Commencement of Drilling at Beravina and Agreement to Extend Timetable
VANCOUVER, Nov. 11, 2019 - Diamond Fields Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been notified by TMH Acquisition Co ("TMH") that the planned drill program at the Company's Beravina Zircon Project in Madagascar ("Beravina") has commenced. Two drill rigs are being deployed as part of the exploration and development work to confirm known mineralisation and test extensions. As previously announced, an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") covering the drill program has been secured from the Madagascan authorities. The EIA process inevitably impacted the timing for completion of the exploration work beyond the originally envisaged period of 7 months from 16 May 2019 ("the Evaluation Period"). The Company and TMH have now agreed to extend the Evaluation Period, without financial penalty, until 31 May 2020. A further extension to the Evaluation Period for up to three months remains available to TMH, provided development expenses have been incurred by TMH in an amount that equals or exceeds US$500,000 and TMH makes a cash payment of US$250,000.
