There is no standard for how deep a mine can go when it 'runs out' of diamonds. You can review the material, below, to understand more fully how deep the largest diamond mine drills into the earth.

As well, alluvial diamonds -- diamonds pushed along by the flow of water over the tops of diamond-bearing volcanic pipes -- can be picked up in riverbeds in some places.

Do diamonds grow in mountains?

No, diamonds do not "grow" in mountains. Diamonds are formed deep underground under high pressure and temperature conditions, and are brought to the Earth's surface by volcanic activity through kimberlite pipes. These pipes may be found in mountainous regions, but the diamonds themselves are not formed within the mountains.
