Lunda-Sul is a province strategically positioned in the heart of Angola's diamond region, sharing with neighboring Lunda-Norte the leading role in the mineral resources extractive industry. Home to operations of some of the country's most important diamond mines, including the giant Catoca (located on the border between the two Lundas), the province has its administrative and logistics center in the city of Saurimo. The subsoil rich in kimberlites and diamond alluvials continues to attract massive investments in geological prospecting and medium to large-scale exploration, consolidating the region as one of the most relevant mining hubs on the African continent.
