Diamcor Mining (DMI-V) hires Liolios Group for IR
May 6th, 2013 - News Release
Diamcor Mining Inc. has engaged the Liolios Group Inc. to lead a new investor relations and financial communications program. "Over the past 24 months, we have successfully completed the extensive infrastructure and capital upgrades for our planned transition to full-scale production of quality rough diamonds at our Krone-Endora at Venetia project which is located directly adjacent to De Beers' flagship Venetia diamond mine in South Africa," said Dean Taylor, president and CEO of Diamcor. "We have also established a strategic alliance with Tiffany & Co., a name synonymous with the highest quality of diamonds and jewelry, and who operates more than 275 stores and boutiques around the world."
"With our first sale of diamonds completed at the end of 2012, we've demonstrated that Diamcor is one of the very few companies in the world with the potential for near-term sustained production of quality rough diamonds," continued Taylor. "Given this progress, and in conjunction with our planned transition to 24/7 operations, we've arrived at an important inflection point in our development where we believe our shareholders would benefit from an experienced team of investor relations professionals to help us communicate our story to the financial community."
Liolios Group brings to Diamcor a proven track record of helping companies build shareholder value by delivering the right message to the right audience and establishing high quality, long-term relationships in the investment community. They will work closely with Diamcor's management to refine and deliver the Company's message, and assist the Company in scheduling road shows and financial conferences over the next several months.
