Global mining major Anglo American has started production at its Gahcho Kué diamond mine, located in Canada’s Northwest Territories, saying it expected the operation to reach full commercial production early in 2017, the company said on Wednesday.
With a total capital price tag of about $1-billion, Gahcho Kué is the world’s largest new diamond mine and would produce an average of 4.5-million carats a year over its projected 13-year mine life.
