Upcoming Diamond Projects – Liqhobong

In our series on up-and-coming global diamond projects so far, we have looked at Stornoway's Renard mine, the Gahcho Que joint venture between De Beers and Mountain Province Diamonds, and the De Beers Jwaneng Cut-8 expansion project. Another new mine, which is expected to begin production in the near future, is the Liqhobong mine in Lesotho. Like all other mines in the small mountainous country, Liqhobong is a joint venture between the government of Lesotho (25%) and the miner, London-based Firestone Diamonds.

Like many of the current and prospective diamond mines in the small, landlocked country of Lesotho, the Liqhobong mine is located high within the Maluti mountain range. Its name is derived from its location, at the head of the Liqhobong Valley in the northern part of the country. It is located about 120 km east-northeast of Lesotho's capital city of Maseru, with a population of just 230,000 people. The mine sits within a cluster of active diamond projects, including the Kao, Letšeng, and Mothae mines.
