11.07.2013  |  CNW

TSX.V Symbol (DMI)

KELOWNA, BC, July 11, 2013 /CNW/ - Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSX-V.DMI), (the "Company") an emerging producer of rough diamonds, has recovered two additional "special" diamonds in the +10.8 carat category from its Krone-Endora at Venetia Project (the "Project").  The recovery of the two diamonds, a 15.16 carat and a 13.38 carat, occurred during initial tests performed on the processing of previously stockpiled material in the +12.0mm to -28.0mm size fraction through the expanded quarrying and in-field screening operations at the Project.

"The recovery of additional diamonds of this size confirm the ability of the Project to produce large diamonds, and the potential positive impact the processing of larger size fractions can provide going forward", commented Mr. Dean Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Diamcor. "We will continue our testing and commissioning efforts on both the expanded quarrying and in-field screening operations, as well as the main processing plant, with the goal being the efficient processing of all size fractions in the long-term", Mr. Taylor added.

Revised / Lower Finder's Fees

The Company also wishes to revise the information previously provided on the finder's fee compensation in its news release of June 17, 2013, with respect to the closing of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering").  It was originally announced that the Company would pay total finder's fees of $30,682.40 in cash on an aggregate of $438,320 invested under the Offering, and would issue an aggregate of 24,546 broker warrants exercisable to purchase up to 24,546 common shares ("Shares") of the Company at a price of $1.75 per Share until June 17, 2016.  The finder's fee amounts have been revised and lowered, with a total finder's fee amount of $28,932.40 in cash payable on an aggregate of $413,320 invested, and an aggregate of 23,146 broker warrants exercisable to purchase up to 23,146 Shares of the Company at a price of $1.75 per Share until June 17, 2016.  The total gross proceeds of the private placement remains at $1,984,730.

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. De Beers previously completed various exploration efforts on initial areas of interest comprised of approximately 307 hectares, a summary of which was reported in an initial Independent NI 43-101 Technical Report filed by the Company on July 30, 2009. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a rare, 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 an estimated combined 1,000 m (1 km) of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur in two layers with an average total depth of less than 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.  Since acquiring Krone-Endora the Company has completed the construction and installation of extensive infrastructure at the Project, along with the installation of a purpose built modular processing plant, and extensive quarrying and in-field screening operations.  Commissioning of the processing plant is now complete, and the Company's current efforts are designed to be a continuation of the ongoing advancement of the Project, and as part of the Company's final preparations in anticipation of a planned move to 24/7 operations in the near future.
