3 August 2014

(Yellowknife, NT – August 2, 2014) Latest statistics released by the Kimberly Process indicates that the value of its diamond production put Canada in third place amongst all diamond producers in the world in 2013. The largest percentage of diamonds are mined in the NWT, with a smaller amount mined in Ontario. When Ontario production is removed, the Northwest Territories production alone would put the NWT in 3rd largest globally.  The NWT held the same position in 2012.
