Beaufield Drills 5.24% Cu and 8.73% Zn over 16 Metres at Tortigny
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Beaufield
Resources Inc. ("Beaufield" or the "Corporation") (TSX-VENTURE:BFD)
is pleased to report drilling results from two new holes on its
100% owned Tortigny copper-zinc-silver-gold deposit. The project is
located on an all-weather road approximately 100 kilometres north
of the town of Chibougamau, Quebec.
Beaufield has recently completed a 10 hole drilling program
totaling 2,203 metres on the property including 1,010 metres in the
deposit area. Two holes were drilled in the north limb of the
Tortigny deposit to explore a portion of the Tortigny structure not
previously drilled. The holes were recommended by Micon
International Ltd which is currently preparing an updated
independent National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 resource calculation
on Tortigny.
The results from all previous holes drilled on the Tortigny
deposit have been announced in earlier news releases. A number of
high grade sections from these are presently being re-assayed for
confirmation for inclusion in the updated 43-101. The re-assay
results will be released when available.
The significant intersections are listed in Table 1 below.

Hole To-13-02 confirms the high grade nature of the hinge
portion of the deposit. Narrower and lower grade stringers on
either side of the high grade core offers possibilities for
important mineralization to be explored beyond the core.
Hole To-13-01 was drilled to intersect the deposit below any
previous drilling at this location. It intersected 2.76 metres of
1.37% copper, 1.93% zinc, 34.15 g/t silver and 0.24 g/t gold.
Evaluation and advancement of the Tortigny project will continue
with down hole geophysics and drilling to expand the resource. The
environment is highly prospective for expansion and locating more
base metal deposits.
The Tortigny deposit was the subject of an independent National
Instrument ("NI") 43-101 resource calculation which was filed on
Sedar on January 11, 2013. Based on the calculation the deposit
contains total measured and indicated resources of 845,000 tonnes
grading 2.01% Copper, 4.29% Zinc, 55.29 g/t Silver and 0.39 g/t
Gold. An updated 43-101 resource calculation is scheduled for
completion in three months.
Quality
Control
Core processing included descriptive logging and systematic
sampling for analysis. Every sampled interval was split in half
with a core splitter or cut with a diamond blade saw. Half of any
sampled core was left in the core box for future reference and the
remaining half was bagged and sealed and sent to a commercial
laboratory. Quality control samples (duplicate, blanks and
standards) were systematically inserted in the sequence. Assays are
performed at ALS CHEMEX Laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec which is
is certified for ISO9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards. 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.
