Diavik Mine

Fox Fire (Largest Rough Diamond found to date)

The Diavik mine, located in a province in northern Canada, is one of the world’s preeminent sources of gem diamonds. Since mining operations began in 2003, it has produced over 100 million carats of diamonds. Diavik is situated in a remote subarctic setting in the Northwest Territories. Four kimberlite pipes occur in close proximity—three are being mined, while the fourth will be brought into production in 2018. Diavik is now expected to operate through 2024; upon closure, the equipment, buildings, and infrastructure will be removed and the land returned as closely as possible to its original condition.
