Overview

Diamcor Mining Inc. (CVE:DMI) is a junior diamond mining company focused on the identification, acquisition, and operation of quality projects with the potential for near-term production. Diamcor recently acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from DeBeers, directly adjacent to DeBeers' flagship Venetia Diamond Mine, the third largest diamond mine in the world. In March, Diamcor entered a long-term strategic alliance with the luxury retailer Tiffany & Co., closing a 5.5 Million financing to expedite the advancement of Krone-Endora to production, and an agreement allowing them to purchase up to 100% of all future production at fair market prices.

The current NI 43-101 Technical Report, performed in 2009 on areas where DeBeers had preformed initial work, reported 54M tonnes/1.3 M carats. Diamcor believes that there is potential to substantially increase the Inferred resource, as areas of high interest are drilled. In May 2011 a planned drill programme and bulk sampling began. An updated NI 43-101 report has been targeted for Q4, 2011.

Investment Highlights:

• Milestone acquisition from DeBerrs now complete
• Long term strategic alliance with Tiffany&C0.
• Production focused diamond mining company

Chief Projects

Krone - Endora at Venetia - South Africa

^[1]

In February 2011, Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers through its majority-owned subsidiary, DMI Minerals. Krone-Endora is located in the Limpopo province of the Republic of South Africa, approximately 500 km north-northeast of Johannesburg. The Venetia mine is the third largest diamond mine in the world, and South Africa's largest producer of diamonds, accounting for over 50% of South Africa's annual output.

The project consists of prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, covering a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to the Venetia Min and benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place at Venetia.

De Beers completed extensive exploration work on initial areas of the Krone-Endora over a period of several years. These included a large diameter drilling program, a more comprehensive large diameter auger program, and a bulk sampling program. Deposits were identified as rare, high-grade lower eluvial basal deposit which is covered by a lower grade upper alluvial deposit, proposed to be the result of the direct shift and erosion of an estimated combined 1 km of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas.

A 5.5 million financing closed in March 2011 with Tiffany & Co., has allowed Diamcor to advance and deploy the necessary infrastructure to begin the mining and production of rough diamonds from Krone-Endora.

In April 2011, Diamcor began deploying heavy equipment to the property shortly after closing the acquisition. Approximately 400 potential targets were identified. In May 2011, the Company announced that the recommended drilling programme had begun.  As of June 13 the first 200 of +/-200 targets included in the initial drilling phase have now been drilled. The Company is now moving on to phases 2 and 3 of the drilling program and initiating bulk sampling.

Initial bulk sampling work is aimed at recovering +/- 2000 carats to support an updated NI 43-101 report. The completion of the initial planned drilling, and bulk sampling will result in the filing of an updated NI 43101-Technical Report, scheduled to be reported in Q4, 2011. The current NI 43-101 Technical Report, circa 2009, was based solely on the areas of the project on which De Beers had previously performed initial work.

Trial mining focused on known high-grade areas with staged production increases has been planned for Q4-2011, followed by further drilling and bulk sampling in 2012, which will be used to establish long-term production targets.

So Ver Mine - Kimberly, South Africa

^[4]

The Company has a long established operational history of processing Kimberlite tailings at its So Ver Mine facility near Kimberley South Africa. The operations at So Ver processed Kimberlite material extracted from a number of subsurface fissure mines along approximately 3 km of strike length, known collectively as the Ardo Dyke System. These mines have been active over 45 years, and various mining groups continue feasibility studies to operate the underground Ardo mine adjacent to the So Ver property.

So Ver's Tailings Retreatment facility produced between 1,500 and 2,000 carats of mostly gem-quality diamonds on a monthly basis in the 7 years Diamcor has been active in South Africa. In addition to the tailings operations at So Ver, Diamcor performed various Kimberlite exploration programs on other areas of interest on the property including the Doornkloof West dyke, approximately 500 meters to the west of the Ardo Dyke.

With the successful completion of the Company's work at So Ver, Diamcor began to identify projects that demonstrated potential for near-term production with suitable resources for sustained long-term production.

Diamcor's wholly-owned subsidiary, DMI Diamonds South Africa Ltd. acquired an option to secure a 24% interest in the privately held South African company, Nerikets Properties Ltd. DMI Diamonds also secured an exclusive option to acquire the remaining 76% interest in Nerikets, which held the Prospecting Rights Permit for diamond exploration over a 3,606.44 hectare area of the Farm Hardcastle 366, located on the north bank of the Middle Orange River.
