Preparing for a second bench of drilling and blasting at Renard project’s R65 kimberlite as part of the ongoing 5000-tonne bulk sample to determine diamond value.

Stornoway Diamond Corp., has received a mining lease for its Renard Diamond Project.

Issued by the Québec Ministère des Ressources naturelles, the lease is valid for 20 years.

“The mining lease is an important milestone in the mine permitting process in Quebec,” said Stornoway’s president and chief executive officer (CEO) Matt Manson. “Its issuance ahead of the project’s certificate of authorization reflects the broad consensus of support the project has achieved during the last two years of environmental study and community engagement. We remain on track to achieve regulatory approval for Renard this year.”

The Renard Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, as well as the project’s Environmental Baseline Study and Restoration Plan, are available at www.stornowaydiamonds.com/renard/esia.
