Diamcor Receives Section 244 Notice from Tiffany & Co.
KELOWNA, BC / / June 13, 2025 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSXV:DMI)(OTC PINK:DMIFF)(FRA:DC3A), ("Diamcor" or the "Company"), a well-established Canadian diamond mining company with a proven history in the mining, exploration, and sale of rough diamonds, announces that is has received a section 244(1) notice (the "s. 244 Notice") under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) from Tiffany & Co. Canada ("Tiffany"), together with notice that an Event of Default has occurred under the Company's current loan and security agreements with Tiffany. The s. 244 Notice provides notice to the Company that Tiffany intends to enforce its security against all of the Company's present and after acquired personal property and all shares held by the Company in the capital of DMI Diamonds South Africa (Pty) Ltd. The s. 244 Notice provides that Tiffany must give 10 days' notice of its intention to enforce a security interest prior to taking any enforcement steps. The Company and Tiffany are currently exploring alternatives to the enforcement of the security. 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. Diamcor also 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 the support of local people, communities, and 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 has also submitted 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 the largest diamond mine in South Africa, and one of the most prolific diamond mines in the world.

Building a $42,000 TFSA That Generates Passive Income
Written by Sneha Nahata at The Motley Fool Canada Building a $42,000 Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) portfolio for generating passive income without tax worries involves investing in top Canadian dividend stocks. These TSX stocks have solid dividend payment and growth history, supported by their fundamentally strong businesses, growing earnings base, and sustainable payouts. Moreover, TFSA investors should focus on diversifying their TFSA portfolio to spread risk and generate steady income in all market conditions. For instance, investors could consider blue-chip stocks such as Enbridge (TSX:ENB), Fortis (TSX:FTS), and Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY). These companies have resilient businesses, which enable them to generate stable earnings regardless of market conditions, thereby rewarding shareholders through consistent dividend increases. Notably, energy infrastructure giant Enbridge has increased its dividend consistently for three decades. Moreover, the company aims for mid-single-digit growth in its annual dividend in the long term. Similarly, Canadian electric utility company Fortis has raised dividends for 51 consecutive years and is expected to continue growing them by 4-6% annually through 2029, driven by its expanding rate base. Moreover, the Canadian banking giant Royal Bank of Canada has increased its dividend by about 7% annually since 2014. Its high-quality assets, strong deposit base, and operational efficiency will drive future earnings, supporting higher payouts. Besides these top TSX dividend-paying stocks, let's look at a few more names that offer resilient payouts and attractive yields to generate tax-free passive income. Brookfield Renewable Partners (TSX: is an attractive stock for building a passive-income portfolio. Its highly diversified portfolio of renewable power assets, substantial operating capacity, and long-term, inflation-linked contracts position it well to generate solid funds from operations, which enables it to pay higher dividends. Notably, the company has increased its distributions by at least 5% annually for the past 14 years and currently offers a high yield of 5.8%. Brookfield Renewables is well-positioned for future growth thanks to its large development pipeline, rising demand for renewable energy, and a highly contracted portfolio with an average term of 14 years. Moreover, about 70% of its contracts are tied to inflation, supporting organic growth. In addition, its low operating costs and ongoing asset recycling efforts further strengthen its growth prospects. Thanks to its resilient earnings base, Brookfield's management expects to deliver a total return of 12% to 15% annually in the long term, implying that the company can continue to grow its dividend at a healthy pace. In short, its consistent dividend growth history, sustainable payouts, high yield, and visibility into future payments make it a solid investment for TFSA investors seeking steady passive income. Telus (TSX:T) is another top pick for investors seeking dependable, long-term passive income. The telecom leader has a strong track record of rewarding shareholders. Telus has raised its quarterly dividend 27 times since 2011. Moreover, it currently offers a juicy 7.5% dividend yield. Telus plans to grow its dividends by 3%–8% annually through 2028 while keeping a healthy payout ratio of 60–75% of free cash flow. Notably, its ability to profitably expand its user base, low churn rate, and disciplined capital spending will support future dividend payments. Moreover, Telus is investing in network upgrades and spectrum to stay competitive and expand its 5G offering. Additionally, its focus on diversifying the revenue base and reducing costs bodes well for growth, enabling the company to consistently reward its shareholders.
