Diamond Exploration Research and Training School

钻石为加拿大的经济发展提供了绝大部分的动力。 自1990年代初以来，北。由于生产目前集中在西北地区，加拿大是世界第三大 最大的钻石生产商。自1998年开始开采以来，钻石行业已投资130亿美元， 西北地区经济包括土著公司超过40亿加元， 社会投资。西北地区三个煤矿中有两个处于生产的最后阶段，如果没有新的煤矿， 加拿大在钻石生产中的作用将减弱，这将对 北方的经济。新矿床的发现将在技术上具有挑战性， 具有多学科背景的新一代地球科学家， 实地地球科学基础、业务后勤和工作中涉及的社会经济因素 在加拿大的北极地区。这项培训计划将培养出能够成为下一个 我们是钻石勘探和开采行业的领导者，有能力迎接这一挑战。它将 培养具有更好的行业背景的人才，他们也有学术资格， 指导和应用最新的研究方法，为金伯利岩钻石勘探计划提供信息。

Diamonds have provided the vast majority of the economic development of the Canada's North since the early 1990s. With production currently focused on the NWT, Canada is the world's 3rd largest diamond producer. Since mining began in 1998, the diamond industry has invested $13 billion in the NWT economy including > $4 billion with Aboriginal companies and > $100 million in further social investments. Two of the three NWT mines are in the final phase of production and if no new deposits are found Canada's role in diamond production will diminish, with dramatic consequences for the economy of the North. The discovery of new deposits will be technologically challenging, requiring a new generation of geoscientists who have a multi-disciplinary background and critically, an excellent grounding in field geosciences, operational logistics and the socio-economic factors involved in working in Canada's Arctic regions. This training program will produce geoscientists who can become the next leaders in the diamond exploration and mining industry, well equipped to take on this challenge. It will produce personnel with greater industry-ready backgrounds, who are also academically qualified to direct and apply the latest research methods to inform kimberlite-based diamond exploration programs.
