Diamond Core BRC merger okayed

(Fin24) - The proposed merger of Northern Cape diamond explorer Diamond Core Resources (DMR) and BRC Diamond
Corporation, a Canadian diamond exploration company, looks set to go ahead after Diamond Core secured shareholder approval for the transaction today.


The merger will create a company with a combined value of $200m, which will make it the fifth-largest diamond junior mining company in Africa.


Diamond Core said in a statement to the JSE that shareholders
representing 99.52% of the total number of votes voted in favour of the merger.


The proposed merger, which will be done by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement, was first announced in July last year.
