-- the Binghampton Copper Queen ("BCQ") property is a volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project covering 7.8 square miles in the northern Arizona VMS Belt
-- data was generated over a 23-year period beginning in the early 1970s
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--TNW-ACCESSWIRE--May 20, 2014--Anfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ARY)(OTC: ANLDF) ("Anfield" or "the Company") announces that it has acquired data for its Arizona copper project located within the Arizona VMS Belt. The Arizona VMS Belt contains 70 known deposits including 48 past and present producers. According to reports from the Arizona Geological Survey, combined historical production was 55.8 million tons with average grades of 3.6% copper, 0.2% lead and 0.9% zinc. The largest mine within the VMS Belt, the United Verde mine in Jerome, produced 33.5 million tons at 4.36% copper. Four other deposits in the area produced in excess of one million tons of copper.
The data consists of information generated by American Selco and Resource Exploration and Development Company from exploration activities performed between 1973 and 1996, and covers multiple locations within the project area, including the Binghampton, Copper Queen, Belgium, Half Moon, and Copper Mountain mines, as well as other potential acquisition targets not currently held by the Company.
The data acquisition helps to supplement the robust data the Company currently possesses on Copper Queen with new data for the Binghampton mine and surrounding areas. The geological data consists of:
-
-- 14 bound and completed reports, including drill logs, intercepts and location information;
-- over 70 geological maps or plates, including maps of underground mine workings;
-- airborne geophysical surveys, which include HLEM, VLF, IP and resistivity data; and
-- significant surface and geochemical sampling results
"We are excited to have acquired more information on properties within this extraordinary copper production area," commented Corey Dias, Anfield's Chief Executive Officer. "The data has the potential to not only reduce our exploration and development costs at BCQ and accelerate our timeline to define an NI 43-101 compliant copper resource, but also help us to delineate areas for further exploration activities and help us to pinpoint future acquisition targets."

-- Anfield's uranium assets include mining claims and state leases in southeastern Utah, Colorado and Arizona totalling over 17,500 acres (7,082 hectares), targeting areas where past uranium mining or prospecting occurred within a potential shipping radius to the White Mesa Mill, the only operating conventional uranium mill in the US.
-- The Binghampton Copper Queen (BCQ) project, located 17 miles (27 km) southeast of Prescott, Arizona, and within the Arizona VMS Belt, consists of 5,021 acres (2,032 hectares) of both patented and State land, with two past-producing mines on the property.
-
-- The North Star Copper Project, located less than 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Tucson, consisting of 200 mining claims covering approximately 4,000 acres (1,619 hectares), targets relatively shallow oxide copper at the historic North Star site in the heart of copper country in southern Arizona.
-- The Aura Project, a nascent copper production operation in Atacama, Chile, is located 20 miles (32 km) east of Copiapo and consists of eight mining concessions totalling over 2,800 acres (1,133 hectares) in one of the foremost copper producing regions in the world.
