NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION INTO THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Anfield Gold Corp. ("Anfield") (TSX VENTURE:ANF) is pleased to announce that it has increased the size of its proposed non-brokered private placement previously announced on August 22, 2016, to up to 23,703,703 common shares in the capital of Anfield (the "Shares") at a price of CDN $1.35 per Share to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately CDN $32 million (the "Private Placement").

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for costs associated with the development of Anfield's Coringa Gold Project ("Coringa") and general working capital purposes.

Certain insiders of Anfield will be participating in the Private Placement. The Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and majority of the minority requirements applicable to related party transactions as set out in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions as the aggregate fair market value of the Shares to be purchased by insiders pursuant to the Private Placement is less than 25% of Anfield's market capitalization.

The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, and all Shares issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period under applicable securities laws.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to persons in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
