Diamond Fields Renews Zambian License and Confirms Significant
Copper Zinc Resource
=======================================================================

Vancouver, July 7, 2009 -- Diamond Fields International Ltd. (DFI:TSX)
("DFI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Government of
the Republic of Zambia has granted the Company's application for
renewal of its large-scale prospecting license PLLS 311 (the "License")
with respect to copper, gold silver, lead and germanium in the Solwezi
District of north-western Province, Zambia.

The License covers an area of more than 444 square kilometers. The
Company has completed regional exploration of the License. From a
review of published core drilling data undertaken by Gecamines, the
Company has been able to establish the continuation of the Kipushi ore
body into the Republic of Zambia over a minimum strike distance of 180
metres traversing the international border at a depth of approximately
1,000 metres below ground level. A total of 67l holes have been drilled
underground by Gecamines along the 1,132msl drill addit following the
southwesterly strike of the Kipushi orebody in the Republic of Zambia.
These are dispersed in 12 drill fans, drilled at 15 metre intervals
sub-perpendicular into the strike of the orebody, which plunges steeply
to the northwest. The Gecamines drill data for the Zambian extension to
the Kipushi orebody has been modeled using polygonal resource estimates
between the 1,200msl and 1,570msl levels. At least two sphaleritic
palaeokarst are contained within the 1,200msl to 1,570msl level on the
Zambian side of the border. A third sphalerlitic palaeokarst is
partially intersected by the international border. Mineralisation is
open to the southwest on the Zambian side of the border. The Company
has not independently verified the Gecamines drill data at this stage
and is thus conservatively treating any resource estimates as
"indicated".

Two other areas including the Katwishi anomaly, a defined Cu-Zn target
approximately 1,200 metres to the northwest of Kipushi, and a zone of
cupriferous gossans developed near the village of Yowela in the centre
of the license, were extensively sampled and have been evaluated. The
Katwishi anomaly was previously drilled by American Mineral Fields to a
depth of 256 metres. Although no economic mineralisation was
intersected, statistically significant levels of copper and zinc
mineralization were encountered. A review of the kinematics of the
genesis of the Katwishi anomaly undertaken by the Company suggests that
lateral as opposed to vertical propagation was dominant during the
early stages of formation, and that the Katwishi anomaly may contain
economic mineralization at depth.

Sampling of the Yowela prospect undertaken by the Company indicates a
relatively large anomalous zone of base metal mineralisation covering
an approximate area of approximately 15km2. The superficial
mineralisation is in the form of base-metal oxides, indicating meteoric
ground water leaching of a source(s) at depth. The mineralization at
Yowela does not appear to be associated with late-stage faulting and
fluid migration as typified by both the Kipushi orebody and the
Katwishi anomaly, but additional work is necessary to better understand
the geology.

The geological and technical information in this press release has been
compiled and reviewed by Mr. I Ransome B.Sc. (Hons) Geology, UBO, Pri.
Sci. Nat. Mr. Ransome is the Chief Geologist for Diamond Fields
International, and is a registered geological scientist with the South
African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) and is
thus a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities
