The article could include how the kimberlite pipes making up the mine were discovered. That is, how the discovery of alluvial diamonds in the area mapped a diamond trail which eventually led to the discovery of the kimberlites. This could give more insight into the process of prospecting for diamonds in this diamond zone. The article could also explain what makes the diamonds in Jwaneng mine of high quality and grade. That is, how the environment is most favorable for kimberlite pipes.

The article is rated as star-class, with medium to low importance and is a part of several WikiProjects, being: Mining, Africa and Business.
