Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB)

Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTC Botswana) is a 50/50 Joint Venture partnership between the Government of the Republic of Botswana and De Beers Group.

It is the world’s largest and most sophisticated rough diamond sorting and valuing operation. DTC Botswana sorts and values Debswana Diamond Company’s rough diamond production.

Debswana Diamond Company (Pty) Ltd is a partnership between the Government of the Republic of Botswana and De Beers Group, whose main purpose is to mine and recover diamonds optimally and responsibly.

Debswana operates Orapa, Letlhakane, Jwaneng and Damtshaa mines in Botswana. The four mines have contributed enormously to the economic growth of Botswana, not only in terms of direct foreign exchange and government revenues generated by diamond sales, but also through the multiplier effect on taxes, employment and infrastructure in remote areas.
