(Cape Town, July 4, 2006) – Diamond Fields International Ltd. (DFI:TSX) (“DFI” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the result of recent diamond sales from its Namibian marine mining operations in the Diaz Reef area. 3,311.68 carats of diamonds were sold at an average price of US$186.67 per carat for gross proceeds of US$618,186. Roger Daniel, President and CEO of Diamond Fields commented: “The latest sales continue to confirm the quality and consistent demand for DFI’s marine diamonds but also reflect a slightly weaker market for rough. All of the latest diamonds sold were mined in the Diaz Reef area”.

Consistent with the relocation of its Head Office to Cape Town, South Africa, and pending the completion of the merger with Moydow Mines International Inc. announced in press releases dated March 1, 2006, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Waldo Pienaar CA(SA), as interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Pienaar is replacing Darren McDonald who is returning to Canada after completing the assignment of guiding the transition of DFI’s head office from Vancouver to Cape Town. Mr. Pienaar qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2005 in South Africa, and has undertaken varied financial contracting and consulting work in the commercial sector after being with Deloitte & Touche for 3 years in South Africa and the USA.

The appointment will be effective from June 30, 2006 and Mr. McDonald will resign from the Company on the same day. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Diamond Fields would like to extend its appreciation to Mr. McDonald for his excellent service and contribution to the Company over the past 3 years and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors on his return to Canada. Mr. McDonald has agreed to make himself available to the Company on an ad hoc consulting basis.
