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.
