Afri-Can Diamond Drilling Vessel DP Trials
Afri-Can Marine Minerals Corporation has been informed by International Mining and Dredging Holding Ltd. (IMDH) that the contracted diamond sampling vessel MV DP The Explorer has left Cape Town, South Africa, for the port of Walvis Bay in Namibia. IMDH will then conduct deep sea testing in the vicinity of Walvis Bay in order to calibrate the new onboard sampling equipment, treatment plant and Dynamic Positioning system (DP II) for optimal efficiency. IMDH will also conduct crew training and a test sampling program to ensure all systems are functioning properly before commencing the sampling program on Afri-Can’s Block J offshore diamond concession in Namibia.
“We are pleased with the high level of collaboration between our technical team and IMDH, and look forward to a successful sampling program. It is encouraging that recent prices for marine diamonds from Namibia have held above US $200 per carat, indicating that our segment has been less affected by economic problems than the general market for rough diamonds,” said Pierre Leveille, Afri-Can’s President & CEO.
Afri-Can is a Canadian company, actively involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of major mineral properties in Namibia. Afri-Can’s creative and scientific approach targets large marine diamond deposits in unexplored prospective territories.
