The Victoria Times Colonist reports in its Saturday edition that diamond
mine developer Winspear Resources will began walking the federal regulatory
gauntlet in three or four weeks, according to executive vice-president John
McDonald. Winspear will file an environmental application, proposing to
build an underground mine 225 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife. Early
estimates suggest it will cost $250-million, according to Mr. McDonald. The
mine will differ dramatically from the nearby Ekati and Diavik diamond
mines, both of which are deep pit mines. Kimberlites, geological formations
that may contain gems, are usually carrot-shaped. "Our kimberlite is
effectively like a sheet of plywood," says Mr. McDonald. Winspear will
tunnel into the seem, meaning it will disturb only about 10 per cent of the
surface area of the other two projects.
