OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 12, 2011) - Beaufield Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BFD) is pleased to report that a summer field program has commenced on its 100% owned Schefferville Iron property in Quebec. A budget of approximately $1,500,000 has been allocated to carry out an extensive prospecting, soil sampling and drill program on the property.
An airborne FALCON Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey was flown in the fall of 2010 and detected 20 high gravity anomalies associated with low magnetic values located on ground mapped to underlain by the Sokoman Iron formation. A ground gravity survey was completed on selected airborne targets and demonstrated the validity of the airborne gravity anomalies.
The AGG survey has also delineated 8 prospective SEDEX zinc targets located within the vicinity of Leroy Lake where assays from bottom lake sediments from a Quebec government survey returned highly anomalous values in zinc and are comparable to some of the stream sediments that lead to the discovery of the giant Red Dog deposit in Alaska. There is no certainty further exploration will lead to discovery of similar mineralization.
Beaufield's 100% owned Schefferville expansive property is situated within the central portion of the Schefferville iron ore district and adjacent New Millenium (NML-V) , Tata Steel Minerals , Labrador Iron Mines (LIM-T) , Champion Minerals (CHM-T) and Century Iron (FER-V). Several of these neighbours have announced imminent iron ore production which will greatly improve to the existing infrastructure. The Beaufield property is accessible by several dirt roads, linking it to the town of Schefferville. It is located 10 kilometres northwest of Schefferville and extends for 40 kilometres in a northeasterly direction.
This press release was prepared by Jens E. Hansen P. Eng, President of Beaufield Resources Inc., the Qualified Person under section 43-101.
