Richfield intersects 329 metres of 1.25 g/t gold including 233 metres of 1.42
g/t gold and 5.2 metres of 9.1 g/t gold at the bottom of the hole
QUESNEL, BC,
Gold values are fairly consistent, with several one metre intervals of higher gold values through much of the hole; the three highest such samples assayed 132 g/t Au (between 247 and 248 m depth), 42.5 g/t Au (between 331 and 332 m depth) and 17.8 g/t Au (between 215 and 216 m depth). The entire hole averaged 1.25 g/t Au over a sampled length of 329.2 metres from bedrock to the bottom of the hole. Averages include lower grade intervals; for example one lower grade interval averaged 0.12 g/t Au over 19 metres (between 312 and 331m).

BW 59 is a vertical hole collared about 270 metres northwest of BW 46 and drilled to 336 m depth. It intersected siliceous breccia with a few small intervals of chloritized andesite and lapilli tuff and gold values from top to bottom.
BW 58 intersected mainly massive andesite with lapilli tuff towards the base of the hole. The best gold values are in the lapilli tuff, where 19.6 metres average 0.81 g/t Au with 2.1 g/t Ag including 4 metres with 1.79 g/t Au and 3.6 g/t Ag. BW 58 was drilled 260.6 m deep and to the northeast at -50 degrees parallel to, and roughly half way between BW 47 (with 55.3 m of 1.46 g/t Au) and BW 48 (with 70 m of 1.51g/t Au). The hole is 285 metres west of BW46 (with 1.06 g/t Au over 207.25 metres).

Quality assurance
Richfield has implemented a rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at the Blackwater property using best industry practice and supervised by Dirk Tempelman-Kluit. The program includes: chain of custody of samples from drill to laboratory. Drill core is sawn in half at the property and for each sample half of the core from one metre intervals is placed in plastic bags and sealed. A standard sample supplied by an outside independent laboratory, a blank sample or a duplicate sample are inserted into the sample stream every tenth sample. Samples including the blanks and standards, are shipped by courier to Eco Tech Stewart Group Laboratories in Kamloops, B.C. Duplicate samples are shipped by courier to Acme Laboratories,
