N.W.T. diamond mine to hire 150 new workers

The Diavik diamond mine in the Northwest Territories is on the verge of hiring 150 new employees as it starts moving its operations underground in the new year. The mine will begin phasing out its current open-pit mining operations and building its underground mining project early in the new year, with the goal of being entirely underground by 2012.
