The Natural Colored Diamond Association (NCDIA) will hold a panel discussion, “Natural Diamonds from Canada’s Arctic Circle,” at the upcoming JCK Las Vegas show.
The panel will include presentations from Jim Pounds, executive vice president of diamonds for Dominion Diamond Mines, and Reid Mackie, vice president of diamond marketing for Mountain Province Diamonds. It will be moderated by JCK news director Rob Bates.
The presentation is meant to showcase the “unique story” of natural diamonds from Canada. It will be held on the Showcase Stage, JCK Show Floor, Saturday, June 1, 3–3:45 p.m. More information can be seen here.
