Introduction
While diamonds have long driven Botswana’s economy, global trends and market volatility underscore the need for diversification. New players and emerging minerals offer fresh opportunities—if processed efficiently.

The Case for Diversification
Diamond revenues, which once constituted over 70% of export earnings, have faced declines due to synthetic competition and shifting demand Trade.gov. To stabilize revenues, Botswana is expanding base‑metal and critical-mineral production, including copper, nickel, and manganese Reuters.

Johdee’s Role in Coal and Beyond
Although Johdee’s core operations center on coal, our proven track record at Masama and Morupule positions us well to support emerging mineral processing projects johdeemineralprocessing.co.bwpentalin-group.com. From dense‑media separation to custom milling, our technologies are adaptable to a variety of ores.

Spotlight on Manganese
Botswana’s first battery‑grade manganese mine at Kgwakwe Hill is set to produce 80,000 tonnes annually over the next 57 years Reuters. Efficient beneficiation and quality control will be critical—and that’s where Johdee’s modular processing systems can make a difference.

Collaborating for a Stronger Mining Future
By partnering with international investors, local government, and equipment suppliers, Johdee helps integrate global best practices with Botswana’s regulatory framework . Our on‑site workshop in Palapye can rapidly prototype and maintain custom equipment for new mining ventures pentalin-group.com.
