VANCOUVER, Nov. 11, 2019
/CNW/ - 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.
