I’m standing on a catwalk ten storeys above one of the last operating diamond processing plants in Canada.
From this vantage point, you can follow almost the entire process, except for primary crushing, which takes place outside, and the Recovery Area, also known as the “Red Zone.” This is a separate, high-security building where diamonds literally fall into small tin cans before being sorted and sized.
Over the past 15 years, TCL Asset Group has been involved in the closure of five of Canada’s seven diamond mines through machinery and equipment appraisals or the sale of major assets.
Our team has learned a great deal along the way. We’re proud of the work we’ve accomplished, but it’s also sad to see this industry wind down in a country that was once one of the world’s leading diamond producers.
On the flip side, Canada remains a global leader in mining commodities such as gold, nickel, copper, potash, uranium and coal. These are industries where TCL continues to provide machinery and equipment appraisals and asset disposition services.
Need an appraisal of a food and beverage facility, a pharmaceutical processing and packaging plant, or a truck and trailer fleet? We do those too!
