KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 11, 2021 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSXV:DMI)(OTCQB:DMIFF), ("Diamcor" or, the "Company") today announced the final results of the Company's second tender and sale of rough diamonds recovered from the processing of quarry material since resuming operations as announced on January 25, 2021. These results again demonstrate the potential for increased average dollar per carat values from the operational and processing refinements made by the Company.
The Company's second tender and sale of rough diamonds held in Dubai UEA was completed during the first week of February 2021.
Highlights:
- A total of 2,028.33 carats of rough diamonds recovered from the processing of quarry material were tendered and sold, generating gross revenues of USD
$606,415 , resulting in an average price of USD$298.97 per carat.
- The tender and sale include two rough diamonds in the specials (+10.7 carats) category:
- One 10.70 carat gem quality diamond typical of historical specials recovered
- One 14.16 carat gem quality diamond of exceptional quality
- The size and quantity of special rough diamonds in this sale and tender are not seen as uncommon for the Project and are consistent with size frequency distribution expectations when processing quarry material.
- The average dollar per carat achieved for the balance of the rough diamonds tendered and sold, excluding the noted exceptional 14.16 carat diamond, was USD
$233.71 per carat.
- Overall demand and pricing in a majority of the rough diamond assortments tendered and sold by the Company in February continued to trend upwards.
"We are very pleased with the results of this tender and sale of rough diamonds", stated Mr. Dean Taylor, Diamcor CEO. "The higher average dollar per carat achieved reflects improved recoveries throughout the entire size frequency distribution and provides further confirmation of both the potential and quality of the Project's deposits, and the effectiveness of the refinements made by our new operational team."
The Company's efforts to further increase processing volumes starting in February 2021 as previously noted on January 25, 2021 is now underway. Planned operational refinements to achieve this goal were completed on time and are being commissioned over the coming weeks. Once these commissioning efforts are completed, the Company will provide a further update.

About Krone-Endora at Venetia
In February 2011, Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, consisting of the prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, which represent a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beers' flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. On September 11, 2014, the Company announced that the South African Department of Mineral Resources had granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project encompassing 657.71 hectares of the Project's total area of 5,888 hectares. The Company has also submitted an application for a mining right over the remaining areas of the Project. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a higher-grade "Alluvial" basal deposit which is covered by a lower-grade upper "Eluvial" deposit. The deposits are proposed to be the result of the direct-shift (in respect to the "Eluvial" deposit) and erosion (in respect to the "Alluvial" deposit) of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur in two layers with a maximum total depth of approximately 15.0 metres from surface to bedrock, allowing for a very low-cost mining operation to be employed with the potential for near-term diamond production from a known high-quality source. Krone-Endora also benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place due to its location directly adjacent to the Venetia Mine.
