Beaufield Reports the Seven Last Holes From Tortigny, 43-101 is Underway, More Exploration Starting


OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 15, 2011) - Beaufield Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BFD) is pleased to report results from the last seven diamond drill holes totalling 1,632 metres from the Tortigny deposit, located on its 100% owned Troilus property, 100 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Québec.

The drilling program on the Tortigny deposit started on November 24th 2010 and finished on June 8th 2011. 47 holes, totalling 11,393 metres, were drilled. Core description and sampling were completed on June 29th 2011. Forty holes were released previously (NR's February 4, 2011, April 20, 2011 and July 27 2011).

The detailed drilling suggests a deposit more complex than originally supposed, with new mineralized lenses, or folded portions of known zones being located below the assumed bottom of the hinge as reported in 1997 by Noranda Inc. Beaufield is presently building a model of the mineralized body. It should be noted that the mineralized in-hole sections reported here are not necessarily true width. The angle between the drilled hole and the mineralized zone varies from one hole to another depending on the steepness of the mineralized zone.

The seven holes reported in this press release, total 1,632 metres and were drilled north to south, at an angle dipping from 45° to 60°. These holes were necessary to better estimate the shape of the deposit and help in the elaboration of a geological model.

Holes SGS-11-001A (40°), SGS-11-001B (50°) and SGS-11-001C (60°), located on the same setup were drilled in a fan pattern intercepting the mineralized zone at three different depths on the same section as the previously reported vertical holes TO-10-25 ( 9.27% Zinc, 5.17% Copper, 134.55 g/t Silver and 0.72 g/t Gold over 39.35 metres) (NR's April 20, 2011) and TO-10-28 (13.07% Zinc, 6.17% Copper, 149.91 g/t Silver and 0.48 g/t Gold over 21.05 metres) (NR's April 20, 2011). The mineralized intersections in the three holes are reported in the table below.

Holes SGS-11-003A and SGS-11-003B were drilled on the same setup in a fan pattern located 30 metres west of SGS-11-002A. Hole SGS-11-003A is dipping 60° south and deviated excessively and grazed the mineralized zone. Hole SGS-11-003B dipping 45° south intersected a thin lateral extension of the main deposit, as the same section of hole TO-10-39 (3.86% Zinc, 4.22% Copper, 107.71 g/t Silver and 1.27 g/t Gold over 3.15 metres) (NR's July 27, 2011).

A independent NI 43-101 resource calculation, on the Tortigny deposit, is currently underway, and is expected to be completed by the end of the current year. In the vicinity of the Tortigny deposit, multiple drill targets have been identified by airborne electromagnetic, ground induced polarization survey and further support from an airborne gravity survey. Ground follow-up campaign, this fall, will evaluate the targets before drilling. Drilling is scheduled to begin in late October or early November 2011.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Core processing included descriptive logging and systematic sampling for analysis. The drill core samples were completely cut in half, with one half delivered to a commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference. Duplicates, blanks and standards were inserted into the sample sequence. Gold assays were performed at ALS CHEMEX Laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. The processed samples were submitted to a standard Fire Assay with AA technique (Au-AA-23) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ME-ICP-41) on a 30 gram sub-sample.

David Frappier-Rivard, P.Geo., Exploration Manager is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and supervised both the field project and the preparation of the technical information in this release.
