Star - Orion South Diamond Project Revised Mineral Resources Estimate Technical Report Filed On Sedar+

SASKATOON, SK, Sept. 5, 2024 /CNW/ - Star Diamond Corp. ("Star Diamond" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Technical Report documenting the Revised Mineral Resources Estimate (see News Release dated July 24, 2024) for the Star - Orion South Diamond Project (the "Project") has been filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). This Technical Report has also been posted on the Star Diamond website: Technical Report 2024.

The scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been prepared and verified by A.C.A. Howe International Limited ("Howe"), under the supervision of Mr. Daniel C. Leroux, M.Sc., P. Geo. and the Mineral Resource estimation methodology under the supervision of Peter Ravenscroft, FAusIMM, of Ravenscroft Mining Advisors, an independent mining consultant, and a Qualified Person ("QP") within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators. This Revised Mineral Resources estimate uses diamond industry standard methods which are rigorously applied to the Star and Orion South evaluation data, acknowledging the significant control that fundamental kimberlite geology has on the distribution of diamonds within these deposits.

The Revised Mineral Resources estimate will now be incorporated into a re-optimized open pit mine plan for the Project, which will include a re-evaluation of Mineral Reserves and an economic assessment based thereon. It is anticipated this work will be completed during 2024-25 and will result in an updated Pre-feasibility Study including a revised statement of Mineral Reserves for the Project, if warranted, and an economic assessment based thereon. Accordingly, the Mineral Resources and economic assessment previously disclosed by Star Diamond for the Project should no longer be relied upon.

All technical information in this press release has been prepared under the supervision of George Read, Senior Vice President Corporate Development, a registered Professional Geoscientist in the Provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia and Mark Shimell, Vice President Exploration, a registered Professional Geoscientist in the Provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, who are Star Diamond's QP's under the definition of NI 43-101.
