Diamonds!!!!
 |
Canadian diamond production was 11.2 million carats in 2003, placing it as the fourth most productive nation, after Botswana (22.8 million), Australia (14.9 million) and Russia (12 million). This top producer ranking has been supported by only two mines - the Ekati Mine which produces about 5 million carats per year and the Diavik Mine (owned by Diavik Diamond Mines and Aber Diamond Mines), also located in Northwest Territories and designed to produce at a rate of about 7.5 million carats per year.
Canada's diamond production should continue to rise because three new diamond projects are moving toward production: 1) The Snap Lake Project, owned by De Beers, located in Northwest Territories and designed to produce about 1.5 million carats per year starting in 2007; 2) the Jericho Project, owned by Nunavut Tahera Diamond Corporation, located in Nunavut and designed to produce about 350,000 carats per year starting in 2006; and, 3) the Victor Project, owned by DeBeers, located in northern Ontario and designed to produce about 600,000 carats per year starting in 2008.
It is very likely that additional discoveries will result in even greater Canadian diamond production. Today an estimated $200 million to $300 million dollars (US) per year is being spent on diamond prospecting in Canada. This is thought to be about one half of the worldwide diamond exploration expenditure. Over 100 companies are involved in this exploration effort which occurs in Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario.
A couple more great discoveries could advance Canada to the top worldwide producer of gem-quality diamonds.
