From Panjsheer's mountains to the world, FINE STAR strengthens Afghanistan's emerald industry through sustainable mining, strategic partnerships, and community-driven progress.
FINE STAR Group's mineral portfolio focuses on high-value gemstones (emerald, ruby, sapphire, lapis lazuli), strategic metals (gold, copper), and industrial minerals (marble, talc, lithium-bearing pegmatites). The strategy blends responsible upstream acquisition, selective exploration, and downstream beneficiation—leveraging FINE STAR's reputation for ethical sourcing and provenance assurance in diamonds to anchor trust across the broader minerals value chain.
Geographic Focus: Primary: Afghanistan (Panjshir, Badakhshan, Nuristan, Laghman, Herat, Logar, Ghazni, Nangarhar).
Emerald, ruby, sapphire, and lapis lazuli—extracted with precision and ethical sourcing standards.
Gold and copper extraction through modular units and toll refining aligned with international standards.
Marble, talc, and lithium-bearing pegmatites processed for consistency and global market competitiveness.
FINE STAR Group provides comprehensive mining services covering gemstones (emerald, ruby, sapphire, lapis lazuli), strategic metals (gold, copper), and industrial minerals (marble, talc, lithium-bearing pegmatites), following international standards for safety, quality, and ethical sourcing.
FINE STAR Group's exploration strategy ensures technical rigor and ethical engagement, creating a solid foundation for credible resource assessment.
FINE STAR Group's exploration strategy starts with desktop studies that combine geological data, satellite imagery, and artisanal mining records to identify promising provinces such as Panjshir, Badakhshan, and Logar.
Field reconnaissance then follows, with mapping, GPS-tagged sampling, and community engagement to build trust. Geophysical and geochemical surveys refine targets and confirm grade potential, while pilot extraction through test pits and trial beneficiation validates recovery rates and environmental baselines.
This phased approach ensures technical rigor and ethical engagement, creating a solid foundation for credible resource assessment.
FINE STAR Group's resource assessment process is designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and international credibility. Each sample collected during exploration is documented through a strict chain-of-custody system and verified by independent laboratories, with duplicate assays conducted to confirm reliability.
Using global standards, resources are classified into inferred, indicated, and measured categories, providing a clear picture of grade distribution and economic potential. Detailed feasibility studies then evaluate technical recovery methods, operational costs, and market opportunities, while simultaneously addressing environmental and social impacts.
FINE STAR Group conducts mining operations through phased, ethical, and efficient methods, ensuring quality, safety, and sustainability.
Gemstones such as emerald, ruby, sapphire, and lapis lazuli are extracted selectively to preserve quality, while industrial minerals like marble and talc use controlled quarrying for consistency.
Metals such as gold and copper are processed through modular units and toll refining aligned with international standards.
All sites follow strict safety protocols, provenance tracking, and environmental safeguards like dust control and water recycling. Community partnerships ensure local employment and shared benefits, reinforcing FINE STAR's reputation for responsible, traceable, and sustainable mining.
