Diamond Fields International Ltd. has suspended operations of its
diamond mining vessel, the MV DF Discoverer, until further notice. The board of
directors has made this decision based on the severity of the global economic
downturn and the sudden drop in the price of rough diamonds.
The company is pleased to announce that, together with its joint venture
partners, Silverhill Enterprises Ltd. and Ducor Inc., it will be moving forward
aggressively with drilling its Liberia gold discovery beginning in early
January, 2009.
