KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2021 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSXV:DMI), (OTCQB:DMIFF), (FRA:DC3A), ("Diamcor" or, the "Company") announced today the delivery of 2,521.17 carats of rough diamonds for the Company's first tender and sale of its current quarter ending December 31, 2021. The total carats delivered for this initial tender are in line with Company expectations, and the first since the Company's recent completion of the phase one upgrade objectives at the Company's Krone Endora at Venetia Project (the "Project"). Further refinements, as well as efforts on a larger phase two upgrade, will continue throughout the quarter. The Company remains confident the full potential of these upgrades will be realized and operating costs on a per ton basis will continue to improve due to reductions in plant consumables and increases in operational efficiencies at the Project. The Company expects to complete two additional tenders prior to the end of the current quarter and provide updates on the results in due course over the coming weeks.
LD MICRO - Main Event Conference
The Company also announces that it will be participating in the LD Micro Main Event conference from October 12 - 14th at the Luxe Sunset Bel Air in Los Angeles, CA. The LD Micro Main Event has become the preeminent convention for the most influential people, analysts, and investors in the small-cap world. Diamcor President and CEO, Dean Taylor, will be presenting on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, and hosting one-on-one meetings throughout the conference. Interested parties not attending the conference in person can visit the LD Micro website at ldmicro.com to register and listen to company presentations virtually.
"We look forward to the return of the live, in person LD Micro Main Event Conference after a two year delay associated with COVID-19", stated Mr. Dean Taylor, Diamcor CEO. "The timing of this event provides us with a perfect opportunity to meet with various Company stakeholders and industry participants and discuss the growth objectives underway, our efforts to increase processing volumes, recoveries, and revenues, as well as our plans for exploration efforts on the larger areas of the Project in 2022".

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.
