The hills of Nimbin

THERE could be diamonds in the hills near Nimbin.

A Sydney-based mining and exploration company believes the hills to the east of Nimbin could be rich with precious gemstones including diamonds and sapphires. With luck, the company believes it could become a multi-billion dollar investment.

The company, Diamond Rose, is seeking a licence from the NSW Department of Mineral Resources to prospect in a 222-square kilometer area encompassing private land and parts of the Nightcap Ranges.
