Afri-Can Marine Minerals Corporation ("Afri-Can") (TSX VENTURE:AFA) completed
its geophysical survey on Exclusive Prospecting Licence ("EPL") 3403 marine
diamond concession in Namibia on May 14th, 2012.


The geophysical survey has covered 1,251 line-kilometres over an area of 90
square kilometres in the south end of EPL 3403. The survey has included
Depositional Areas 1, 2 and 3 already delineated by previous sampling programs
(see attached Maps 1 and 2: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/afri0517.pdf). 


The survey data were consistently of very high resolution and quality and will
enable Afri-Can to develop cross-section maps and three-dimensional models of
the Depositional Areas. The geology, morphology and stratigraphy of the south
end of EPL 3403 will be analysed in preparation for the second sampling phase.
The goal of the geophysical survey and second sampling phase is to start
delineating resources on Depositional Areas 1 and 2 in anticipation of trial
mining.


Interpretation and analysis of the geophysical survey data are expected to take
about one month, and results will be disclosed when available. 


Mr. Leonard Gardner (SACNASP) is responsible for the technical part of this
press release and is the designated Qualified Person under the terms of National
Instrument 43-101.


EPL 3403 covers approximately 800 square kilometres and is adjacent to and
contiguous with Atlantic One Mining Lease ("ML") 47 (owned by Namdeb Diamond
Corporation (Pty) Limited, a 50:50 partnership between the Government of the
Republic of Namibia and De Beers Centenary AG), which is the largest marine
diamond deposit in the world. ML 47 currently produces in excess of 1,100,000
carats per year.
