DIAMCOR ELIMINATES DISRUPTIONS TO PROCESSING VOLUMES AND RECOVERIES CAUSED BY ESKOM POWER OUTAGES

Diamcor Mining Inc. has completed the reconfiguration of its existing generator systems at its Krone-Endora at Venetia diamond mine project. These efforts are aimed at addressing the negative impacts to processing volumes and diamond recoveries, along with associated revenues, experienced in recent months due to increased power outages or load shedding in South Africa. With these initiatives now complete, the company has the ability to process material moving forward as required without dependence on the Eskom supplied power grid.

"The increased frequency and uncertainty of power supply at the project was significantly limiting our ability to process material and generate diamond recoveries and associated revenues in recent months and required a solution to eliminate these issues moving forward," stated Dean H. Taylor, chief executive officer of Diamcor. "Overcoming these issues is a significant milestone which allows us to now aggressively resume advancing our ongoing trial mining efforts, processing volumes and the bulk-sampling efforts on the greater areas of the project," added Mr. Taylor.

The existing generator systems were originally installed to address short-term power outages; however, given the increased frequency of daily power outages experienced over the past few quarters, addressing this issue became a key priority for the company. In addition to the reconfiguration of the existing power systems, refinements to the project's screening and processing facilities are also expected to further reduce power requirements and lower operating costs for the long term.

About Diamcor Mining Inc.

Diamcor Mining is a fully reporting publicly traded Canadian diamond mining company with a well-established proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds. The company's primary focus is on the mining and development of its Krone-Endora at Venetia project, which is co-located and directly adjacent to De Beers's Venetia diamond mine in South Africa. The Venetia diamond mine is recognized as one of the world's top diamond-producing mines, and the deposits that occur on Krone-Endora have been identified as being the result of shift and subsequent erosion of an estimated 50 million tonnes of material from the higher grounds of Venetia to the lower surrounding areas in the direction of Krone and Endora. The company focuses on the acquisition and development of mid-tier projects with near-term production capabilities and growth potential and uses unique approaches to mining that involves the use of advanced technology and techniques to extract diamonds in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible manner. The company has a strong commitment to social responsibility, including supporting local communities and protecting the environment.

About the Tiffany & Co. alliance

The company has established a long-term strategic alliance and first right of refusal with Tiffany & Co. Canada, a subsidiary of world-famous New York based Tiffany & Co., to purchase up to 100 per cent of the future production of rough diamonds from the Krone-Endora at Venetia project at market prices. In conjunction with this first right of refusal, Tiffany & Co. Canada also provided the company with financing in an effort to advance the project as quickly as possible. Tiffany & Co. is now owned by Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (LVMH), a publicly traded company that is listed on the Paris Stock Exchange (Euronext) under the symbol LVMH and on the OTC under the symbol LVMHF.

About the Krone-Endora at Venetia project

Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd., 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's flagship Venetia diamond mine in South Africa. The company subsequently 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 that is covered by a lower-grade upper eluvial deposit. These 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 1,000 vertical metres of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur 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, which is widely recognized as one of the top-producing diamond mines in the world.
