Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2021) - Diamond Fields Resources Inc. (TSXV: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") announces that discussions are ongoing with TMH Acquisition Co ("TMH") concerning the advancement of its Beravina project pursuant to the agreement with TMH entered into on 16 May 2019 (the "Cooperation Agreement"). The Cooperation Agreement was previously extended, without financial penalty, due to various delays in the implementation of the intended work program, which were previously reported (see DFR Press Release 11 November 2019 and 29 May 2020). Continuing uncertainty about the outlook for COVID-19 restrictions in Madagascar have been a complicating factor and both parties are willing to conclude matters at the earliest opportunity. An announcement will be made by the Company once these discussions are complete.
About Beravina
