Diamcor Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2021 Results

Announces Balance Sheet Improvements and Increased Sales

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2022 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSX-V.DMI), (OTCQB:DMIFF), (FRA:DC3A), ("Diamcor" or, the "Company") today reported its quarterly financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Highlights

  1. Tender and sale of 5,441.88 carats of rough diamonds during the period, an increase of 25% over the previous quarter in 2021, generating revenue of (USD) $1,074,748, resulting in an average price of (USD) $197.50 per carat.
  2. Debt was reduced by (CAD) $3,100,353 during the period.
  3. Focus continued during the period on maintaining reduced costs, and efforts aimed at increasing operational hours and processing volume capabilities for the long-term.
  4. The Company completed the first phase of its planned expansions ahead of schedule during the period, and by the end of the period had shifted its focus to the advancement of the second phase, which remains on track to be completed by June 30, 2022.
  5. Careful management of operational salary and wages expenses, as well as variable operational costs and historical fixed costs, continued throughout the period given the continued restrictions associated with COVID-19.
  6. A net loss of $939,916 was recorded for the interim period ended December 31, 2021, a ~34% improvement over Q3 2020.
  7. The Company had 114,661,800 common shares issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2021.

"We are very pleased to announce the improvements to our balance sheet made in the quarter, and we remain optimistic that the expansion efforts both completed and underway will allow our Company to be well-positioned at a time when rough diamond supplies continue to be constrained" stated Mr. Dean Taylor, Diamcor CEO. "Recent tenders and sales have shown strong demand and price increases in various categories, and we believe this trend has the potential to continue in the coming months as considerable quantities normally supplied by Russia may be impacted due to recently announced economic sanctions".

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.
