Diamond Fields Announces Eight Month Extension to Beravina Project

Agreement

Vancouver, B.C. (29 September 2020) – Diamond Fields Resources Inc. (TSX-

V: DFR) (“DFR” or, including its subsidiaries, the “Company”) announces that it has

agreed an eight month extension (the “Exten sion”) to its cooperation agreement with

TMH Acquisition Co (“TMH”), as announced on May 16 2019 and amended on 26 June

2020 (the “Agreement”).

The Extension has been agreed due to ongoing travel and operational restrictions

resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the anticipated impact of the rainy season in

Madagascar preventing the Company from advancing the Beravina project in Madagascar

(“Beravina” or the “Project”) within the expected timeframe.

The Agreement required DFR to undertake further exploration work (“Phase 1”) with the

aim of locating potential new mineral deposits or extensions to the existing deposit. If

successful, the Company has the option to engage in a drilling campaign on the Project

(“Phase 2”) to delineate such deposits.

The deadline for DFR to complete Phase 1 and commence Phase 2 has now been

extended from 30 September 2020 to 31 May 2021. If work on Phase 2 does not

commence by 31 May 2021 (unless extended by DFR in certain circumstances), the

Agreement will terminate. The deadline for completion of Phase 2 has been extended

from 30 November 2020 to 31 July 2021.

The time available for TMH to exercise its opti on to acquire the Project as set out in the

Agreement has been extended from 31 December 2020 to 31 August 2021, which may

be further extended by three months on condition of an advance payment of

US$250,000 by TMH to DFR.

All other provisions of the Agreement remain unchanged.
