TSX-V-listed Diamcor Mining, which owns and operates the Krone-Endora at Venetia diamond mine, in South Africa's Limpopo province, has acquired additional heavy equipment for use at the mine.
The company, which last week reported progress in the reconfiguration of generator systems to keep the mine operating during frequent power outages in South Africa, has added a new large excavator to its fleet, which it expects will contribute to higher processing volume capacities, diamond recoveries and associated revenues.
“We are very pleased to have completed the final payments on our existing heavy equipment. The addition of another large excavator provides our company with redundancy and added capacity as we begin efforts on the previously announced bulk sampling efforts over the greater areas of the project," Diamcor CEO Dean Taylor says.
