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, Includin...

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 Quinchia 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 mapping, soil
sampling, trenching and geophysics. These initial drill results suggest the
potential for another significant mineralized body within the Company's Quinchia
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.

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.
