Bonas Group Antwerp March tenders include Mountain Province, Ekati, Petra, Williamson

Bonas Group’s March tender slate anchors a mid‑Q1 rhythm that threads Dubai and Antwerp: the Bonas calendar shows MPV‑2602, labeled Mountain Province and "ORIGIN: Canada," on Antwerp viewings from 09:00 to 18:00 CET with a listed "Closing: 12 March." At the same time, the Antwerp World Diamond Centre posts a Bonas‑related entry spanning "March 2 - 13, 2026, 09:00 am - 06:00 pm" and records an "Antwerp viewings Closing: 13 March 2026 3pm." That single–lot discrepancy matters; whether buyers have one extra day or a different cut‑off hour changes inspection schedules and bidding strategies for rough that will feed polishing runs across Europe and India.

Mountain Province — MPV‑2602 Bonas’s tender entry for MPV‑2602 is unambiguous about provenance and presentation: the listing carries the Mountain Province logo, lists "ORIGIN: Canada," and classifies the offering as "Rough Diamonds," with Antwerp viewings specified as "09:00 to 18:00 CET" and an explicit "Closing: 12 March." For traders who watch lot codes like a connoisseur watches cut and symmetry, MPV‑2602 is the anchor: lot identifiers allow diamantaires and cutters to match rough characteristics to factory schedules and recovery plans. The Bonas listing gives buyers the clear operational window in CET; the practical complication is that AWDC’s parallel entry records a different closing day and a 15:00 deadline, so logistical plans—from courier timings to grader availability—should be held tentative until the organiser confirms which closing applies to MPV‑2602.

Ekati — AWDC Bonas‑Couzyn listing AWDC’s calendar frames a Bonas presence in Antwerp across March 2–13, listing the company as "Bonas‑Couzyn," "Origin: Ekati, Canada," and the Type as "Rough Diamonds." Its specific line—"When: March 2 - 13, 2026, 09:00 am - 06:00 pm"—and the closing stamp "13 March 2026 3pm." suggest a broader viewing window that may encompass multiple lots. The immediate editorial observation is a naming and origin mismatch: Bonas’s MPV‑2602 entry names Mountain Province while AWDC assigns Ekati as origin for Bonas‑Couzyn. Both statements can be true only if the March calendar contains several distinct lots or if an update changed lot attribution; neither scenario is resolved in the public snippets. For buyers and polishers who price rough to millimeter‑level tolerances, that ambiguity on mine attribution and closing time is material—Ekati and Mountain Province sources yield different size distributions and clarity profiles, which in turn affect cut decisions and expected polished yields.

Petra — Dubai tandem tender at the DDE Separately, Bonas Group’s UAE activity is concrete and detailed: "The Bonas Group, in partnership with Petra Diamonds, will host its upcoming Rough Diamond Tender from 16-21 February at Almas Tower, JLT." The DMCC landing page reproduces the practicalities: viewings run "9:00AM - 6:00PM, 16 - 21 February 2026" on the DDE Trading Floor, Level 2, Almas Tower, and the format is notable—"The tender will comprise two separate, side-by-side viewings and bidding processes for goods from the Cullinan Diamond Mine and the Finsch Diamond Mine." That explicit split matters because Cullinan and Finsch productions present different assortments: Cullinan goods often include large, high‑value white stones and specific protected parcels, while Finsch tends to supply mid‑to‑large goods with predictable size curves. The Dubai page also supplies direct booking contact—"To book your appointment, contact: mary@bonasgroup.com"—and phone numbers (+971 4 4310 036 | +971 50 9479148), underscoring that Bonas is staging a sequenced cross‑hub offering: Petra‑sourced diamonds shown in Dubai in February, and Bonas‑branded lots moving through Antwerp viewings in March.

Williamson — a name in the ledger, not yet in the details Williamson appears in the aggregated live calendar line alongside Mountain Province, Ekati and Petra, but the supplied excerpts provide no further lot codes, dates or origin metadata for that supplier. The original fragment lists suppliers including "Mountain Province, Ekati, Petra, Williamson and others," yet the public calendar fragments only yield concrete lines for MPV‑2602, the AWDC Bonas‑Couzyn entry, and the Petra partnership in Dubai. That silence about Williamson is meaningful in itself: it signals either that Williamson lots are present elsewhere in Bonas’s full calendar or that they are scheduled but not publicly detailed in the same snippets. For market participants, the presence of the name suggests a potential additional supply stream—Williamson is a historic African source whose parcels can alter assortments and pricing dynamics—but until Bonas publishes lot codes, origins and closing times, Williamson’s role in March remains an item to watch rather than a confirmed variable.

Conclusion What ties these four sections together is supply‑chain choreography: Bonas Group’s March Antwerp listings (notably MPV‑2602), the AWDC posting that frames a March 2–13 window, and the Bonas–Petra Dubai tender in February collectively map a cross‑market flow of rough into two trading hubs. The practical takeaway for cutters, diamantaires and private collectors following supply is straightforward—verify lot codes, mine attribution and the precise closing timestamp before committing resources—because the difference between "Closing: 12 March" and "13 March 2026 3pm." is not merely administrative; it changes inspection schedules, bidding timelines and the sequence in which rough arrives on polishing benches. As the trading floor calendar converges, Antwerp’s CET timings and Dubai’s Almas Tower schedule together sketch the early‑2026 cadence of rough distribution; resolving the remaining attribution and calendar discrepancies will define how that cadence translates into polished supply through the spring.
