  Landforming by the 1Q 2026, monitoring 10 years   Diamonds may be forever, but the mines they come from are just a short chapter in the story of the surrounding land. The Argyle diamond mine lies in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, on the traditional Country of the Miriwoong and Gija people. “The completion of the Argyle process plant infrastructure removal is a major milestone for the project.
