In terms of operational size, Burgundy Diamond Mines is now the most major Australian-listed firm. The Ekati mine in Canada is its main source of income, despite having its headquarters in Perth. In Australia, it also operates a polishing plant.
One of the few significant diamond projects truly situated on Australian soil is the Merlin project in the Northern Territory, which Lucapa is famous for owning.
The ancient diamond fields of Ellendale and Kimberley in Western Australia are the focus of smaller-cap exploration firms Gibb River Diamonds and Odessa Minerals.
Jewelry Sellers 🟨
Michael Hill and GS Diamonds sell completed diamond jewelry. Although they are well-known in the Australian consumer sector, they do not mine diamonds.
Restrictions on the search outcomes:
No pure-play Australian producers: Interestingly, no significant corporation is presently involved in operational, large-scale diamond mining that is limited to mainland Australia. Not included in these recent findings is the Rio Tinto-owned Argyle mine in Western Australia, which was formerly the most well-known diamond mine in the nation. It closed its doors in 2020.
Outdated information: According to one profile, Odessa Minerals employs 34,000 people. This is probably a data mistake for a tiny exploration, indicating that some information may be incorrect.
