Comments on the 2024 Environmental Agreement Annual Report, Ekati Diamond Mine (Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency, July 2025)
The Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency reviews the 2024 Ekati Diamond Mine Environmental Agreement Annual Report and finds it satisfactory but the Summary Report unsatisfactory, identifying four key deficiencies: omission of water licence exceedances, insufficient detail on elevated mercury and selenium in fish tissues, missing acid deposition and incinerator stack testing results, and discrepancies in King Pond discharge dates.
