(Yellowknife, NT – August 25, 2015) Statistics released by the Kimberley Process for 2014 indicate that Canada remains in third place by value of production amongst all diamond producers in the world, and rose from fifth to fourth place in the number of carats mined.
Approximately 95% of Canada’s diamond production comes from the Northwest Territories, with the remainder coming from Ontario. With Ontario production removed, the NWT by itself is in 3rd place globally by value and 4th place by production.
