Yellowknife, Northwest Territories--Dominion Diamond Corp. is partnering with I. Hennig Tenders to sell off an assortment of fancy yellow rough diamonds mined in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Viewings of the diamonds available in the auction will take place in Ramat Gan, Israel, from Oct. 29 to Nov. 1, and then in Antwerp, Belgium, from Nov. 6 to 10.
Participation in both the viewings and the auction is by appointment only.

Dominion Diamond has a controlling interest in the Ekati Diamond Mine and owns a 40 percent stake in the Diavik Diamond Mine as well, with the remaining 60 percent owned by Rio Tinto.
In July, the Yellowknife-based company announced that it was being acquired by The Washington Companies, a Missoula, Montana-headquartered group of mining, industrial and transportation businesses owned by billionaire Dennis Washington.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter. After the acquisition is complete, former Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. CEO Patrick Evans will join Dominion as its new CEO.
