VANCOUVER, Oct. 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Diamond Fields Resources
Inc. (TSX-V: DFR) ("DFR" or the "Company") provides an update on
activities at its ML111 diamond mining concession area in
Namibia.
As previously announced, following completion of the initial
stage of DFR's current ML111 mining campaign, the Company has been
reviewing the first phase of mining and operational performance
with International Mining and Dredging Holdings (Pty) Limited,
which carried out the campaign via its subsidiary NUTAM Operations
(Pty) Ltd.
The Company and IMDH continue to assess, amongst other things,
the need for further exploration and development work in order to
improve mining performance and a possible sharing of such costs.
Such work is expected to improve recoveries from the remaining
blocks under the current ML111 mining plan.
As a result of the continued discussions and the development
work envisaged, the second stage of the ML111 initial six months
(non-continuous) mining program is now not expected to resume later
in 2019. A further update will be provided in due course.
