- Diamcor Mining Inc. is a Canadian publicly traded diamond mining company focused on the identification, acquisition, exploration, development, and production of diamond resource properties. The company’s flagship asset is the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project in South Africa, co-located with De Beers' flagship Venetia diamond mine. Diamcor operates through its subsidiaries, including DMI Minerals South Africa (Pty) Ltd. and DMI Diamonds South Africa (Pty) Ltd., which manage its South African mining operations. The company’s product portfolio primarily consists of rough diamonds, which it supplies to global markets including a strategic alliance with luxury retailer Tiffany & Co., which has a first right of refusal on future production from the Krone-Endora project. Diamcor focuses on low-cost, surface and near-surface mining operations facilitated by extensive infrastructure investments including processing plants, water pipelines, power supply lines, and heavy equipment.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, Diamcor has a well-established history in the diamond mining industry, with expertise in supplying rough diamonds worldwide. Recent major developments include the acquisition of prospecting and mining rights for the Krone-Endora at Venetia project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited. The company is in the final stages of developing this project, which has demonstrated potential for near-term diamond production with over 201,000 carats recovered during trial mining, generating revenues exceeding USD 38.7 million. Significant operational upgrades in processing capacity and infrastructure have been completed to support long-term, low-cost diamond production at the site.
In the last 1-2 years, Diamcor has formalized a long-term strategic alliance and $5.5 million financing agreement with Tiffany & Co. to accelerate project development and secure a stable off-take channel. The company also secured a $5 million term loan with a Dubai-based company to strengthen its financial position. Recent operational advancements focus on expanding processing volumes and project area exploration via drilling and bulk sampling, aiming to increase diamond production capacity by up to 75%. Additionally, the company has adapted to labor and logistical challenges while continuing infrastructure development, including independent power supplies, worker housing, and mining equipment acquisition, positioning it for growth and operational scaling.
Diamcor Mining serves the diamond mining and exploration industry with a focus on near-term production opportunities from unique deposits, targeting luxury markets through its strategic partnership with Tiffany & Co. It operates primarily in South Africa and Canada. The company aims to maintain sustainable rough diamond production while minimizing shareholder dilution. The management team brings extensive experience in mining and exploration, focusing on expanding resource inventory and advancing project development to enhance shareholder value.
