Published: Tue Sep 23 2014


Most reserves are located in the provinces of Kasai Occidental, Kasai Oriental and Katanga. The DRC's diamond mining industry is fully export-oriented, and it produced 15.7 million carats of rough diamonds in 2013, with the majority of production originating from the Kasai-Oriental and Kasai-Occidental provinces.

Report Highlights

* The mining industry's contribution to the country's GDP grew from 25% in 2012 to 27.4% in 2013.
* Projects such as the IGE Tshikapa project, the Longatshimo project, the Mbelenge project and the Lubembe project - located in the Kasai-Occidental province - and the Mbujimayi project - located in the Kasai-Oriental province - are key upcoming projects.
* Artisanal and small-scale miners account for the majority of DRC's rough diamond production, and around a third of the rough diamonds produced are estimated to be smuggled out of the country.
* In 2013, rough diamond production in the DRC measured 15.7 million carats, a decline of around 27% over 2012 owing to the cash flow problems at mining company Societe Miniere de Bakwanga (MIBA) and the reduction in the number of exploitable areas due to the new system of mining permits issued to artisanal diamond producers.
