TSX‐V: SFFFor Immediate ReleaseSeafield Intersects 167.75 Metres of 1.05 g/t Gold, Including 44.10 Metres of 2.94 g/tGold at its Miraflores Deposit in the Quinchia District of Risaralda, ColombiaToronto, Ontario, January 25, 2012 ‐ Seafield Resources Ltd. (“Seafield” or “theCompany”) (TSX‐V: SFF) is pleased to report additional drill results from the Company’scurrent diamond drilling program at its Miraflores Deposit located in the Quinchiadistrict of the department of Risaralda, Colombia.Highlights: QM‐DH‐24 intersected 167.75 metres of 1.05 g/t Au, including 44.10 metres of2.94 g/t Au QM‐DH‐25 intersected 161.00 metres at 0.78 g/t Au, including 36.30 metres at0.95 g/t Au and 6.45 metres at 3.02 g/t Au Drill holes QM‐DH‐24 confirms the continuity of mineralization at depth and QM‐DH‐25 extends the mineralization of the Miraflores breccia pipe to thesouthwest, outside of the current resource model.Seafield’s Miraflores Deposit is situated in the Company’s 100%‐owned, 6,757‐hectareQuinchia Gold Project. Miraflores’ deposit is a low sulphidation epithermal deposit‐located in Colombia’s mineral‐prolific Mid‐Cauca gold belt. The deposit’s mineralizationis characterized by a hydrothermal breccia pipe with free gold associated with cementmaterials and high grade structures where gold is associated with zinc, lead, copper andiron. At surface, the breccia pipe has a drill‐tested diameter of 250 metres by 280metres. The breccia pipe widens and is open at depth with a current drill‐tested verticalextent of 600 metres.The purpose of drill holes QM‐DH‐24 and QM‐DH‐25 is to test the southern extent ofthe breccia pipe’s mineralization. Drill hole QM‐DH‐25 confirms the extension of thebreccia pipe to the southwest, increasing the resource potential of the MirafloresDeposit. QM‐DH‐25 also confirms the continuity of mineralization 50 metres south ofdrill hole QM‐DH‐11 (369.7 metres at 1.0 g/t Au – Press Release February 14, 2011) and1

The resource estimate wasbased on 7,757 metres of drilling with 22 diamond drill holes and 154 undergroundchannel samples. Since then, the Company has completed an additional 7,485 metres of2

Dr. Henricksen verifiedthe data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and test dataunderlying the information contained in this release. Verification included a review andvalidation of the applicable assay databases and reviews of assay certificates.The core samples were split by rock saw, and half of the core was sampled. Coresamples were prepared by SGS laboratory in Medellin and were assayed at the SGSlaboratory in Lima, Peru. Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30 gram sample withatomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS) finish. Samples above 5.0 g/t Au wererepeated by fire assay on a 30 gram sample with gravimetric finish. Multi‐elements wereanalyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP‐MS) following multi‐acid4
