2 Large Diamonds Unearthed at South African Mine

Diamcor Mining Inc. said it has recovered two additional "special" diamonds in the +10.8 carat category from its Krone-Endora at Venetia Project. The finds, a 15.16-carat diamond and a 13.38-carat stone, occurred during initial tests performed on the processing of previously stockpiled material at the site.

"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," said 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," he added. 

Diamcor, a publically traded junior diamond company, focuses on the identification, acquisition, and operation of diamond projects with near-term production potential, such as the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project in South Africa.
