Diamond Projects Development 

Afri-Can announced a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate for
the Namibian offshore marine diamond Mining Lease ("ML") 111 totalling 868,000
carats on October 1st, 2013. The report estimates that 413,000 carats are in the
indicated category and 453,000 carats are an inferred resource. A portion of the
indicated resource, some 255,000 carats grading at 0.30 carats per square metre,
will be the focus of a trial mining program. 


Afri-Can's technical team is well advanced with the preparation of a
Prefeasibility Study and a Preliminary Economic Assessment on ML 111. The
Prefeasibility Study will serve as the mining management plan. Afri-Can is in
advanced discussions with its contractor in order to charter vessels that would
allow the resumption of mining in targeted areas and fill-in sampling in other
targeted areas on ML 111 and EPL 3403. Afri-Can's immediate goal is to focus on
ML 111's existing resources in order to resume diamond production in the
shortest time frame possible.
