DFI is aggressively exploring the Henry Town anomalies by extending the current sample grid to determine the limits of the gold mineralisation of both the Henry Town and Guyama shear zones, as well as undertaking a channel sampling programme over the known extents of the gold mineralisation to define drill targets.

Drilling on the current anomalies is scheduled for the beginning of 2008.

The company is involved in marine diamond mining in Namibia, as well as exploration projects involving zinc and copper in Zambia, nickel in Madagascar, and diamonds and gold in Liberia.
