Rio Tinto Unveils Rare 158ct Yellow Diamond from Diavik Mine in Canada
One of the largest gem-quality yellow diamonds ever discovered in Canada, the 158.20-carat gem is a remarkable find as Diavik Mine nears closure.
Rio Tinto has uncovered a rare and exceptional 158.20-carat yellow diamond at its Diavik Mine in Canada, marking one of the largest gem-quality yellow diamonds ever found in the country. This stunning discovery is also among only five yellow diamonds weighing over 100 carats to be unearthed by the company at Diavik throughout its 22-year history. Notably, Diavik is primarily known for producing white diamonds, with less than 1% of its output being yellow stones.
The Diavik Mine, which is set to close next year, is also responsible for several significant yellow diamond finds, including Canada’s largest yellow diamond, a 552.74-carat gem discovered in 2018, and the 187.7-carat Diavik Foxfire found in 2015.
With the closure of the Argyle mine in Australia in 2020, Diavik is now Rio Tinto’s sole diamond asset. Patrick Coppens, General Manager of Sales and Marketing for Rio Tinto’s diamond business, expressed excitement over the unique beauty and purity of the Diavik diamonds, eagerly anticipating the future of this extraordinary find.

Precious Metals Rebound As Fed Rate Fears Ease
Recent Volatility In Technology Stocks Pushed Investors To Seek Shelter In Traditional Safe-Haven Assets
Gold and silver surged on Saturday, June 27, building on recent gains after cooler US inflation data alleviated worries about potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This rebound follows a sharp downturn last week, which had dragged bullion down to its lowest levels since November 2025.
Spot Gold: Advanced 1.6% to settle at $4,089.80 per ounce in New York. Spot Silver: Climbed 2.2% to reach $59.15 per ounce. Other Metals: Platinum and palladium also posted gains.
Beyond the macroeconomic data, broader market anxiety fueled the rally. Recent volatility in technology stocks—largely driven by shifting sentiment around Artificial Intelligence (AI)—pushed investors to seek shelter in traditional safe-haven assets. Despite a 1.7% intraday surge on Friday, gold remains on track for its fourth consecutive weekly decline, marking its longest weekly losing streak since August 2023.
Meanwhile, Indian domestic retail prices held steady on Saturday, maintaining their elevated positions. In Mumbai, prices closely mirrored national trends: 24K Gold:Â Rs. 1,44,300 per 10 grams.999 Fine Silver:Â Rs. 2,22,850 per kilogram
