That’s pretty interesting, where was it and what was it like?

I’m a heavy duty mechanic and I was a contractor for debeers in a Canadian mine called Gacho Kue in Northern Canada. It’s a very remote mine, have to fly in on an airplane in the middle of nowhere. Parts can only be driven in during winter when the water freezes. 

Anyways I built a bunch of Komatsu haul trucks for them. They are those trucks that are as big as a house. We also serviced them. 

It was actually a pretty cool experience especially when I worked night shift because the ground would literally sparkle. I never saw a diamond because there is a ton of security. A big shovel (just a massive excavator) digs up the ground and loads haul trucks. The trucks run it to the plant and then the plant separated diamonds and regular rocks. 

From what I heard there is 0 human contact on the site with diamonds. It’s all done by machines. It’s all packaged in containers and secretly shipped out on a plane. 

From what I heard from a supervisor he said that mine has enough diamonds to keep the mine running for another 10 years at least.

I enjoyed the work but it also meant being in a camp for 2 weeks away from my kids and wife. Also only got 200mb of Internet a day lol so it gets very boring very fast.
