<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe Adamastor, equipped with state-of-the-art marine mining technology, will operate at depths of 90 to 150 meters, utilising remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and hydraulic systems for efficient diamond extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vessel\u2019s on-board processing facilities, dynamic positioning system,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and self-sufficiency capabilities make it well-suited for deep-sea mining operations,\u201d reads the statement issued by Paragon Investment Holdings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It continued that the investment aligns with Kenzoll Capital\u2019s strategy of targeting frontier markets, complementing its existing interests in gold mining in Zimbabwe and oil exploration in Egypt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite challenges in the global diamond market, Namibia\u2019s stable political environment and its reputation for producing high-quality gem diamonds offer promising opportunities,\u201d the statement reads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Adamastor is expected to arrive in Namibian waters next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement added that LK Mining representatives Lazarus Jacobs (Paragon Investments) and Tjeripo Hijarunguru (Epia Investments), expressed optimism about the Hottentots Bay concession, highlighting the area\u2019s high diamond recovery rates, and the potential positive impact on local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe expected yield of 0.2 to 0.4 carats per cubic meter underscores the region\u2019s rich diamond deposits and favourable marine conditions for preservation,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
