Exploration diamond drilling differs from other geological drilling (such as Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling [3]) in that a solid core is extracted from depth, for examination on the surface. The key technology of the diamond drill is the actual diamond bit itself. [4] It is composed of industrial diamonds set into a soft metallic matrix.
As of 2014 about 6,400 kimberlite pipes are known on Earth including about 900 that have been found to contain diamonds, with mining of diamonds occurring at about 30 pipes. [ 25 ] The discovery of diamond-rich kimberlite pipes in northern Canada during the early 1990s serves as a prime example of how challenging these deposits can be to locate ...
Canadian diamonds are diamonds which have been mined in any one of the provinces and territories of Canada. Diamond-rich areas were not commercially extracted in Canada until the early 1990s. [1] For the first 60 years of the 20th century, diamonds originated from kimberlite pipes and alluvial deposits in places such as Africa and some from ...
Ekati Diamond Mine, 2010. Fipke is credited as a co-discoverer of the mine, and retained a 10% interest until 2014, which made him a very wealthy man. Charles Edgar "Chuck" Fipke CM (born 1946) is a Canadian geologist and prospector who discovered the existence of diamonds around Lac de Gras in Canada's Northwest Territories. He is now a ...
The Tiffany launch coincided with an exclusive "life of mine" offtake contract between Tiffany's diamond sourcing and polishing subsidiary, Laurelton Diamonds, and the Kimberley Diamond Company (a subsidiary of Gem Diamonds), for the supply of so called Tiffany Quality (TQ) Fancy Yellow diamonds from Ellendale.

Big price tags and diamond jewelry typically go hand in hand. Engagement rings can easily set you back a few thousand dollars, especially if you are looking for the highest quality in cut, clarity ...
Laboratory work in mineral physics require high pressure measurements. The most common tool is a diamond anvil cell, which uses diamonds to put a small sample under pressure that can approach the conditions in the Earth's interior.
“We need to work for a long time to reveal this. In the next period, we agreed to carry out a joint study under the leadership of ITU, Andrew University and AICU. Three universities will ...
