Ntsikitsana Minerals was founded in 2021 with a single powerful belief: that mining can be a force for good. Headquartered in Mokhotlong, one of Lesotho's most remote and resource-rich districts, we set out to build a diamond mining and exploration company that would change the narrative around African mining.
From day one, we committed to responsible exploration and production — operating transparently, legally and with the full support of local communities, the Lesotho government and international partners.
Today, Ntsikitsana Minerals is preparing to transform the Mokhotlong economy by creating approximately 300 new jobs, stimulating local procurement and delivering quality raw diamonds to buyers worldwide.
To be a leading, responsible diamond mining company in southern Africa — recognised for our commitment to ethical practice, environmental care and meaningful community impact.
To mine and explore for diamonds responsibly in Mokhotlong, Lesotho, producing quality raw diamonds for customers worldwide while creating sustainable value for our employees, communities and the environment.
Integrity. Responsibility. Safety. Innovation. Community. Sustainability. These are not words on a wall — they are the principles that guide every decision we make.
We commit to the triple bottom line — people, profit and planet — ensuring our business creates value that extends far beyond the mine site into the lives of every Mosotho we touch.
Ntsikitsana strives to make a real contribution to the triple bottom line — people, profit and planet. This includes enhancing our local environment to the benefit of employees and communities through various initiatives which aim to stimulate local socio-economic development.
By choosing to buy local products and services, supporting new businesses and providing investment for development through government and NGO partnerships, we aim to leave Mokhotlong better than we found it.
