Summary
Journey with us to the heart of the diamond mining industry. We'll profile the powerful machines of the Ekati diamond mine, and the fearless, hardworking people who operate them for the prize of extracting precious stones. At the Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia, success depends on brute force and speed. Here the rotary blasthole drill - half a million pounds of raw ripping power - races against the clock to pound holes 280 feet into the Earth, while the RH 200 excavator rips 45 tons of ore from the pit in a single bite. For these tenacious workers, the valuable gems come at a great risk, minute by minute. Danger is everywhere.
