Alexkor is a South African unincorporated joint venture diamond mining company that falls under the Department of Public Enterprises.
It was previously a state-owned enterprise, when in 2007 it entered a government-funded pooling and sharing joint venture with the Richtersveld community.
[2] The company's core business is diamond prospecting and seabed mining along the north-west coast of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa up to the border with Namibia.
In 2003 mining activity by the company had decreased significantly due to losing a land claim in Alexkor Ltd v Richtersveld Community instituted by the Richtersveld community in the area surrounding Alexander Bay.
In April 2022 the Zondo Commission recommended that the company's executives and chairperson be investigated for fraud and other corrupt activities involving Gupta connected companies.
