Seafield Provides Gold Assay Results From Elora Drill Program

Wed Nov 12, 1:13 PM

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2008) - Seafield Resources Ltd. ("Seafield" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SFF.V) is pleased to report assay results from its summer drill program on the Jubilee gold zone at the Elora Project, near Dryden in NW Ontario.

The nine hole, 2,306 metre program was designed to test down plunge from previous high grade intercepts on the Jubilee zone as well as to explore the zone and an adjacent structure along strike to the north.

\The best intersection of the program was on hole E-08-33 with 34.9 g/t Au over 2.8 m within a broader zone of mineralization which returned 15.5 g/t Au over 6.9 m.

The intersections of the current drill holes and their relationship to earlier holes drilled to test the Jubilee zone can be viewed on a longitudinal section which can be found on the Company website at www.sffresources.com.

Drill holes E-08-31, E-08-32 and E-08-33 were drilled on the same grid section (1020N) to test down plunge from a higher grade shoot interpreted from earlier drilling at a shallower depth on the Jubilee zone. The best intersection was on the deepest hole on this section, E-08-33, with 34.9 g/t Au over 2.8 m within a broader zone of mineralization (15.5 g/t Au over 6.9 m). Also hole E-08-32 which intersected the zone some 30 m vertically above returned 14.6 g/t Au over 0.3 m within a broader zone of 4.25 g/t Au over 2.85 m. Further drilling is being planned to test this shoot below 200 m depth.

Holes E-08-34 and 35 (drilled on section 1110N located some 90 m along strike to the north) also intersected the Jubilee zone down to about 250 m vertical depth but returned lower gold values.

Holes E-08-36 and 37 (drilled from the same location on section 1300N, a further 190 m along strike to the north) intersected the Jubilee zone with E-08-36 returning 12.35 g/t Au over 0.8 m. On this most northerly drill section on the hanging-wall (east) side of the Jubilee zone, a new mineralized zone (M zone), characterized by quartz-sericite-fuchsite (green mica) altered mafic volcanics with associated quartz veining and minor pyrite was noted in both E-08-36 and 37. The zone is characterized by a large volume ( greater than 35%) of milk white to grey-white, bullish quartz veining up to 3 metres wide with varying amounts (nil to 10%) of altered, included wall-rock fragments. Pyrite occurs as fine to medium grained disseminations (trace to 2%) within altered volcanic inclusions. Although the gold content was low at 1.4 g/t Au in both holes, the zone measures 9 m thick and warrants further testing.

In addition to the intersections on the Jubilee zone, most of the holes intersected narrow, gold mineralized structures in both the hanging-wall and foot-wall to the Jubilee zone. Those with values over 1 g/t Au are also listed in the table above to demonstrate that the Jubilee zone is part of a broader gold mineralized system.

Holes E-08-38 and 39 were drilled to test an induced polarization (IP) anomalous zone parallel to and west of the Jubilee zone. The IP anomaly is interpreted to be due to a series of spaced, relatively narrow, pyrite and pyrrhotite-rich structures and quartz veins which returned no significant gold values.

A new drill program is under consideration to follow up on the encouraging results from the Jubilee zone and M zone described above.

All samples were delivered to Accurassay Laboratories, Thunder Bay, Ontario, an ISO 17025 certified laboratory, for assay using standard fire assay techniques with atomic absorption finish. Rejects and pulps of the samples are stored at the laboratory in Thunder Bay.

Geol., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
