Production in Canada increase to 3.757M carats from 1,031M carats 2017vs. 2016 year.
About ALL of that production increase is due to GK mine opening. The other production is the Victor mine.
On page 198 of the2017 Anglo American AnnualReport they give more exact numbers for 2016 and 2017 production. Production Statistics. For all of Canada SnapLake was effectively Zero in both year. Victor was 596K carats in 2016, and 724K carats in 2017. GK was 432K carats in pre-commercial production in 2016, and 3.033M carats production in 2017, on a 51% basis.

MPVD reported total sales of 238M CAN for 2017, of which 68M CAN was capitalized as pre-commercial production and $170M (CAN) was reported as sales(US$134M) in the financial statements. (I believe thatbeganin 3Q 2017 was the first full Q of sales and profits).
Average Full year realization of $US70 per carat. (From the MPVD March 26, 2018 Press Release Page 1.)
