Peter Bernier,
President and CEO states "These positive drill results again
confirm the strength, continuity and size of the mineralized system
at Blackwater. BW 81 and 83 extend the zone southeastward and it
remains open on that trend."
Drilling continues with two rigs on the property
and Richfield plans to carry on drilling for the next several
months.
Drill map and strip logs for individual holes on
the company website will be posted today.

Widths reported are drill widths; true widths are unknown. Assays
are uncut, length-weighted average values.
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. The
remainder is retained in core boxes stored at the project camp.
A standard sample, a blank sample, or a
duplicate sample is inserted into the sample stream every tenth
sample. Five certified ore assay laboratory standards are used in
the program, and are supplied by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., an
independent laboratory located in Langley, BC. Samples including the blanks,
standards and duplicates, are shipped by bonded courier to Eco Tech
Stewart Group Laboratories in Kamloops,
BC, an internationally recognized analytical services
provider. Rejects selected at random are sent to Acme Labs of
Vancouver, BC for check assays. In
total, 291 quality control samples (14.3 % of all 2036 samples)
were analyzed. Richfield detected no significant QA/QC issues
during review of the data.
