Seafield Discovers Porphyry Style Mineralization at Tesorito; Drills 384 m at 1.01 g/t Au, 0.9 g/t Ag and 0.08 % Cu, Including 29.3 m at 1.9 g/t Au, 1.0 g/t Ag and 0.12 % Cu

 
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 28, 2013) - Seafield Resources Ltd. ("Seafield" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:SFF) is pleased to announce it has made a new discovery of gold-copper porphyry mineralization at its Quinchía Gold Project in Risaralda, Colombia. Assay results reported below are from the first drilling completed at the Tesorito target, located only 800m south-east of the Miraflores Gold Deposit. To date, 750 metres have been completed in two drill holes, both of which ended in mineralization. The drilling at Tesorito is testing a broad target identified from earlier surface exploration which included geological mappin
g, soil sampling, trenching and geophysics. These initial drill results suggest the potential for another significant mineralized body within the Company's Quinchía Gold Project.
Highlights:

• Drill hole TS-DH-02 intersected 384 m at 1.01 g/t Au, 0.9 g/t Ag and 0.08 % Cu, Including 29.3 m at 1.9 g/t Au, 1.0 g/t Ag and 0.12 % Cu.
  
• The anomalous zone outlined by gold in soils and high chargeability IP covers an area of 500 metres by 700 metres.
  
• Tesorito is situated 800 metres southeast of the Miraflores Gold Deposit at an elevation of approximately 1,200 metres above sea level (See Figure 1).
  
• Drill holes TS-DH-01 and TS-DH-02 intercepted continuous gold, silver and copper mineralization and alteration from surface to the bottom of each hole, with both holes ending in mineralization.

"This marks a new discovery for Seafield and continues to highlight the geological potential of the district," commented Seafield's President and CEO, Cesar Lopez. "Tesorito was originally examined as a possible location for a tailings site for Miraflores, but our field work quickly identified its mineral potential and we were led to make a discovery instead. Our geological team is busy interpreting the information we have collected in order to finalize plans for the remainder of the initial exploration program at Tesorito. Meanwhile, the Company's main focus continues to be completing the Definitive Feasibility Study at Miraflores by the end of 2013."
Details:
Table 1 provides the assay results of the first two diamond drill holes completed at Tesorito. The objective of this first drill campaign is to confirm the continuity at depth of the gold and copper mineralization observed at surface (See the Company's press release dated September 27, 2012). Both holes intercepted porphyry style mineralization and alteration from surface to the final depth of each hole.

including	346.5	400	53.5	0.80	1.0	0.15

Note:

Only continuous intervals of mineralization over 6 metres with a cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au are reported.

Geology and Mineralization
The Tesorito area is underlain mainly by fine to coarse grained, intrusive porphyritic rocks of granodioritic to dioritic composition, which intrude basaltic rocks of the Barroso Formation of Cretaceous age (Figure 2). All rock types show variable intensities of hydrothermal alteration, including potassic alteration overprinted by phyllic, argillic and propylitic alteration. NNE, NNW and NW faulting controls the intrusive emplacement and mineralization, including faulting of contacts between the rock units. The depth of sulphide oxidation observed in the first two holes is approximately 20 m.
The porphyry-style mineralization of gold, silver and copper observed in the intrusive rocks is found as sulphides in disseminations as well as in veinlets and stockworks of quartz, magnetite and sulphides. The sulphides identified include pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite.

Review by Qualified Person, Quality Control and Reports
Giovanny Ortiz, Vice President of Exploration for Seafield Resources Ltd., is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and prepared or reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical information in this press release with respect to the assay results from the drilling program. Mr. Ortiz is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Membership # 304612) a professional association and designation recognized by the Canadian regulatory authorities. Mr. Ortiz verified the data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information contained in this release. Verification included a review and validation of the applicable assay databases and reviews of assay certificates.
The core samples were split by rock saw, and half of the core was sampled. Core samples were prepared by ALS Colombia Ltda in Medellin and were assayed at the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru. Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS) finish. Samples above 10.0 g/t Au were repeated by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with gravimetric finish. Multi-elements were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) following multi-acid digestion. Blank, standard and duplicate samples were routinely inserted for quality assurance and quality control.
