    MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 22, 2014) - Beaufield Resources Inc. ("Beaufield" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:BFD) is pleased to announce the results from its 2014 field season on its 100% owned Éleonore-Opinaca property. The property is located in the James Bay Area, Quebec.

    The property occupies a very strategic position between Goldcorp's Éléonore soon-to-be-opened world class Gold mine which will be Quebec's largest, and Virginia's Regional property (one of Quebec's most successful explorers). Beaufield's property covers more than 77 square kilometers, is surrounded on three sides by Goldcorp's Éléonore mine property and shares a 42 km long border with Goldcorp. To the West of the Beaufield ground, Virginia is actively exploring a property which covers in excess of 700 square km. Beaufield's Éléonore-Opinaca property is shown on the adjoining area map and is also available on Beaufield's web site. It shows the key central location of the property.

    The two-week work program consisted of prospecting and sampling in the northern portion of the property where bedrock is scarce and overburden cover is predominant. To assist with prospecting, a beep-mat was used to help identify conductive bedrock and boulders which may be blanketed by the overburden.

    A total of 16 grab samples* were collected and results are listed in table 1 below. The best result is from a newly discovered outcrop that assayed 1.95% Cu, 28.2 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au on a peninsula known as the Snoopy area. Five other showings are located within a roughly 10 acres size area. The samples taken from these showings have assayed gold values ranging from 2 to 6.5 g/t Au and up to 12% Molybdenum ("Mo"). Anomalous copper is also prevalent. The type of lithology and mineralization encountered and the geological context indicates that this may be porphyry-style mineralization. This suggests in addition to the potential for an Éleonore-type deposit on the Beaufield ground, the potential for a porphyry-style gold-copper-silver-molybdenum formation.

    *Grab samples collected are selective in nature and are unlikely to be representative of the average grades of mineralized zones.

    A boulder assaying 4.22 g/t gold was also discovered further east where no outcrops are present.

    A soil survey was also conducted on the northwestern portion of the property. A total of 100 B-horizon soil samples were taken and assayed. Several of the samples returned anomalous gold values, with one sample reaching 0.2 g/t Au which is a very high value for a soil sample.
