Diamonds ever enter the picture here?
Since Canada's moving up in the world market. 3rd by value, and 3rd or 4th by carats produced just from the 2 operating mines (BHP's Ekati and Rio/ABER's Diavik) with Tahera's (TAH on TSX) Jericho mine about to begin construction, and go into production next year!
Diamonds appear to be trending up, and in limited supply.
The Jericho mine will be mining the JD-1 pipe, but there are many others in the area (like JD-3) and the Bird Lake Dyke is quite close that have not been included in the revenue estimates! They also have the Anuri Project, (4000 diamonds pulled from a mini-bulk sample) and the Polar Project which could each become mines.
The new Tiffany's agreement is a nice bonus too!
This may be of DD interest for anyone curious about diamonds. (I've heard Tahera described as the next Aber, with the exception that Tahera own's 100% of their mine!)

And there are dozens other documents on that gov't site, including mine plans, drawing, everything imaginable!
Sorry if this sounds like pumping, but just trying let others know now before things take off. (Aber went from .40 to $52 (currently $42) within 9 or so years. It was a nice secure medium-long 'investment' in my opinion, but now it 'appears' to be beginning again with Tahera Diamond.) |
