Canadian Diamond Mines

Canadian diamond mines are significant sources of high-quality gemstones, primarily located in the Northwest Territories (e.g., Ekati and Snap Lake) and Nunavut (e.g., Gahcho Kué). These mines extract diamonds formed deep within the Earth’s mantle, brought to the surface through volcanic activity. The diamonds are then processed and sorted for quality before being sold worldwide, mainly for jewelry. Canada’s mining practices emphasize environmental responsibility and strict regulations, ensuring sustainable operations. The industry contributes economically through employment and exports, while maintaining a focus on protecting the region’s natural landscape.
