Overview of Activities
In January 2004, Diamond Fields announced the results of the 2003 fieldwork conducted on its nickel project located on Ammassalik Island off the southeast coast of Greenland. Mapping and sampling extended the strike length of the most prospective horizon to over 40 kilometres in four structurally repeated zones. Fieldwork has recovered locally derived boulders with anomalous (0.2%-1%) nickel emanating from three of the four horizons. Diamond Fields’ geologists are greatly encouraged by these results and plan to conduct an airborne Mag/EM geophysical survey as soon as weather permits.

On February 24, 2004, Diamond Fields appointed Mr. Kenneth E. Hecker to the positions of Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer). Mr. Hecker joined Diamond Fields to guide the process of exploring and developing the Company’s international diamond and nickel projects, while seeking opportunities to acquire new economic mineral projects worldwide. On March 23, 2004 the Company acquired the Ogna Nickel-Copper project in southwestern Norway consisting of the Bjorndalsnipa (Ni, Cu) and Gulldragsvatn (Ni, Cu, Ti) properties. The properties are subject to a 1% net smelter royalty.

Outlook
Diamond mining operations are scheduled to recommence on the Luderitz Concession by early June 2004. The term of the joint venture agreement is for an initial six-month period, with Diamond Fields having the sole option to renew the joint venture on the same terms for a further six-month period, subject to agreement on an acceptable mine plan.

With respect to the Ogna Nickel-Copper Project in Norway, the Company plans an exploration drilling program commencing in late May 2004, on promising geophysical targets in altered and mineralized intrusive rocks of the Rogaland intrusive massifs.

On April 16, 2004 the Company obtained two mineral reconnaissance licenses in Liberia, one of which is a diamond prospect, the other a gold prospect. Diamond Fields is planning sampling programs to attempt to define anomalous areas on both these concessions.

Diamond Fields International Ltd. is an internationally active exploration and mining company pursuing mineral opportunities worldwide. The Company’s corporate strategy is to maximize cash flow from its Namibian marine diamond concessions and to systematically explore and develop its international mineral exploration projects. In addition, the Company continues to explore opportunities to acquire new economic mineral projects worldwide. Additional information is available on the Company’s website at www.diamondfields.com.
