The company predicts that the average price of rough diamonds will be $ 85 per carat, and potentially it could rise to $ 120 per carat.
This kimberlite pipe is also promising because it is next to the rest of the infrastructure of production at the Ekati, added the company. Until now, Dominion does not take into account the productive capacity of the tube Leslie in the calculation of the mine plan for the Ekati.
"Our new focus on exploration gives strong results throughout the project, reflecting the medium-term and long-term potential", - said Dzhim Govans (Jim Gowans), chairman of the Dominion government.
