The McArthur River mine in the Northern Territory of Australia, produces many industrial grade diamonds but frequently has flooding problems from the McCarthur River which is an important river system in the N.T. The N.T only has two seasons a year ~ the ‘wet’ and the ‘dry’. During a typical monsoonal ‘wet’ season the heavy rainfalls close the mine each year.
Due to it’s extremely remote location, it is only reachable by road for six months out of every year so keeping supplies going into the minesite is a very expensive exercise. The mine personnel work a 2 week out, 1 week in fly-in/fly-out roster. It’s a lifestyle that many city dwellers are very unfamiliar with but these are some of the conditions under which our Diamonds are mined.
