Diamond Licensing & Kimberley Process Compliance
A diamond deal doesn't close because the price was right. It closes because the Kimberley Process paperwork was right too. Missing certification stalls more diamond transactions than bad negotiating ever does.
Compliance handled properly, before it's a problem
Diamond mining rights, Kimberley Process certification and export permits all sit under different regulatory processes, and getting one wrong can hold up a transaction for far longer than the negotiation itself ever would.
We support mining right holders and sellers through the mining permit, Kimberley Process and export documentation process, so the deal has a legal foundation before anyone tries to close it.
What incomplete compliance actually costs
A deal that stalls on Kimberley Process paperwork doesn't just lose time. It loses buyer confidence. A buyer who agreed to a price three months ago has often moved on by the time the certification clears, and the seller is back to square one.
Getting compliance sorted before you go to market keeps a deal moving at the pace the negotiation actually deserves.
What usually goes wrong without this service
Missing Kimberley Process certification
A rough parcel without valid Kimberley Process documentation cannot be legally exported across most borders.
Export documentation prepared too late
A seller starts the export paperwork only after a buyer is ready to pay, adding weeks of avoidable delay.
Incomplete applications rejected by regulators
Missing supporting documents send an application back to the start of the queue.
No one to advise on SADPMR requirements
Sellers miss legal obligations under South Africa's Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator framework.

ViewQuestions about this service
Do you handle both mining permits and Kimberley Process certificates?
Yes. We support both, and can advise on which applies to your specific situation.
How long does Kimberley Process certification usually take?
It depends on the parcel and jurisdiction involved. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we understand your situation.
Can I move straight into selling once compliance is in order?
Yes. Once licensing and certification are cleared, we can move into sourcing, evaluation and buyer introductions without a separate provider.
