KELOWNA, BC, June 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Diamcor Mining Inc.
(TSX-V.DMI / OTCQB-DMIFF), (the "Company") announces it has sourced
vendor financing for a portion of the equipment being installed at
the Company's Krone-Endora at Venetia Project, and thus has elected
to reduce the size of the previously announced non-brokered private
placement of up to CND$5,000,000 to CND$3,500,000 and has revised
the unit price of the Offering from CND$0.40 to $0.35 per unit (the "Revised Offering').
The majority of participants subscribing to the Revised Offering
consist of existing Shareholders, including 37,500 units subscribed
for by a company controlled by a director of the Company, and the
Company has closed a First Tranche resulting in the issuance of a
total of 5,715,950 units at a price of CND$0.35 per unit for gross
proceeds of CDN$2,000,582.50.
Each Unit consists of one common share (a "Share") of the Company,
and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a
"Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder
thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.60 until June
20, 2021. All Securities issued under the offering are
subject to a four month hold period expiring on October 21, 2018.
The Company further announces that, as part of the Revised
Offering, the Company has paid to one finder an aggregate cash
commission of CDN$1814.40,
representing 6% of the gross proceeds received from subscribers
introduced to the Company by such finders, and has issued an
aggregate of 5,184 non-transferable warrants to such finder (the
"Finder's Warrants"), representing 6% of the number of Units sold
to subscribers introduced to the Company by such finder. Each
Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share of the
Company at an exercise price of CDN$0.60 until June
20, 2021. The Finder's Warrants will also be subject
to a hold period ending on October 21,
2018.
The Company has received additional subscription interest for
the balance of the Revised Offering from various parties and
anticipates closing the remaining balance of the Revised Offering
in a Second and Final Tranche in the short-term, subject to the
receipt and finalization of subscription documentation from various
parties by the Company. The proceeds from the First Tranche
of the Revised Offering will allow the Company to proceed without
further delay in finalizing its initial efforts to address the
insufficient recoveries of water from the Project's settling dams
through the installation of additional screening equipment, which
will be followed by the incorporation of paste thickening
technology to support increased processing volumes at the Project
for the long-term.
The planned Second and Final closing of the balance of the
Revised Offering is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange along with completion of all definitive documentation and
filings as required. Additional securities issued pursuant to
the Revised Offering will be subject to a hold period of four
months plus one day following the date of their issuance.
The securities sold in the Revised Offering have not been
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent
registration under such Act or an applicable exemption from such

constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
securities in the United States or
any other jurisdiction nor shall there be any sale of these
securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

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.
