Attawapiskat residents block road to northern Ontario diamond mine: De Beers
ATTAWAPISKAT, Ont. – De Beers Canada says a group of Attawapiskat residents is blockading the main winter road leading to the company’s Victor diamond mine in northern Ontario.
De Beers says the blockade began Monday evening on a road the company uses to move in supplies like fuel, machine parts and equipment that would be too heavy to fly in.
The blockade has not yet impacted the mine’s operations, but has forced De Beers to cease operations on the road.
The mine is about 90 kilometres west of Attawapiskat.
