Feb. 9, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
VANCOUVER, Feb. 9 /CNW/ - Diamond Fields International Ltd. (DFI:TSX) ("DFI" or the "Company") announces that it is proceeding with arbitration against the Government of Liberia ("GOL") alleging it wrongfully terminated the license on the Company's Henry Town gold project. Proceedings are being brought before the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes in Washington D.C., per the license agreement.
The Company undertook an exploration program for gold in the license area and a group 1,500 soil samples were analyzed by Alex Stewart Assayers, a NI43-101 compliant laboratory. An initial appraisal of the results indicated significant gold mineralization within discrete zones of quartz veining.
DFI is seeking reinstatement of the license or conversion to a Mineral Development Agreement, and monetary damages.
