Angola has announced the discovery of a new kimberlite field, the host rock for diamonds. This is the country’s first such find in three decades and a major breakthrough for its mining sector.
The discovery was confirmed by Endiama, Angola’s national diamond company, which described it as a historic moment. Kimberlite deposits are the primary source of natural diamonds, and this new field could significantly increase Angola’s reserves and production capacity in the near future.
Officials explained that the find is the result of renewed investment in geological exploration after years of limited activity. Angola is already one of the top producers of diamonds globally, but experts believe much of its potential remains untapped.

Endiama said further surveys and feasibility studies will determine the size and commercial value of the deposit. The announcement has already attracted attention from international investors who see Angola as one of the most promising frontiers in diamond exploration.
Industry analysts say the discovery has the potential to strengthen Angola’s economy and reaffirm its position as a key player in the global diamond market.
