We have been informed by authorities that 4 team members from our Diavik diamond mine and 2 airline crew members have died in a plane crash near Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. Another member of our Diavik team survived the crash and received treatment in hospital. The charter flight was on its way to Diavik. ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿ÚChief Executive Jakob Stausholm said: “We are feeling numb with the devastating news that we have lost dear friends and colleagues. I extend our deepest sympathy to the families, friends, and loved ones of those who have been affected by this tragedy. I am heading to the Northwest Territories to be with our team and to offer our full support. “We will be working closely with authorities over the coming days, weeks and months, to support their efforts to understand the full facts of what has happened.”
