Bring the right expertise to a diamond decision.
A diamond parcel, a kimberlite proposal and a gemology office require different types of assessment. We help connect your business question with local enquiries, qualified specialists and a practical visit plan, so the evidence matches the decision you are considering.
Define the asset or service involved.
Sierra Leone is a Kimberley Process participant. The scheme concerns rough-diamond trade; an investment, individual parcel and company relationship still require their own review.
Mining and exploration proposals
Establish the asset, rights holder, project stage and technical information available. We coordinate local enquiries and introductions to geologists and other professionals suited to the scope.
Material and commercial assessment
Arrange a qualified gemologist or appropriate laboratory for the specific question. Identity, quality, valuation, provenance documents and commercial terms should be considered separately rather than collapsed into one claim.
A specialist office or laboratory
Explore customers, premises, equipment, staffing and the professional standards relevant to your intended service. We can help research the local operating environment and organise professional meetings.
Keep the evidence connected to the subject.
The usefulness of a report depends on what was inspected and how that inspection was recorded.
The company and its authority
Confirm who is offering the parcel, asset or partnership and the role they claim. Coordinate current registration and mineral-sector enquiries through the relevant professional and official channels.
The material and documentation
Agree how stones are identified, handled and examined, and which documents need confirmation. A certificate or photograph should be assessed for its actual purpose rather than treated as a blanket endorsement.
The site and technical claims
For a mining proposal, arrange an appropriate visit with the host’s permission and specialist attendance. Match observations to project records and identify what additional technical work is needed.
Build a visit around a defined result.
We support the preparation and local coordination needed for a useful assignment.
Before the appointment
Share the type of proposal, information held and the decision deadline. We help identify the professionals and checks required before a visit is scheduled.
During the review
Coordinate meetings, access, specialist appointments and agreed records. Material handling and any witnessed activity should follow the arrangements established with the responsible professionals.
After the review
Organise the findings, source documents and outstanding questions. A further investment or operating decision should consider the commercial terms alongside the technical and legal work.

Your questions, answered.
A starting point for a more informed conversation.
Does Kimberley Process documentation establish value?
The Kimberley Process addresses its defined rough-diamond certification purpose. Quality and commercial value need appropriate specialist assessment, and documents must be considered in the context of the particular parcel and transaction.
Can you help assess a kimberlite project?
Yes. We coordinate company and rights enquiries, site requests and introductions to qualified technical specialists. Geological potential, resources and development economics require independent work appropriate to the project stage.
Tell us what you want to build.
Share your target market, sector and plans. We can help you define the research, introductions and local support to move forward.
