Beaufield Resources Inc. ("Beaufield" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BFD) is
pleased to announce the start of a helicopter electromagnetic survey over
several portions of its 100% owned Troilus property, located 150km north of
Chibougamau, Quebec. The survey will focus on previously identified geophysical
targets located in the vicinity of the Tortigny high-grade volcanic massive
sulphides ("VMS") deposit, on which a resource calculation has just been
released (see press release November 28th, 2012).


The Company has also staked a number of new claims in the vicinity of the
Tortigny deposit. Beaufield has identified the area as having a high potential
for finding additional VMS type mineralisation and the new ground will improve
the likelihood of success in finding new mineral resources in the area. 


Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario ("Geotech") will complete the 708
line-kilometre, helicopter-borne versatile time-domain electromagnetic
("VTEM(plus)") and magnetic gradiometer survey. The detailed survey with 100
metre line spacing will cover eight distinct blocks, centered over high priority
Electromagnetic, MegaTEM anomalies located in the vicinity of Tortigny deposit
area. Geotech's VTEM(plus) system has been shown to be excellent at identifying
conductive, massive-sulphide bodies as well as mapping lateral and vertical
variations in resistivity. The VTEM system is also equipped with a high
sensitivity magnetometer which can aid in mapping geologic structures and
lithology. This type of survey is known for its exceptional depth penetration
and provides a more accurate definition of targets than conventional systems. 


The Tortigny deposit, containing Measured and Indicated Resources of 845,000
tonnes grading 2.01% Copper, 4.29% Zinc, 55.29 g/t Silver, 0.39 g/t Gold (NI
43-101 Compliant), has a strong geophysical signature, highly visible, on a
previous VTEM survey conducted by Geotech for Noranda Inc in 2004. Based on the
previous success Beaufield considers that the VTEM technology is the best tool
available for prospecting for massive sulphides in the Troilus Project vicinity.



The newly completed resource estimate on the Tortigny deposit encouraged
Beaufield to strengthen their land position in the area by map-staking 83 new
claims, totaling 4483.24 hectares. The new claims are primarily located over
previously identified MegaTEM targets which may indicate the presence of
conductive material, such as massive sulphides. In most mining districts, VMS
deposits tend to occur in clusters and Beaufield's geological team believes this
is the case for the Troilus property. 


This news release has been prepared by David Rivard, P.Geo., Vice-President
Exploration of Beaufield, Qualified Person under section 43-101.
