Welcome to Trans Hex Group
Trans Hex Group is a diamond mining company with more than 50 years’ experience in producing gem-quality diamonds for the local and international market.
Through its well-established marine and land operations in South Africa, Namibia and interests in Angola, the Company is engaged directly, and through joint-ventures, in the exploration, mining and marketing of the highest quality diamonds from marine and land alluvial deposits.
Trans Hex Group seeks to identify and acquire diamond assets, either as full or partial stakeholder. The Group is actively evaluating potential new diamond properties and pursuing opportunities to expand its diamond marketing activities.
Trans Hex Group was established in 1965 by a number of entrepreneurial investors who wanted to explore a diamond-mining concession in the Namaqualand region of the Northern Cape.
The Company was subsequently appointed as a contractor to the then Small Business Development Corporation of South Africa to prospect for diamonds on the State-owned Komaggas farm, which it went on to mine profitably for more than 20 years.
In the ensuing decades, Trans Hex’s assets and expertise grew rapidly through the acquisition of numerous diamond-mining companies in Southern Africa and further afield.
The Company was listed on the JSE Limited in 1981 and was delisted in December 2019.
In 2010, the Company acquired a 33% stake in the Luana project (Somiluana Mine) in Angola.
In 2022, the Company acquired 100% of International Mining and Dredging Holdings and rebranded it Trans Hex Marine.
