How many diamond mines are there in the Northwest Territories in Canada?

Im trying to find out for a power point presentation i have to do for school. I know of three diamond mines in the Northwest Territories, are there anymore? And how many altogether?


Could you also please tell me how you know, or leave a source. Thank you.|||[Total: 4, the Ekati, Snap Lake, Diavik, and Gahcho Ku茅 mines]





The ones in Northwest Territories are all in the Lac de Gras region.

The only ones I can find are the Ekati, Snap Lake, and Gahcho Ku茅 mines in NWT.





I think these kimberlite pipes are all in NWT. "Five separate kimberlite pipes (Panda, Koala, Fox, Sable and Misery) will be open pit mined and later, because of the higher value of their ore; underground mining will be done at Panda and Koala."





Here's one more, the Diavik mine.





"There are five major diamond mines in Canada: The Ekati, Diavit, and Snap Lake mines in the Northwest Territories, as well as the Vctor mine in Ontario and Jericho mine in Nunavut. Only three of the five are currently in production but the others are soon to follow. Once all of the mines are in production they are expected to push Canada into the number three spot of diamond producers worldwide. They will be behind Botswana and Russia."





I should have gone straight to Wikipedia!
