Goldshore Intersects 20.55m of 2.58 g/t Au Down Dip on the Southwest Zone: Extends Mineralization 150 Meters Below the Conceptual Open Pit Resource

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 20, 2025) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce its latest assay results from its ongoing 15,000 meter drill program at the Moss Gold Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the “Moss Gold Project“). The primary goals of the winter drill program are to add to the current resource model by extending mineralization from depth into the top 100-200 meters from surface within the conceptual open pit and to demonstrate the potential for resource growth outside of the current mineral resource estimate.

Michael Henrichsen, CEO of Goldshore, commented, “We are pleased with the latest batch of drill results which clearly demonstrate the potential for resource expansion at higher grades in the southwest area of the Moss deposit. These results are exactly what we were anticipating to drive growth and demonstrate the true potential of the deposit moving forward. We look forward to sharing additional results from the winter drill program and regional exploration program in the coming weeks and months.”

Highlights

  • Results from hole MMD-24-139 extended gold mineralization with increased grades 150 meters below the conceptual open pit resource at the southwest end of the Moss deposit with intercepts of:
  • Hole MMD-24-139 also confirmed mineralized shears on the southeast flank of the Southwest Zone extending known mineralization toward surface and encountering new mineralized shear zones with intercepts of:
  • Holes MMD-24-135, MMD-24-138, and MMD-24-139 also extended numerous mineralized shears toward surface in the Southwest Zone with intercepts of:

Drilling at the Southwest Zone aims to add to the mineral resource by infilling gaps within the current model created by sparse drilling. Drilling at shallow depths of 100-200 meters will allow for mineralized shear zones to be extended to the surface. Drilling at depths of 200 to 400 meters will allow the expansion of the open pit resource to a similar depth as the Main-QES pit (~500 meters).

Hole MMD-24-135 and MMD-24-138 were drilled along the western and eastern edges respectively of Snodgrass Lake to test the up-dip potential of lower grade shear zones concentrated close to the contact between the diorite intrusion complex and intermediate volcanic rocks that do not currently reach the surface in the current mineral resource estimate. Hole MMD-24-139 was drilled from south of Snodgrass Lake to target the up-dip potential of marginal shears and the deeper extension of core shears below the conceptual open pit.

Hole MMD-24-135 collared into the edge of the high-grade mineralization and sheared altered granodiorite intrusion yielding grade intercepts such as 5.95m of 1.12 g/t Au from 6.5m depth. The hole quickly transitions into the wide multi-stage silica-sericite and epidote-chlorite altered diorite intrusion package, as is typical of the peripheral areas of the Southwest Zone, yielding broad lower grade intercepts such as 20.0m of 0.89 g/t Au from 81.0m, including 3.85m of 2.86 g/t Au from 87.0m, and 26.0m of 0.61 g/t Au from 107.0m, including 5.7m of 1.17 g/t Au from 107.0m.

Hole MMD-24-138 encountered a varying sequence of andesitic and dacitic volcanic rocks with a swarm of narrow sericite-silica-hematite to epidote-chlorite altered diorite dykes. Local shearing of the volcanics and diorites concentrates mineralization yielding intercepts such as 20.8m of 0.76 g/t Au from 108.8m, including 2.05m of 3.33 g/t Au from 123.3m. The hole was terminated, as the remaining volume had been previously drilled from the southwestern side of the lake.

Drill hole MMD-24-139 intersected 10 to 20 meter-spaced mineralized sericite-silica-hematite altered sheared granodiorite dykes close to surface before entering the main diorite intrusion complex at 245.2m, which was drilled for the remainder of the hole. The diorite complex consisted of interchanging epidote-chlorite and sericite-silica-hematite alteration with varying shear intensity including a mylonitized zone along the contact of a chloritized gabbro and a sericite-silica-hematite altered granodiorite with 2-3% pyrite±chalcopyrite±molybdenite (Figure 3). Results highlight the potential of expanding the high-grade mineralization beyond that defined within the conceptual open pit with the 20.55m of 2.58 g/t Au from 458.15m, including 14.7m of 3.52 g/t Au. These intercepts occur 150 meters beneath the open pit constrained mineral resource. These results are top cut at 30 g/t Au, which only impacted a 1.0m veined shear assaying 36.1 g/t Au.

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures

All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry in Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analysed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish (“Au-AA23”) and 48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion (“ME-MS61”). Samples that assayed over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish (“Au-GRA21”).

In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) protocols, Goldshore has implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are received, imported to our secure on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sample preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-going analytical quality control program are evaluated and reported to Goldshore by Orix Geoscience Inc.

Lion One Drills 198.84 g/t Gold over 1.4 m in Near-Mine Exploration at Tuvatu Gold Mine in Fiji

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 19, 2025) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (“Lion One” or the “Company“) is pleased to report significant new high-grade gold results from 3,312.5 meters of near mine exploration and infill drilling at its 100% owned Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project in Fiji. The drilling is focused on the West Zone target west of the Tuvatu Gold Mine.

The West Zone is located approximately 300 m to the west of the main Tuvatu deposit, in close proximity to existing mine infrastructure. Drilling was conducted from two surface drill pads and consisted of resource infill and expansion drilling with the purpose of bringing the West Zone into the long term mine plan for Tuvatu. High-grade mineralized structures were intersected in 14 drill holes. Drill results include multiple bonanza grade gold assays such as 896.00 g/t, 306.78 g/t, 264.55 g/t, and 178.55 g/t gold over narrow widths of 0.3 m. All high-grade gold results were intersected between 30 m and 150 m depth from surface. The West Zone is hypothesized to have a separate feeder system from Tuvatu and represents a prime target for near-mine resource expansion at Tuvatu. Bonanza grade gold results are not uncommon at the West Zone, with previous drill results including 105.20 g/t over 2.1 m and 102.38 g/t over 1.2 m (see news release dated October 1, 2024). The West Zone drill program is ongoing.

Lion One Chairman and CEO Walter Berukoff commented: “We’re very pleased with the new results from our West Zone drill program. The West Zone is an excellent near mine expansion target. It is readily accessible from existing infrastructure and it consistently returns high grade results from near surface drilling. We look forward to adding the West Zone to our long-term mine plan at Tuvatu.”

Highlights of New Drill Results:

  • 198.84 g/t Au over 1.4 m (including 896.00 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TUDDH-764, from 34.17 m depth)
  • 61.24 g/t Au over 2.0 m (including 264.55 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TUDDH-773, from 200 m depth)
  • 306.78 g/t Au over 0.3 m (TUDDH-773, from 213 m depth)
  • 35.79 g/t Au over 1.7 m (including 178.55 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TUDDH-773, from 182 m depth)
  • 6.68 g/t Au over 4.4 m (TUDDH-758, from 102.81 m depth)
  • 31.00 g/t Au over 1.0 m (including 67.00 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TUDDH-758, from 75.5 m depth)
  • 13.76 g/t Au over 1.9 m (including 29.28 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TUDDH-763, from 86.2 m depth)
  • 15.17 g/t Au over 1.5 m (including 27.99 g/t Au over 0.4 m) (TUDDH-762, from 75.55 m depth)
  • 23.60 g/t Au over 0.9 m (TUDDH-774, from 48 m depth)
  • 61.58 g/t Au over 0.3 m (TUDDH-759, from 62.6 m depth)

*Drill intersects are downhole lengths, 3.0 g/t cutoff. True width not known. See Table 1 for additional data.

West Zone

The West Zone is located approximately 300 m to the west of the main Tuvatu deposit. It is modelled as a series of mainly east-west oriented lodes dipping steeply to the south. High grade gold has been sampled at surface in the West Zone and the area is coincident with a steeply dipping CSAMT gradient. Given the steeply dipping nature of the mineralized lodes both at Tuvatu and at the West Zone, and given the horizontal distance between the two systems, it is unlikely that they are fed by the same feeder zone. It is therefore hypothesized that there is a separate feeder zone located at depth below the West Zone, which would be distinct from the very high-grade Zone 500 feeder zone at Tuvatu.

The drilling reported here is focused on the near-surface portion of the West Zone system and consists predominantly of infill drilling in areas of low drill density. The purpose of the program is to increase understanding of the near-surface structure and mineralization of the West Zone. The objective is to bring the West Zone into the long-term mine plan at Tuvatu, and the current drill program will help inform that process. Given the proximity of the West Zone to existing surface infrastructure, a second portal may be opened to provide direct underground access to the West Zone. Alternatively, an underground access drive could be developed from Tuvatu. The high-grade results reported here not only serve to further define the resource, but also to help determine which development option is preferred.

Lion One adheres to rigorous QAQC procedures above and beyond basic regulatory guidelines in conducting its drilling, sampling, testing, and analyses. The Company operates its own geochemical assay laboratory and its own fleet of diamond drill rigs using PQ, HQ and NQ sized drill rods.

Diamond drill core samples are logged by Lion One personnel on site. Exploration diamond drill core is split by Lion One personnel on site, with half core samples sent for analysis and the other half core remaining on site. Grade control diamond drill core is whole core assayed. Core samples are delivered to the Lion One Laboratory for preparation and analysis. All samples are pulverized at the Lion One lab to 85% passing through 75 microns and gold analysis is carried out using fire assay with an AA finish. Samples that return grades greater than 10.00 g/t Au are re-analyzed by gravimetric method, which is considered more accurate for very high-grade samples.

Duplicates of 5% of samples with grades above 0.5 g/t Au are delivered to ALS Global Laboratories in Australia for check assay determinations using the same methods (Au-AA26 and Au-GRA22 where applicable). ALS also analyses 33 pathfinder elements by HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES (method ME-ICP61). The Lion One lab can test a range of up to 71 elements through Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), but currently focuses on a suite of 26 important pathfinder elements with an aqua regia digest and ICP-OES finish.

(the “Lead Underwriter“) and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (together with the Lead Underwriter, the “Underwriters“).

Concurrently with the Offering, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement (the “Sidecar Private Placement“) of 6,431,114 Units on the same terms as the Offering for gross proceeds of $2,186,578.76 pursuant to applicable exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions. All securities issuable pursuant to the Sidecar Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, expiring on June 15, 2025.

In aggregate, under the Offering the Company issued 31,798,761 Units for gross proceeds of $10,811,578.74.

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share“) in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“) of the Company. Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) at a price per Warrant Share of C$0.41 for a period of 36 months from the closing date of the Offering. The Company has applied to list the Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to the satisfaction of listing conditions which are currently in process.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Underwriters a cash commission of $603,750.00, which was equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, and issued an aggregate of 1,775,735 broker warrants, equal to 7.0% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering.

The Units issued pursuant to the Offering were qualified for distribution by way of a prospectus supplement of the Company dated February 10, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement“) to the Company’s existing short form base shelf prospectus dated January 31, 2025 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus“) filed in all of the Provinces and Territories of Canada, and offered and sold in all the Provinces and Territories of Canada other than Quebec and Nunavut and to eligible purchasers by way of available prospectus exemptions in certain jurisdictions outside of Canada. The Base Shelf Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the Underwriting Agreement are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Certain subscribers under the Sidecar Private Placement are directors and management of the Company.

The transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any securities issued or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Lion One Drills 6.7 m of 25.45 g/t Gold in Zone 2 at Tuvatu Gold Mine in Fiji

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 30, 2025) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (“Lion One” or the “Company“) is pleased to report significant new high-grade gold results from 3,791.3 metres of underground grade control drilling at its 100% owned Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project in Fiji. The drilling is focused on Zone 2 and targeted the URW and Murau lode systems.

All drilling was completed from existing near surface underground workings. The Company intersected high-grade mineralized structures in 25 holes. Most of the drill holes did not exceed 130 metres in length from underground drill stations. Drill results include multiple bonanza grade gold assays over narrow widths such as 168.3 g/t over 0.4 m, 158.0 g/t over 0.3 m, 145.5 g/t over 0.4 m, 123.5 g/t over 0.6 m, and 119.5 g/t over 0.4 m, all of which are located near existing underground workings. These bonanza grade gold results occur within larger intervals of high-grade mineralization, such as 6.7 m of 25.45 g/t gold, and 4.7 m of 26.89 g/t gold.

The Zone 2 drilling targeted two separate mineralized systems: the URW system and the Murau system. The URW drilling primarily targeted the downdip extension of the URW1 stockwork zone below the 1101 level, while the Murau drilling primarily targeted mineralization below the 1095 level. Both programs intersected high grade mineralization, indicating that both systems extend down vertically below current mining levels. Due to the proximity of these results to active mining levels, these results are anticipated to be incorporated into the mine plan in the next six to twelve months. Notably, the headline intersect of 6.7 m of 25.45 g/t gold is located within the high-grade roscoelite zone, just 10 m below current mining activities in the 1095 level (see press releases dated November 12, 2024 and November 19, 2024 ).

Lion One Chairman and CEO Walter Berukoff commented: “We’re extremely pleased with the new results from our Zone 2 grade control drill program. These drill results are in close proximity to our active mine headings and we’re excited to incorporate them into our near-term mine plan. Together with the high-grade Zone 5 results released last week, we continue to advance Tuvatu on multiple fronts and we look forward to advancing the mine to new levels underground.”

Highlights of New Drill Results:

  • 25.45 g/t Au over 6.7 m (including 145.5 g/t Au over 0.4 m) (TGC-0276, from 45.1 m depth)
  • 26.89 g/t Au over 4.7 m (including 78.0 g/t Au over 0.85 m) (TGC-0264, from 36.8 m depth)
  • 36.94 g/t Au over 2.5 m (including 158.0 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TGC-0312, from 46.5 m depth)
  • 13.97 g/t Au over 6.6 m (including 54.5 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TGC-0260, from 31.45 m depth)
  • 45.95 g/t Au over 1.8 m (including 123.5 g/t Au over 0.55 m) (TGC-0308, from 43 m depth)
  • 168.25 g/t Au over 0.4 m (TGC-0276, from 18.5 m depth)
  • 29.23 g/t Au over 2.1 m (including 37.43 g/t Au over 0.9 m) (TGC-0353, from 27.9 m depth)
  • 21.48 g/t Au over 2.7 m (including 119.5 g/t Au over 0.42 m) (TGC-0344, from 70.2 m depth)
  • 12.47 g/t Au over 3.8 m (including 49.86 g/t Au over 0.45 m) (TGC-0264, from 57.2 m depth)
  • 10.82 g/t Au over 3.7 m (including 19.51 g/t Au over 0.6 m) (TGC-0276, from 39.9 m depth)

*Drill intersects are downhole lengths, 3.0 g/t cutoff. True width not known. See Table 1 for additional data.

Zone 2 Drilling

The Zone 2 area of Tuvatu is located in the northwest part of the deposit, near the main portal. The URW and Murau lode systems are the primary mineralized systems in Zone 2, and they are both actively being mined. A total of 35 drill holes are reported in this news release, including 23 targeting the URW system and 12 targeting the Murau system.

The URW system consists of multiple closely spaced steeply dipping high grade mineralized lodes trending in a north-south direction. Within this system lies the URW1 stockwork zone, which consist of two steeply dipping lodes enveloped within a stockwork zone of gold-bearing veinlets. Four levels of underground mining have been completed within the URW1 stockwork zone; the 1161, 1141, 1121, and 1101 levels. Long hole open stope mining is taking place between these levels. The URW drilling reported here was conducted from the 1116 drill station underground and consists of a series of drill holes oriented in a fan from east to southeast. The drill program primarily targeted the down dip extension of the URW1 stockwork zone below the 1101 level along a 120 m strike length from north to south. High- and bonanza-grade results were intersected in multiple drill holes, indicating the continuation of the system below current mine workings (see Figure 2).

The Murau system consists of a series of high-grade flat to moderately flat mineralized structures located between the steeply dipping URW1 stockwork zone to the east and the steeply dipping Ura lode system to the west. The Murau structures are known as ”flatmakes”[1] and have abundant roscoelite mineralization. They Murau flatmakes are a major component of the high-grade roscoelite zone that was identified in 2024. The first such flatmake is being actively mined along the 1095 level in Zone 2 where a 120 m strike length of the system has been exposed. The Murau drilling reported here was conducted from the 1121 drill station underground. Drilling consists of a series of drill holes oriented in a fan from the north to the northwest. The primary target of the drilling was mineralization below the 1095 level, with several drillholes also targeting mineralization above the 1095 level. High grade mineralization was intersected both above and below the 1095 level, with 6.7 m of 25.45 g/t gold intersected within 10 m below the 1095 level indicating the potential for additional flatmakes below the 1095 level (see Figure 3).

The purpose of the current Zone 2 URW and Murau grade control drill programs are to enhance the mine model and inform stope design in advance of mining in these areas. The majority of the high-grade intervals reported in this release are located within 30 m of underground developments and are anticipated to be included in the mine plan in 2025. Both the URW1 and Murau drill programs have successfully intersected high-grade gold mineralization in close proximity below current underground workings. Highlights of the Zone 2 drilling reported here are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Figure 2. Zone 2 URW grade control drilling with high-grade intersects highlighted, 3.0 g/t gold cutoff. Oblique view looking down to the north. The URW grade control drilling in Zone 2 was oriented in a fan from the east to the south and primarily targeted the down-dip extension of the URW1 stockwork zone below the 1101 level, as well as the extensions of the system to the north and to the south.

Lion One Laboratories / QAQC

Lion One adheres to rigorous QAQC procedures above and beyond basic regulatory guidelines in conducting its drilling, sampling, testing, and analyses. The Company operates its own geochemical assay laboratory and its own fleet of diamond drill rigs using PQ, HQ and NQ sized drill rods.

Diamond drill core samples are logged by Lion One personnel on site. Exploration diamond drill core is split by Lion One personnel on site, with half core samples sent for analysis and the other half core remaining on site. Grade control diamond drill core is whole core assayed. Core samples are delivered to the Lion One Laboratory for preparation and analysis. All samples are pulverized at the Lion One lab to 85% passing through 75 microns and gold analysis is carried out using fire assay with an AA finish. Samples that return grades greater than 10.00 g/t Au are re-analyzed by gravimetric method, which is considered more accurate for very high-grade samples.

Duplicates of 5% of samples with grades above 0.5 g/t Au are delivered to ALS Global Laboratories in Australia for check assay determinations using the same methods (Au-AA26 and Au-GRA22 where applicable). ALS also analyses 33 pathfinder elements by HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES (method ME-ICP61). The Lion One lab can test a range of up to 71 elements through Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), but currently focuses on a suite of 26 important pathfinder elements with an aqua regia digest and ICP-OES finish.

Dubai Diamond Manufacturer Funds Mining Company

Rough diamonds image

Diamcor Mining has received an investment from a Dubai-based diamond manufacturer that will allow it to advance various projects at its South African operation. 

The mining company, which operates the Krone-Endora at Venetia project, will use the funds to expedite the processing of previously stockpiled oversized material, increase processing volume, and develop work programs it currently has underway, it said Monday. It will also further its bulk sampling. 

Diamcor did not provide the name of the Dubai-based company but did note it was a “manufacturer and supplier of bridal and anniversary diamonds to the global market.” The miner also said the manufacturer would not receive shares in Diamcor in return for the funding. 

“This financing is the result of long-term relationships we have developed with key associates in Dubai over many years and the mutual vision our companies share on the merits of building a growing supply of gem-quality non-conflict natural rough diamonds for the luxury-jewelry sector,” said Diamcor CEO Dean Taylor. “While 2024 was a challenging year for everyone in the diamond industry, we believe the factors responsible for this will ultimately begin to stabilize by the second half of 2025, and this financing will help to ensure we are well-positioned and ready for this anticipated recovery.”

About Diamcor Mining Inc.

Diamcor Mining Inc. is a fully reporting publicly traded Canadian diamond mining company with a well-established proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds. The Company’s primary focus is on the mining and development of its Krone-Endora at Venetia Project which is co-located and directly adjacent to De Beers’ Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. The Venetia diamond mine is recognized as one of the world’s top diamond-producing mines, and the deposits which occur on Krone-Endora have been identified as being the result of shift and subsequent erosion of an estimated 50M tonnes of material from the higher grounds of Venetia to the lower surrounding areas in the direction of Krone and Endora. Well known Luxury Retailer Tiffany & Co provided the Company with financing to expedite the advancement of the Project and holds a first right of refusal to acquire rough diamonds under 10.8 carats in size at then market prices for the life of the Project. The Company focuses on the acquisition and development of mid-tier projects with near-term production capabilities and growth potential and uses unique approaches to mining that involves the use of advanced technology and techniques to extract diamonds in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner. The Company has a strong commitment to social responsibility, including supporting local communities and protecting the environment.

About the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project

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. The Company subsequently 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 is also advancing 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. These 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 an estimated 1,000 vertical meters of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur 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, which is widely recognised as one of the top producing diamond mines in the world.
