Diamond finds could extend NWT’s Misery mine ‘well past 2026,’ Burgundy says
In July, the crew found a fancy yellow diamond about 25 metres below the last planned mine level.
More than 300 Dominion Diamond employees and contract workers are at risk of being laid off at the Ekati diamond mine after a fire at the mine’s processing plant on June 23.
Operations at some of the open pits are expected to be temporarily shut down to cut costs while the processing plant is being repaired.
