Lesotho’s mining sector is a vital contributor to the country’s economic growth, driven primarily by its world-renowned diamond industry. The nation is home to some of the highest-quality gemstones, extracted from kimberlite pipes located in the highlands. Beyond diamonds, Lesotho’s rich geological landscape holds potential for other minerals such as sandstone, clay, and base metals. With increasing investment opportunities and a commitment to sustainable development, the sector continues to play a key role in job creation, foreign exchange earnings, and community upliftment.
