Camafuca Project
- Full name:
- Camafuca Project
- Mwana interest:
- Mwana Africa holds an 18% free-carried interest in the project.
- Geology and history:
- Camafuca is one of the largest known undeveloped diamond-bearing kimberlite complexes worldwide and is located in the Lunda Norte Province in northeastern Angola, 20 km southeast of the town of Lucapa. The project area covers the outcropping Camafuca-Camazambo kimberlite cluster of five pipes which have a combined surface area of 160 hectares.
- The pre-feasibility study, completed in 2000, defined an inferred mineral resource of 23.25 million carats within 145m of the surface, at an average grade of 0.111ct/m³, Phase One (bulk sampling) of the feasibility study will determine the viability of further activities at Camafuca.
