Afri-Can Marine Minerals Corporation says that the sampling vessel DP the Explorer will return to the Namibian port of Luderitz on Friday, and that Afri-Can and International Mining and Dredging Holding Ltd (IMDH) have agreed to start the sampling program on the Block J diamond project on April 24th, 2010.

The moves comes after the changing of a cable that transmits power and communicates operational instructions to the sampling tool.
