DFI Expands Marine Operations to Include Other Mineral Deposits

---

 Vancouver, October 26, 2009 -- Diamond Fields International Ltd. (DFI:TSX) ("DFI" or the "Company"). Diamond Fields is pleased to announce that is expanding its marine operations division to include base metal and other mineral marine deposits around the world. The Company is actively targeting, evaluating and pursuing known world-class deposits for possible acquisition. "Given Diamond Fields' unique experience as one of only a handful of companies to successfully conduct commercial marine mining, and the vast mineral wealth offshore, it only makes sense for DFI to capitalize on that experience and apply its expertise to other parts of the world" said Wayne Malouf, Diamond Fields CEO. He noted while the Company is expanding its marine mining division, it continues to pursue and develop land-based projects as well.
