Diavik mine power blowin’ in the wind
Diavik Diamond Mines (DDMI) wants to harness the wind to help extract diamonds from beneath the earth.
The company — which operates the huge Diavik operation in the Canadian Arctic through a joint venture between DDMI, Rio Tinto (LON:RIO) and Harry Winston Diamond Limited Partnership (TSE:HW)— said earlier this week it has begun constructing a wind farm at the mine to supplement diesel power.
