VANCOUVER, May 31, 2012 /CNW/ - Mr. Chris England, President and CEO of Silver Fields Resources Inc., is pleased to announce the Company has determined the snow pack on Mount Richter has melted to the point where equipment and personnel can be mobilized in preparation for the 2012 exploration season.

Silver Fields' primary mineral property is known as the Keremeos Silver Project and is located on Mount Richter, between Keremeos and Osoyoos in the Similkameen Mining District of British Columbia. The property consists of 15 mineral claim tenures, encompassing 2,048 Hectares (4,506 acres).

2011 saw extensive work being conducted on the Project, which has returned significant silver and gold values from several new mineralized areas, namely the "Cow Trail Vein" (3.67 g/t gold, 1625 g/t silver); the " Silver Fields Vein" (5.69 g/t gold, 956 g/t silver); and the "Tire Line Vein" ( 54.10 g/t gold). Assays are pending on the "B" Vein", and the "Kohler Vein". The property also encompasses the former Dankoe-Utica Silver Mine, which according to the B.C. Government Minfiles, produced 433,396 tonnes of ore from which approximately 127 million grams (4,089,409 oz) of silver, 333 thousand grams (10,706 oz) of gold, plus copper, lead and zinc were extracted.

Results from these areas have been described in detail in several Stockwatch news releases during 2011 and are displayed on Silver Fields' Website www.silverfieldsresources.com.

The exploration plans for 2012 include mechanized trenching and sampling as well as up to 2000 metres of drilling as recommended by Mr. Peter Folk, P.Eng., who was part of the management team of the former Dankoe-Utica Silver Mine, and Silver Fields' project geologist. Mr. Folk is also a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. As well, one of the portals of the former Dankoe mine will be opened and secured, after which, an underground program will be carried out to geologically map and sample the underground workings where accessible.

The permitting process was completed in late February, and management is working closely with the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, who are concerned primarily with land use and the potential of environmental damage and subsequent reclamation of the impacted areas. Silver Fields and the Band Council have agreed on a "Strategic Alliance" which will allow close scrutiny by a designated Band Member of any exploration work to be conducted.
