Canadian diamonds

Canadian diamonds are diamonds which have been mined in any one of the major Provinces and territories of Canada. Diamond-rich areas weren't discovered in Canada until the early 1990s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.earthexplorer.com/2008-08/Diamond_Discoveries_in_Canada_North.asp )〕 Before that time, diamond mining in Canada had been essentially non-existent. However, within 10 years of their discovery, major diamond mines were unearthed and active mining began. Canada is currently the 3rd largest diamond producing country in the world. Canadian diamonds are well known for their guaranteed “conflict-free” origins.
==History==
Chuck Fipke and Stewart Blusson are credited with the discovery of the first diamond mines found in Canada in the mid 1980s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wired.com/science/planetearth/magazine/16-12/ff_diamonds?currentPage=all )〕 The first diamond rich area they discovered was in Point Lake, but it was quickly determined to be an uneconomical piece of land. Its find though, resulted in the largest diamond staking rushes in the history of mining. This massive search resulted in the discovery of the Ekati Diamond Mine which is home to 156 kimberlite pipes. Fipke and Blusson still share a 20% ownership of the mine, and since its discovery and start of operation in 1998, Ekati has produced over 40 million carats of diamonds. The discovery and later success of this diamond mine caught the attention of other major mining operations, and more massive mines were opened and fully operational within 10 years.
