Leicester plant nears completion

Contrary to what was reported in the Feb. 8 issue of The Northern Miner, plant construction is nearing completion on the Leicester diamond project near Kimberley, South Africa.

Stow Resources (VSE) and Dryden Resources (VSE), together with SouthernEra Resources (TSE), have an option to earn an 80% interest in the project. The juniors expect to complete a second-stage drilling and bulk-sampling program by early August.

The new 60-tonne-per-hour plant is expected to begin processing a previously stockpiled bulk sample by late February.
