Richfield releases Phase 1 Mouse Mountain results and commences drilling at G-South Gold target

Interesting results were obtained from the phase 1 drill program at the Mouse Mountain copper-gold property. Five of the nine holes on the Rainbow Zone returned copper intersections on the order of 0.1% over down-hole widths on the order of 100 meters accompanied by anomalous gold values. The overall grade of the Rainbow zone appears to be around 0.1% copper equivalent. The additional six holes drilled in Phase 1 tested various geophysical anomalies. No significant zones of mineralization were intersected.

On the basis of the results from the Phase 1 work, Richfield has resolved to focus on the drilling of the G-South gold target and to postpone the Phase 2 drilling at Mouse Mountain till a later date.

Richfield aims to complete a 3000 meter drill program on the G-South target which is designed to verify and extend gold mineralization indicated from work by previous operators. (See News Release of April 30th 2008 or visit www.richfieldventures.ca for more information).
