Our Mines

Our mines are located in Sierra Leone: Zimmi, Kono and Kenema.  Sierra Leone is one of the top 10 diamond-producing countries in Africa. Sierra Leone is renowned for its high-quality rough diamonds, which are often extremely pure and free of inclusions. These rough diamonds are prized for their clear and transparent characteristics.

ARC Enterprises intends to expand into other areas in Sierra Leone as well as other countries in Africa.

Future Endeavors

Scholarship Program:

Our future goal is to have sponsors support children from primary school to college. This scholarship program aims to enable children in the community to earn degrees and invest in their community, fostering growth, development, and sustainability.

Cultivation Program:

Recognizing the underrepresentation of African ancestry and women in the diamond mining industry, ARC Enterprises aims to start a training program to increase diversity. We will provide a step-by-step guide to entering the mining industry, focusing on groups with minimal representation.

Collaboration Program:

We aim to partner with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) jewelers and become a primary supplier for them. BIPOC jewelry designers often face challenges in securing products from an industry not accustomed to doing ample business with BIPOC. Our goal is to increase the inventory available to BIPOC jewelry designers at reasonable prices.

Gem-Cutting Training Program:

Sponsor Sierra Leoneans to attend a gemologist certificate program then a lapidary training program.   The majority of the candidates selected will be female.

Gender Equity Program:

Ten percent of all inventory sold will be used to assist African women in mining.
