OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 27, 2011) - Beaufield Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators) is pleased to report that a ground gravity survey covering 12 targets is underway on its 100% owned Schefferville Iron property in Quebec. The survey follows-up on an interpretation by Condor Consulting and by geophysical consultant Jean Hubert of an airborne FALCON Gravity Gradiometer survey flown in the fall of 2010. The detailed interpretation has indicated more than 20 high gravity anomalies associated with low magnetic values located on ground believed to be underlain by the Sokoman Iron formation (refer to the attached figure). These types of anomalies are considered excellent targets for locating enriched Direct Shipping Ore ("DSO") iron oxide deposits.
The interpretation has also delineated 8 prospective SEDEX zinc targets located within the vicinity of Leroy Lake where assays from bottom lake sediments returned highly anomalous values in Zinc and are comparable to stream sediments that lead to the discovery of the giant Red Dog deposit in Alaska.
The ground gravity survey will assist in the selection of drill targets for a planned 2011 summer/fall drill program. A geological field exploration program is scheduled to begin in early June.
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.
This press release was prepared by Jens E. Hansen P. Eng, President of Beaufield Resources Inc., the Qualified Person under section 43-101.
