Mining Ice

It's the diamond industry's frozen frontier: Canada's North. Our cameras will visit Ekati, Canada's first diamond mine-the biggest thing ever built north of the Canadian tree line. Diavik Diamond Mines Inc. is spending $1.3 billion to build a mine just 30 kilometres south of Ekati that will have a life of about 20 years. And this northern community stands to join Antwerp and Tel Aviv as one of the world's leading diamond-cutting centres.
