Star Diamond acquires Buffalo Hills project in Alberta
Located approximately 400 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, the Buffalo Hills project includes 21 mineral leases covering 4,800 hectares.
Canadian miner Stornoway Diamonds (TSX: SWY) is developing a project in north-central Quebec which is expected to become the province’s first diamond mine.
The Renard kimberlite project forecasts its plant commissioning to begin in Dec. 2015 with commercial production running full on in June 2016.
The provincial government issued the 20-year mining lease in the fall of 2012. All season-road access to the project was completed in early 2013.
