Our organisation has maintained a price book since 1998 which covers the full, diverse range of qualities from various diamond productions around the world – ensuring that WWW continues to include the widest range of inputs and transactions in its price book.

Comparable, recent transactions are relevant in any pricing exercise.

Canadian Diamond Valuations

Diamonds International Canada, a joint venture Canadian corporation formed between the Aboriginal Diamonds Group Ltd. (ADG) and WWW is based in the Northwest Territories in Canada. It has successfully fulfilled the role of Canadian GDV in the Northwest Territories continuously, for 26 years, since 1998. This was initially contracted through the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND), currently called Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, based in Ottawa. Since April 2014, and following devolution, this work has been contracted through the Government of the Northwest Territories. DICAN valued all production from the Jericho mine in Nunavut, from 2006 to 2008, and again in 2011 and 2012.

DICAN has also been the Ontario GDV for the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines from 2008 to 2019, when the Victor mine came to the end of its life.

Since 2023, DICAN has been the sole GDV and diamond adviser to the Government of Quebec in respect of diamond mining operations.
