Alrosa was offered to participate in Canadian geological land surveys and the development of Canadian diamond deposits.
According to a report in the Russian AK&M, the surprising Canadian proposal was made by the Canadian Deputy Natural Resource Minister Harry Nashem to Alrosa’s President Vladimir Kalitin during a visit of an Alrosa delegation in Canada.
A delegation of top Alrosa management, headed by Alrosa president Vladimir Kalitin, visited Canada in January seeking areas of cooperation.
During the visit the group met with some of Canada’s diamond mining enterprises such as miners BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and De Beers.
