Angola is recognised as one of the most prospective countries for new diamond discoveries

• Historical reports indicate that over 700 individual kimberlites were discovered between 1952 and 1974 and this number has greatly increased since the application of modern exploration techniques after the cessation of the civil war in 2002.
• Only 40% of prospective areas have been explored using modern techniques.
• Excellent geological credentials for hosting world-class deposits.
• The best diamond potential is in Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul in the NE.
• Kimberlites occur in clusters that collectively define the Lucapa Trend.
• World-class kimberlite deposits such as the Catoca & Camatchia-Camagico.
• Extensive alluvial deposits – Cretaceous Calonda gravels and Quaternary alluvial deposits.
• The Dala project is situated within the corridor of the Lucapa Trend.
