Angola

Angola is a diamond-rich African country known for its vast diamond riches, which produced 8,500,000 carats of gem-quality diamonds in 2018. Angola began producing diamonds over a century ago when it was a Portuguese territory. Lucapa Diamond Company owns the Lulo Mine in Angola, which is well-known. Diamonds and oil are Angola's most valuable resources.

Angola has been one of the world's leading diamond producers in terms of dollar value and volume for more than a decade. Alluvial diamond mining will continue to be vital in Angola, and the discovery and exploitation of multiple diamond pipelines will make hard rock mining a significant addition to the country's output.
