Shear Diamonds Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRM) ("Shear") is providing a processing and
operations update with respect to the high grade concentrate stockpiles at its
Jericho diamond mine:
-- Shear has been successfully in 24 hour operations since June 15, 2012.
-- Since commencing 24 hour operations, Shear's average production rate has
been in excess of 80 tonnes per day.
-- Shear's average recovery grade for the period since May 17th, 2012 has
been 10.9 carats per tonne, and recoveries since commencing 24 hour
operations have been as good or better than from the prior production
period.
-- In light of these achievements, and in order to assist Shear in
addressing its cash flow challenges, Tache Company NV ("Tache"), Shear's
diamond marketing partner, have agreed to advance Shear an additional
$550,000 over the course of the next few weeks. These advances are in
the nature of prepayments for future production to be sold through
Tache, and are conditional on Shear continuing its processing on an
acceptable basis.
-- Shear's next parcel of diamonds is due to be delivered to Tache in early
July.
