DISCOVERING THE EARTH’S SECRETS

​​In mining and discovery, our precision, technology and expertise come together to unlock the secrets of the earth in some of the planet’s most remote locations. Our teams focus on one goal, to discover kimberlite deposits that will offer new opportunities for local communities and release billion-year-old diamonds into the world.

Partnering with host countries

Operations unlock economic opportunity

It’s our mission to give back to our host countries – Botswana, Canada, Namibia and South Africa – leaving a positive, lasting impact long after we’ve discovered our last diamond.

Diamonds offer huge economic and social benefits for the countries where we operate. We partner with local governments and communities to responsibly unlock the value diamonds can bring.
