Talk:Alexander Bay, South Africa

Untitled
Alexander Bay was put on the map in 1927, when Dr. Hans Merensky the "wizard" geologist of South-Africa, discovered diamonds together with oyster shells on an ancient marine terrace nearby. The Orange River flows into the sea there. The alluvial diamond diggings were soon declared a state mine, a concern which still exists today and owned by a company called Alexkor Limited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.117.31 (talk) 15:52, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
