History: Namdeb’s rich history goes as far back as 1920 when diamond-mining companies along the Orange River were amalgamated to form Consolidated Diamond Mines (CDM). In 1994 CDM entered into a new partnership with the Namibian Government and Namdeb was formed. In 2011, Namdeb’s ownership structure changed when the Government of the Republic of Namibia and De Beers signed a new structure agreement, which rearranged and equalised the shareholding structure of both Namdeb and Debmarine Namibia.
