Stornoway Diamond Corporation reported that it has achieved sustained underground mine production at the Renard Diamond Mine at or above the mine’s design capacity. This marks the completion of the production ramp-up of the underground mine. Over a 20-day period ending August 29, 2018, ore mucked and trucked to surface averaged 6,039 tonnes per day against a budgeted design capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day. Ore production is now being sourced from 16 active draw-points developed on 4 mining panels at the 290m level of the Renard 2 kimberlite. Ore processing during this period averaged 7,085 tonnes per day, with underground feed supplemented with ore derived from the Renard 65 open pit, as planned. As previously reported, Stornoway is engaged with its lenders and key stakeholders concerning certain balance sheet amendments designed to provide greater financial flexibility in its operations pending the attainment of positive free cash flow. These amendments are expected to include modifications to its existing financing agreements. Discussions with stakeholders are ongoing, progressing positively, and at an advanced stage. Stornoway expects to provide further guidance on this matter prior to the end of the current quarter.
