Victor Diamond Mine

De Beers has filled the decommissioned Victor Diamond mine, in northern Ontario, Canada, with almost 12 billion gallons of water and turned it into a lake. Virtually nothing now remains of the mine, which opened in 2008 and closed in May 2019. Over its life, more than 8.2 million carats of diamonds were recovered at Victor. It was identified in 1987 as Canada's first economically viable diamond deposit, and De Beers Group Canada spend $2.6 billion building and operating it during its lifetime.

The De Beers Code Of Origin

To increase the value and visibility of its brand, De Beers hopes to eventually sell most of its diamonds with a code of origin that indicates De Beers mined them. Each code of origin diamond will have a unique table inscription that will identify it as a natural, conflict-free diamond that was discovered by De Beers in Botswana, Canada, Namibia or South Africa.
