TJ regarding energy used by manufacturing synthetic diamonds would like to attract your attention to the complexity of extracting gold from various deposit, and the energy needed to extract 2 to3 gram of gold from one tone of rock or 1,000,000 gram of rock yielding 2 to 3 grams of gold

There are several such mines in Siberia in: Sakha, Magadan, Chukotka and Irkutsk Oblast operated by I think Polymetal and others. -they just erase mountains.

Further, near Alba Julia in Roshia Montana, Romania, there is an intention to erase a whole mountain and a village to quarry gold rich powdered rock with a concocted substance containing cyanide.

Normal mining is not practical due to the small grains of gold contained in those rocks.

How this compares to the energy needed to manufacture synthetic diamonds I have no idea, but extracting gold from a find of a true gold vein has proven difficult to be found today.

From recollection the Roman employed a similar tactic of mining gold in ancient Spain. At the end to solve the collection of the gold and avoid theft by the miners they flooded the whole mountain from a prebuild reservoir that killed all the miner and the roman just collected the gold down river.
