NEWS, NOTES AND COMMENTS
Issue No. 1 January 2000
Happy New Year and welcome to Diamond Fields' first News, Notes and Comments Newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed of upcoming news and/or events that will be happening in the world of Diamond Fields and to summarize past news and events. We plan to "publish" our newsletter once every two to three months, however this schedule is somewhat dependent on news flow.
First of all, I would like to introduce myself, Don Halliday, the most recent addition to the Diamond Fields team. I will be working with the Company in coordinating an investor relations program for the year 2000, an important and exciting year for Diamond Fields and its shareholders. The program will cover all areas of investor relations. I look forward to speaking with our shareholders in the near future and can be reached at the main Diamond Fields office number: (604) 682-2113 or at (604) 608-0826. Please feel free to call.
