VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Feb. 21, 2017) – Anfield Gold Corp. (“Anfield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:ANF) is pleased to report on progress at its 100% owned Coringa Gold Project (the “Project”) in Para State, Brazil.

The Company has made significant progress towards the goal of advancing the Project into production. The disassembly and relocation of the Andorinhas Plant purchased from Troy Resources has been completed. The majority of the plant and mining equipment has been moved to the Project. Major plant components such as crushers, compressors, ball mills and mining equipment have been refurbished and are ready for installation. A detailed CIL plant design for construction is well advanced, and the tailings storage facility final design is near completion. Procurement of long lead time and critical components of the plant has been initiated.

In support of this work and towards completion of the Project feasibility study, site characterization, metallurgical, geotechnical, hydrogeologic and condemnation drilling has been completed. In addition, site infrastructure and ancillary facility construction is well advanced including: construction of project camp, office and maintenance facilities, upgrading and improvement of Project access roads including construction of storm water control structures.

The 20,000 metre infill drilling program has been expanded to approximately 26,500 metres and, to date, the Company has completed 23,417m of this drilling. The infill drilling program is expected to be completed in March and results will be used to finalize the feasibility study resource model, mine design and schedule. The company has also completed other types of drilling at the project in support of the feasibility study and these are summarized in Table 1.

The Company expects to complete the Project feasibility study in the second quarter of 2017. Geology, engineering, environmental and social studies supporting the study are ongoing. Reassembly of the plant and mine development at the Project will begin once detailed engineering is complete and the required permits are obtained.

The Company has applied for trial mining licenses to allow for initial construction and installation of the plant at the Project, underground mine development, pilot scale mining and the sale of gold, and expects to receive the licenses shortly. In addition, permitting efforts are ongoing to obtain the mining concession license and related operating licenses for the Project. These will allow for the planned full scale production rate of 750 tonnes of mineral reserve per day.
