Diamond Fields Announces Successful Conclusion of Initial Mining Campaign Offshore Namibia

V.DFR

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 14, 2019) - Diamond Fields Resources Inc. (TSXV: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") announces that the initial mining campaign on its ML111 licence area offshore Namibia has successfully concluded, as expected. A second parcel of diamonds recovered from ML111 as part of this initial campaign phase will be shipped in due course.

Final production figures for the initial campaign will be announced following Government evaluation and verification of production.

The Company and the operators will undertake a review of initial operational and financial performance following the sale of the diamond parcels, which is expected in the first quarter of 2019. The six months' (non-continuous) mining programme on ML111 is thereafter expected to recommence later in 2019.

As previously announced on December 20, 2018, an initial shipment of a 25,151.60 carat parcel of diamonds (gross weight unpolished rough diamonds as endorsed in the relevant Kimberley Process Certificate) were recovered from the ML111 licence during the first 25 days of mining, between November 11, 2018 and December 5, 2018. The shipment is undergoing independent valuation and initial sorting in preparation for sale through International Mining and Dredging Holdings (Pty) Limited which is operating the campaign on behalf of DFR via its subsidiary Nutam Operations (Pty) Ltd.
