More than a billion years ago, 200km south of the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories, diamonds formed deep beneath the earth’s surface. The first traces of these diamonds were discovered beneath Lac de Gras in 1991. By 2003, Rio Tinto opened the Diavik diamond mine. Diavik diamonds are brought to the surface by three diamond-rich kimberlite pipes which extend to a depth of eighty-five stories. An awesome task, each ton of ore extracted yields a mere 3.9 carats of diamonds. The Diavik diamond mine will yield over 6 million carats per year and will remain productive for approximately the next two decades.
