Anglo American update on De Beers' third rough diamond sales 
cycle of 2020 
 
 

Anglo American announces that due to the public health restrictions on the movement of people and product in Botswana, South Africa and India, which prohibit customers from traveling and prevent the shipment of goods to customers' international operations, De Beers Group will not hold its third Sight of 2020.

De Beers Group is enabling Sightholders to defer 100% of their Sight 3 allocations to later in the year, and will continue to seek innovative ways to meet Sightholders' rough diamond supply needs in the coming weeks.
