About Us

Elizabeth Bay, some 40 kilometres south of Lüderitz, is home to the bulk of our land-based operations.

Our company aims to be a consistent supplier of high-quality gem diamonds to the international market. We are committed to the highest standards of integrity and responsibility in all aspects of our business and at all stages of the value chain.

We won’t compromise on the requirements as set out by the Natural Diamond Council:

1. Transparency
2. Ethical, and sustainable business practices
3. Making a lasting, positive impact
4. Environmental stewardship
5. Promoting the health and well-being of employees

Our diamond resources are known to deliver top-quality small and melee diamonds. We combine advanced technology, expertise, and traditional exploration to find and mine the most beautiful diamonds in the world. We care about the ecological and cultural processes that keep life going, so our biodiversity and community are very important to us. Our purpose of unearthing the world’s most beautiful products as responsibly and efficiently as possible underpins our business model. In doing so, we contribute to the sustainability of our industry and deliver long-term value to each of our stakeholders.

We follow the Code of Practices (COP) as set out by the Responsible Jewellery Council as our pathway to a sustainable business. 

1. At Sperrgebiet Diamond Mining, we focus on responsible production and consumption. 
2. We guarantee the country of origin, and we can proudly showcase where the diamond was mined in our mining licence area, be it onshore or offshore.
3. We support peace and strong institutions. Namibia offers a stable political environment, a geological survey, and legislative frameworks. 
4. By aligning with the Harambee Prosperity Plan II, we contribute positively to poverty eradication by creating employment and uplifting our communities.
5. By providing more opportunities for women to work in the mining industry, we promote gender parity and strengthen their standing in the industry.
6. The usage of renewable energy sources is a priority, and we are dedicated to minimizing our energy use overall. To this end, we are constantly communicating with firms involved in wind, solar, and hydrogen energy generating to expand the transformation of Sperrgebiet into a green energy-providing zone.
7. At the state, provincial, and federal levels, we work in tandem with government agencies. Opportunities in the Sperrgebiet Diamond Mining license region are also being explored in collaboration with the Green Hydrogen Council.
8. By teaming up with Youth Entrepreneurial Mentorship Programmes, we hope to encourage local business growth and create more jobs. 
9. Sperrgebiet Diamond Mining is committed to providing a positive work environment for all employees.
10. Research on the brown hyena and other endangered species of flora and animals coexists with our efforts to protect them.
11. We are fully environmentally permitted; therefore, all environmental clearances, compliances, and plans are in place.
12. It is our responsibility to preserve and educate the public about the history of Elizabeth Bay Mine and Town and Kolmanskop.
13. Our company is committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
