Rio Tinto is planning a push into Russian diamond mining, eyeing a tie-up with Alrosa, the state-owned miner, as the global industry looks ahead to rising demand from China amid tight supply constraints.
在全球钻石产业面临中国需求日趋增长和供应吃紧之际，力拓(Rio Tinto)正在计划进军俄罗斯钻石开采业，希望与俄罗斯国有矿商埃罗莎(Alrosa)结盟。

Rio is understood to be a final contender to form a partnership with Alrosa to develop a large deposit near the northern port of Archangel, according to diamond market insiders.
钻石市场内部知情人士透露，据信力拓是争取与埃罗莎结盟以开发俄罗斯北部港口阿尔汉格尔(Archangel)附近一处大型钻石矿藏的最终竞争者之一。

The company declined to comment on its intentions or on wider reports that Tom Albanese, chief executive, had travelled repeatedly over the past year to Russia, a country where Rio has no operations.
有广泛报道称，力拓首席执行官艾博年(Tom Albanese)过去一年频繁访问俄罗斯，而力拓在俄罗斯并无分公司。力拓拒绝对这些报道以及公司的意图置评。

Rio makes the bulk of its profits from iron ore but it is also a significant diamond miner, producing 13.8m carats last year, compared with De Beers’ 33m and Alrosa’s 34.3m. Alrosa exceeded De Beers’ production for a second year.
力拓利润的很大一部分来自铁矿石，不过该公司也是一个重要的钻石矿商，去年产量为1380万克拉。与之相比，戴比尔斯(De Beers)产量为3300万克拉，埃罗莎为3430万克拉，这已是埃罗莎产量第二年超过戴比尔斯。

Rio continues to be bullish about the diamond industry prospects as it develops a new mine in India, expands its flagship Australian mine and explores for new deposits in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
力拓对钻石产业的未来继续表现出信心。该公司正在印度开采新矿，扩建在澳大利亚的旗舰矿，并在刚果（金）勘探新钻石矿藏。
