September 21,2009: Quesnel, BC, Canada: Richfield Ventures Corp. (TSX-V:RVC) “Richfield” or “the Company” is pleased to announce assay results for three further diamond drill holes (BW 44,45 and 46) of its 15 hole fall program on the Blackwater project in the Nechako Plateau of Central BC.

The three holes reported herein form a 268 m long fence with BW 44 and 45 at the north end on the Davidson property, and BW 46 in the south on the Dave property. Both properties are under option to Richfield, which may acquire a 75% interest in the Davidson property from Silver Quest Resources,(NR March 23/09) and a 100% interest in the Dave property from private parties,(NR May 12/09).

BW 46 (400 Metres south of BW 42) was drilled vertically and cut gold values over the full length of the hole averaging 1.06 g/t Au for the 207.25 metres intersected. Within this are several intervals of significantly higher grade, including 7 metres, averaging 7.76 g/t Au from 186 to 193 metres, also between 33 and 88 metres are 55 metres at 1.69 g/t Au. And near the bottom of the hole is a 37 metre interval which averages 2.01 g/t Au. There is also a one metre interval with 151 g/t Ag, with 1.18 g/t Au, between 21 and 22 metres depth. (Averages reported are length weighted; widths reported are drill widths.)

BW 44, a vertical hole south of the Gold Zone, averages 13.49 g/t Au and 7.3 g/t over 3 metres between 145 and 148 metres. This is within a 26 metre interval averaging 2.19 g/t Au and 3.2 g/t Ag. Both are inside an 89 metre interval which averages 1.01 g/t Au and 2.7 g/t Ag.

BW 45 was collared 250 m south of the Gold Zone and drilled north at 50 degrees. It intersects gold, silver, lead and zinc values from the collar to the bottom at 186.5 metres. Between 92 and 93 metres is 1 metre of 8.96 g/t Au with 5.2 g/t Ag and at the bottom of the hole are 45.5 metres of 0.52 g/t Au and 2.3 g/t Ag.

All holes intersect highly silicified and argillically altered brecciated and microbrecciated volcanic rocks with 1 or 2 % widely disseminated pyrite and sphalerite. Brecciation, silicification and clay alteration are intense and the original rock type is obscure.

Peter Bernier, President and CEO commented “To be 400 m from the gold zone and to drill a vertical hole with gold from the collar to the bottom is great news for the company and its shareholders.”

Quality assurance

The assays have been verified by evaluating them next to assays of duplicate samples, certified standards and blanks to ensure accuracy and reproducibility. Richfield’s rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at the Blackwater property uses best industry practice and is supervised by Dirk Tempelman-Kluit. It includes chain of custody of samples from drill to laboratory. Drill core is sawn in half lengthwise at the property and for each sample half of the core from one metre intervals is placed in plastic bags and sealed. A certified standard sample, supplied by an independent laboratory, a blank sample or a duplicate sample is inserted into the sample stream every tenth sample. Samples including the blanks and standards, are shipped by courier to Eco Tech Stewart Group Laboratories in Kamloops, B.C. Duplicate samples are shipped by courier to Acme Laboratories, Vancouver for analysis.
