PROFILE |
 |
Dia Met Minerals' piece of the rock is a stake in Canada's first major diamond mine. Dia Met -- which has agreed to be acquired by Australian mining giant BHP for around $436 million -- owns 29% of the Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP holds 51%). Ekati, located in the Northwest Territories, yields about 4 million carats a year. BHP acts as sales agent for Dia Met, and diamond giant De Beers buys 35% of Ekati's production. Dia Met is also exploring for diamonds in Finland, Greenland, Russia, Africa, and British Columbia. The company put itself up for sale in late 2000 after Marlene Fipke (ex-wife of the company's founder) and director David Mackenzie, who together own 38% of Dia Met, stated they would sell their shares.
