	    BW 97 returned good gold values from surface to about 200 metres deep,
with scattered gold mineralization deeper in the hole. BW 97 is south of
mineralization known to date and extends the mineralized zone southwest. It
leaves open possibility of further extension.
	    BW 93 and 94 are 50 m apart and about 150 metres west of BW 97. Both
holes returned gold in narrow ore grade intervals over much of their depth,
but both are less strongly mineralized than elsewhere. The holes define lower
grade mineralization within the larger mineralized zone.
	    BW 95, southwest of the mineralized zone, returned mineralized
intersections between 100 and 240 metres deep. As with BW 53, an earlier hole
drilled in this area, it suggests mineralization may weaken in this direction.
	    BW 96 is north of known mineralization in the Jarrit claim. Between 220
and 340 m deep gold values are anomalous;  the rocks are strongly silicified
reflecting the alteration associated with the Blackwater deposit.
	    Peter Bernier, President and CEO observed "We are encouraged by the 170
metres of near 1 g/t material in BW 97. It extends the zone southward and
leaves space for expansion there. These latest five drill holes show that we
continue drilling within the gold system."
	    Upon completion of BW 115 and 116 in mid-December, Richfield will be
breaking for the holidays until late January. Results for the remaining 19
holes will be released as they are received.
	    Drill map, sections and strip logs for individual holes reported herein
will be posted on the company website.

reported are drill widths; true widths are unknown. Assays are uncut,
length-weighted average values.
	    Quality Assurance
	    Richfield has implemented a rigorous quality assurance/quality control
program at the Blackwater property using best industry practice and supervised
by Dirk Tempelman-Kluit. The program includes chain of custody of samples from
drill to laboratory. Drill core is sawn in half at the property and for each
sample half of the core from one metre intervals is placed in plastic bags and
sealed. The remainder is retained in core boxes stored at the project camp.
	    A standard sample, a blank sample, or a duplicate sample is inserted into
the sample stream every tenth sample. Three certified ore assay laboratory
standards are used in the program, and are supplied by CDN Resource
Laboratories Ltd., an independent laboratory located in Langley, BC. Samples
including the blanks, standards and duplicates, are shipped by bonded courier
to Eco Tech Stewart Group Laboratories in Kamloops, BC, an internationally
recognized analytical services provider. Rejects selected at random are sent
to Acme Labs of Vancouver, BC for check assays. In total 246 quality control
samples (12.8 % of all 1918 samples) were analyzed. Richfield detected no
significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.
