Diamcor Mining Inc. has installed a deposit specific crushing circuit, along with Tomra XRT diamond recovery technology, to process material in the +26.0mm size fractions at its Krone-Endora at Venetia project in South Africa. The Tomra system was chosen based on its demonstrated operational benefits and the exceptional results.

The Tomra XRT diamond recovery technology provides the added benefit of being a “dry system”, and thus does not require water like many other X-ray final recovery systems. The Company believes this technology may ultimately enhance overall processing capacities, increase efficiencies, and is the optimum solution for the effective treatment of the oversize material at the project.

As previously announced, the vast majority of the rough diamonds recovered and sold to date at the Project have been a result of the processing of material in the +1.0mm to -26.0mm size fractions. The deployment of this new technology is aimed at allowing the company to efficiently and effectively process material from the estimated +/-600,000 tons of +26.0mm material stockpiled at the project.

Through this technology, the company expects to achieve the effective liberation of oversized materials, while reducing the potential breakage of larger diamonds through a selective crushing system.
