Diamonds were first discovered in the region around 1908;[3] however, it wasn't until 1989 that the government of Namibia spent $53 million on the exploration and creation of a new diamond mine on the site.[4] The mine had a projected life-span of ten years and was expected to produce 2.5 million cts of diamonds. The mine was officially opened by Dr. Sam Nujoma on 2 August 1991[2] and stopped being operational sometime around 1998. By 2000, the town was considered a ghost town and tours were run through it by Kolmanskop.[3] In 2005 it was announced that the mine would be expanded, thus furthering its lifespan by eight years.[5] The mine is currently operated by Namdeb Diamond Corp. It is owned jointly by De Beers and the Namibia Government.[6] As of 2009 the Elizabeth Bay mine was operating at a $76 million loss.[7] Elizabeth Bay is home to forty percent of the world's Cape fur seals.[3] Media
