Richfield Ventures Corp. Receives Drilling Permit for the "Blackwater" Gold Project, B.C. -- Drilling to recommence in early April
March 30, 2010 - Quesnel, BC: Richfield Ventures Corp. (TSX.V:RVC) "Richfield" or the "Company" is pleased to announce that it has received a drilling permit for the first stage (Phase 1) of its planned 2010 drill program on the Blackwater Davidson bulk tonnage gold discovery located south of Vanderhoof, B.C. The first drill will be mobilized on or about April 6th 2010. The 17 km access road to the property from the main Kluskus logging road has been cleared of snow and the camp from last season has been reestablished.
The first drill hole will deepen the final hole drilled last season, hole BW 59 (on optioned ground from Silver Quest Resources Limited - NR March 23, 2009), which averaged 1.25g/t Au over 329 metres and it ended in 5 metres of 9 g/t Au (see news release dated January 5th 2010). Previous holes are mostly angle holes between 100 and 200 metres deep and a significant number of these holes ended in gold mineralization.
The Phase 1 drilling plan comprises approximately 10,000 metres of core drilling (20 holes) to test for possible extensions of the mineralization to the northwest, southwest, south and east of the deep discovery hole. These holes will be drilled vertically to depths of 500 to 600 metres from surface.
Richfield has acquired a 30-man camp suitable for year-round work. A permit for this camp has been submitted and when received the camp will be moved on site. This will allow the company to service multiple drills and explore on a year round basis.
A second stage (Phase 2) drill program is also planned to include 15,000 metres of systematic drilling on 50 metre spaced centres to establish a 43-101 compliant resource. This program will begin after the camp has been set up in late May 2010 and is expected to be completed by Q4 2010. A first phase of metallurgical test work will be undertaken by Inspectorate America Corp. located in Richmond, British Columbia.
Richfield Ventures Corp. is also pleased to announce that it has retained Axemen Resource Capital Ltd. as a financial consultant. Axemen Resource Capital Ltd. is a Vancouver-based Exempt Market Dealer focused on advising and financing junior mining exploration and development companies.
