For decades, the Ellendale Diamond Mine (EDF) in Western Australia was the global leader in the production of high-quality ‘fancy yellow’ gem diamonds, accounting for 50% of the world’s supply. Renowned for their stunning hue and exceptional clarity, these diamonds were sold worldwide by iconic brands like Tiffany & Co. at premium prices, cementing their status as a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship.
However, the closure of the E4 and E9 mines in 2015 marked the end of an era for Ellendale’s dominance in the diamond industry. Despite this, the legacy of its exquisite fancy yellow diamonds continues to capture attention and admiration across the globe.
Exploration and Expansion: A New Chapter
Between 2016 and 2023, IBDH (the mine's current operators) has dedicated substantial efforts to exploring and expanding the extensive alluvial channels to the south and west of the Ellendale site. These efforts have led to the identification of new diamond-bearing deposits, further enhancing the IBD Project Area’s mineral potential. With continued exploration in the region, the known diamond mineralisation continues to grow, promising a bright future for the mine’s output of rare, high-quality diamonds.
Commitment to Responsible Mining
Ellendale’s legacy is not only about producing high-quality diamonds but also about its strong commitment to responsible sourcing. The mine has been developed in close cooperation with Native Title Holders, local pastoralists, and various government agencies, ensuring that the interests and well-being of the surrounding community are respected throughout the mining process.
The Ellendale mine is widely regarded for its commitment to sustainable practices and is certified with an Origin Warranty, Chain of Custody, and Provenance Certificate, offering consumers and stakeholders complete confidence in the ethical sourcing of these precious gems.
