiting from the other.” This may turn out to be much more wishful thinking than reflecting reality.

		Nicky Oppenheimer, the multi-billionaire gems baron, is only too aware of the radically different terrain.
		Nicky Oppenheimer and his son Jonathan - tipped as the heir-apparent 'as long as he performs' - like to repeat the slogan, coined by Sir Ernest, that 'De Beers is here to make a profit, but it should benefit the peoples and countries in which we operate.'
		Oppenheimer stresses that the company has for years been at the forefront of corporate social responsibility in areas where it mines, building roads, sewerage and water systems, opening orphanages and helping to maintain hospitals.

	Trade not aid, says Oppenheimer
		Nicky Oppenheimer, chairman of De Beers, gave a speech to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London recently.
		Naturally Africa is not going to turn down debt cancellation or huge aid packages, but Oppenheimer suggests that Africa might be getting tired of being regarded as a charity case and has begun to distrust the motives of the donors, suspecting them of forwarding their own agendas: such as political one-up-manship.
		Oppenheimer cites the Kimberley Process as an example of successful and effective cooperation between African governments, NGOs and the diamond industry to resolve the issue of conflict diamonds speedily.

		Mr Oppenheimer said the stake had been sold because E Oppenheimer & Son, the family's investment company, wished to "diversify its assets".
		James Teegar, group managing director of E Oppenheimer & Son, denied the sale was the first step to the family disinvesting entirely from Anglo.

		Nicky, nice to talk to you this evening, and without doubt the big story of the moment is your family's decision to sell a third of your stake in Anglo-American.
		Well, one obviously looks for somebody who is going to be able to build on Tony's success, build team loyalty and drive Anglo forward as a world-wide mining company and she certainly seems to have all the assets to do just that.
		Nicky Oppenheimer, thank you very much for talking to us this evening.

		Nothing lasts forever and with the death this August at 91 of Harry Oppenheimer, the South African diamond magnate and former CEO of the De Beers cartel, the end of an era in which the world's diamond supply is exclusively controlled by one company and one family may be at hand.
		Oppenheimer inherited control of De Beers from his father, Sir Ernest, who seized the reins of the diamond empire of Cecil Rhodes -- eponymous founder of Rhodesia and the prestigious Rhodes Scholarships -- in 1929, mere months before the U.S. stock market crash.
		Although it was Sir Ernest who built De Beers into a worldwide cartel, it was Harry Oppenheimer who strengthened his father's legacy through his ingenious sculpting of the public's demand for the rock.

		And an extremely calculated one -- the result of a marketing campaign developed at a time when the demand for diamonds had sunk to an all-time low and an increasing supply threatened the precious (as opposed to semiprecious) nature of the stones.
		In the meantime, De Beers is carrying on the Harry Oppenheimer tradition of mentoring the diamond buyer through major life decisions.
		Using its Web site, it answers all the objective questions about cut, clarity, color and carats, while paternalistically educating the consumer about the symbolic meaning of diamonds, an appropriate salary-to-expenditure ratio and how to glean the maximum psychological impact from the presentation of the gift.

		“I have an awful feeling that it suits their domestic agenda.” Speaking to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Britain, Oppenheimer was critical of Europe’s blanket version of African life.
		There was too much misunderstood attention given to its instances of penury and not enough to its successes and diversity.

		Those conversations remind me that it is now too many years since I was last here in Israel, and I fear the passage of time might suggest some lack of interest on my part in the fortunes of the Israeli diamond industry or, indeed, of the State of Israel itself.
		Israel, De Beers and the Oppenheimer family have had a long association ever since my great-uncle Otto first sold rough diamonds to Zvi Rosenberg and Ascher Daskal - the pioneers of the Israeli cutting industry, who had set up in Petah Tikva - back in 1938.
		One of the most remarkable aspects of the diamond industry in Israel has been the consistent and determined backing it has received from the beginning from the Government of Israel - support to an extent that few industries anywhere in the world have enjoyed.
