Diamond Fields Announces Second Diamond Shipment from Namibia
Vancouver, January 22, 2019 - Diamond Fields Resources Inc. (TSXV: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the shipment of a 22,166.81 carat parcel of gross weight unpolished rough diamonds as endorsed by the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy.
The diamonds, which were recovered from the ML111 licence offshore Namibia between December 6, 2018 and January 11, 2019, have been shipped to Europe for independent valuation, processing and final sorting (whereby they will be mixed with those previously shipped in December) in preparation for sale during February 2019.
In total, 47,318.41 carats of diamond were exported from Namibia, after 65 days of mining between November 10, 2018 and January 13, 2019 ("the Period").
As per the announcement of October 3 2018, DFR will now commence a review of operational performance during the Period with International Mining and Dredging Holdings (Pty) Limited, which operated the campaign via its subsidiary NUTAM Operations (Pty) Ltd.
Information obtained during the Period will be used to determine the future mine plan in order to optimize potential returns from the ML111 resource. The remainder of the initial six months (non-continuous) mining program is expected to resume later in 2019.
