From Earth to Market

How We Mine Our Diamonds

Our open-cast mining process in Mokhotlong combines proven mining techniques with modern processing technology to recover world-class diamonds.

1

Exploration

Geological surveys and kimberlite pipe identification locate diamond-bearing formations in the Mokhotlong highlands.

2

Excavation

Open-cast mining extracts kimberlite ore carefully and responsibly, with full environmental management protocols in place.

3

Processing

Kimberlite is crushed and processed through screens, jigs, scrubbers and a DMS plant to create a concentrate of heavy material including diamonds.

4

Sorting & Sale

Diamonds are carefully sorted, graded and prepared for sale to verified buyers worldwide — always legally and ethically certified.
