Nestled in the diamond-rich Maluti Mountains of Lesotho, the Mothae diamond mine stands as a beacon of excellence in diamond production, renowned for its large, high-value diamonds.
Owned by global diamond producer Lucapa Diamonds, Mothae Diamonds commenced commercial operations in 2019, leveraging state-of-the-art technology to maximize diamond recovery while minimizing operational costs.
At the heart of Mothae’s success lies TOMRA’s XRT sorting technology and digital solutions.

These sorters, equipped with TOMRA Insight platform and TOMRA ACT user interface, ensure optimal sorting efficiency and productivity. Connected to the cloud-based TOMRA Insight platform, the sorters generate valuable data, enabling remote monitoring and real-time troubleshooting.

Furthermore, Semelane lauds TOMRA’s unwavering support, emphasizing the exceptional service and expertise provided by the TOMRA team. Kothalo Matoli, Recovery Mechanician at Mothae, echoes Semelane’s sentiment, highlighting TOMRA’s responsiveness and dedication to ensuring seamless operations.
