Jun 25, 2014 A surge of diamond mining in northern Canada aims to be a boon for the economy. Running a mining operation in the remote tundra region of the Northwest Territories is costly and challenging, but demand for conflict-free diamonds is high.
16-06-2015· For thousands of years, diamonds lay undiscovered deep within the tundra of the Canadian Arctic. It wasn't until the early 1990s that diamond mining began in the Ekati mine located in the Northwest Territories, spawning the opening of several rich diamond mines. Today, the Canadian diamond output is responsible for approximately 15% of the world's supply of rough diamonds.
The quoted size of the global rough diamond market in any given year will vary slightly depending on the estimate. For example, in 2012 the Kimberly process recorded a market value of U$12.6
03-09-2013· With diamond supply expected to run out on land in as little as 15 years, Canadian mines may become the most viable source for diamond mining.
Diamonds in Canada? Throughout the 20th century most people would never have thought about Canada being an important producer of diamonds. [1] Most people's knowledge of diamonds was fixed on mining operations in Africa and diamond trading centers in Europe.. All of this started to change in 1991 when two geologists, Chuck Fipke and Stewart Blusson, found evidence of diamond-bearing
28-10-2019· How Are Diamonds Mined? Although your search for a natural diamond may begin with a trusted online retailer or in a velvet lined glass case, diamonds come from—or are more accurately mined from—a source much closer to earth. About one hundred miles underground, heat and pressure from the earth crystallize carbon into rough diamonds.

The Canada Border Services Agency “Memorandum D-19-6-4” outlines the requirements and controls for the import of rough diamonds into Canada. A certificate issued by the exporting Kimberley Process authority is required to accompany imports of rough diamonds into Canada.
A Canadian Kimberley Process Certificate is required to export rough diamonds from Canada if the diamonds fall under subheading 7102.10, 7102.21 or 7102.31 of the Customs Tariff's Schedule (PDF, 5.14 mb).The customs authorities in both Canada and the destination country will require this certificate to verify that the Canadian exporter is meeting all the requirements of the Kimberley Process.

Where are Canadian diamonds cut and polished? Just because a diamond was mined it Canada does not mean it was cut and polished locally. The diamond-cutting industry in Canada is still relatively small so most rough Canadian diamonds are shipped overseas to be sold and cut in countries such as Israel, India, Belgium and Vietnam.

Diamonds in the Rough explores the lives of African laborers on Angola’s diamond mines from the commencement of operations in 1917 to the colony’s independence from Portugal in 1975. The mines were owned and operated by the Diamond Company of Angola, or Diamang, which enjoyed exclusive mining and labor concessions granted by the colonial government.
To make mining efficient and effective, the raw rock and soil are typically not examined on-site. Instead, they are transported to special plants where the ore is processed and the rough diamonds are extracted. Depending on how rich the ore is, a few hundred tons of ore might be sieved just to produce a single carat of gem quality rough diamonds.
