Dominion Diamond is a Canadian company with ownership in two major producing diamond mines in the NWT, the Ekati Diamond Mine and the Diavik Diamond Mine.
Dominion Diamond Corporation is proud to be a Canadian diamond mining company with operations in the Northwest Territories. We have ownership interests in two major producing diamond mines situated approximately 200 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. We operate the Ekati Diamond Mine, in which we have a controlling interest, and 40% of the Diavik Diamond Mine.
We are the world’s third-largest producer of rough diamonds by value and are also Canada’s largest independent diamond producer.
We value the hard work and dedication of all employees. As guided by our values and the commitments we have made, we focus on maintaining a predominantly northern workforce, with an emphasis on strong recruiting, good pay and benefits, excellent training, and creating a work environment where people can achieve personal growth and success.
At Dominion Diamond, safety is more than a priority – it is a core value that is an important part of our culture. While priorities change, values are ingrained and constant. A goal of zero harm drives our health and safety culture.
Our Sustainable Development Policy spells out how we nurture a corporate culture that promotes social and environmental development. We are committed to promoting a safe and healthy workplace, protecting the environment, developing local communities and delivering a high quality product.
By following the principles of accountability, teamwork, respect and stakeholder involvement, we strive to set industry standards for sustainable development.
We supply rough diamonds to the global market through our sorting and selling operations in Canada, Belgium and India. The Company maximizes the sales value of its rough stones from the Diavik and Ekati Diamond Mines and maintains a preferred position as a supplier of rough diamonds to the world’s diamond manufacturers (cutters and polishers) by dealing directly with them and tailoring rough diamond parcels to the client’s particular needs.
