Stornoway Diamond Corporation recently announced that it had closed its financing transactions with Orion Mine Finance, Ressources Québec (a wholly owned subsidiary of Investissement Québec) and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. The financing transactions, totalling almost $1 billion, are intended to provide a comprehensive funding package for the construction and opening of the Renard diamond mine north of Chibougamau.
