Finding the worlds largest diamond mine - video interview

[Garry H (Cut Nut)]

My friend Ewen Tyler did this interview for a mining focused interview recently.
Ewen has just turned 95. In 1969 he started the search that led to the discovery of Argyle (and Ellendale famous for yellow diamonds).

It's the biggest diamond project until now I know. In particular, it's a discovery outside the cartel of De Beers and the Russian Federation. So great!

They found it, open cut mined, then underground and closed it 2 years ago
