Martins Drift

Martin's Drift is a border post on the Botswanan side of the border with South Africa.

It is also an important spot for the mining of diamonds, which is an important sector of the Botswanan economy. Five diamondiferous kimberlite pipes were identified at Martin's Drift, and the Botswanan government granted DiamonEx mining rights to the area. This came at a time when Botswana's diamond wealth appeared to have dried up, and the discovery of the Martin's Drift site came as a relief to the diamond mining industry.
