TAHN, GRAND GAPE MOUNT COUNTY – MARCH 27, 2926: In continuation of their review visit to Liberia, the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), has inspected operations of a diamond mine owned and operated by Miner Jerry Konneh.

Konneh’s mine is located in Tahn, Grand Cape Mount where he does his small-scale mining using a legitimate Class ‘C’ Mining License. Alexander Novikov, who is heading the KP Review Visit to Liberia, led his delegation to Tahn Town, via Lofa Bridge, where before going to the Mine, they held a townhall meeting with local Miners, and Brokers.

The discussions focused on processes and procedures the locals go through in carrying out their diamond mining activities, as well as mineral brokerage. The exchanges were frank, and the KP visiting delegation commended the people of Lofa Bridge, and Tahn, for their attendance and opinions expressed. It is expected that the information gathered will feed into recommendations the Kimberly Process Team will present on Liberia’s diamond sector.

The KP Review delegation is concluding its review work in Liberia on Friday, March 27, 2026, with a line up of other diamond-related activities to check on.

Headed by Rebecca Kumba Fallah, the Office of Precious Minerals (OPM), is playing a vital role in the 2026 KP Review Visit. The OPM is responsible for diamond valuation and export/shipment out of Liberia.

The Wednesday, March 26, 2026 visitation of the KP Team to Grand Cape Mount County was supervised by Liberia’s Kimberly Process Focal Point, Deputy Minister for Planning, Research, and Development, Fahnseth B. Mulbah, assisted by the OPM Director, Rebecca K. Fallah.

Mining Agent, Isaac Scott, who heads Lofa Bridge Mining Agency, and Weasua Mining Agency’s Solomon Jacobs, worked along with regional team members in making the KP Review Team’s visit to their respective agencies possible. The Lofa Bridge Regional Diamond Office of the Ministry of Mines and Energy was also inspected by the KP Review Team.
