Richfield Announces Private Placement

 June 10, 2009 - Quesnel, British Columbia: Richfield Ventures Corp. ("Richfield" or the "Company") announced a private placement offering to raise gross proceeds of up to $750,000 from the sale of flow- through units and common share units.

Flow through Units:
Up to 3,000,000 "flow-through units" priced at $0.17 per flow-through unit. Each of these units will consist of one flow-through share and one-half non flow-through warrant. Each non flow-through share purchase warrant will allow the holder to purchase one common share in Richfield for a period of two years from closing at a price of $0.22 per share in the first year and $0.30 per share in the second year, subject to early expiry on the occurrence of a "trigger event".

Common share units:
Up to 2,000,000 "common share units" priced at $0.12 per common share unit. Each of these units will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant will allow the holder to purchase one common share in Richfield for a period of two years from closing at a price of $0.17 per share in the first year and $0.25 per share in the second year, subject to early expiry on the occurrence of a "trigger event".

A "triggering event" shall occur when the volume-weighted trading price is greater than double the applicable warrant exercise price for a period of twenty consecutive trading days. The Company may give notice to the holders by way of a news release of the occurrence of a trigger event, in which case the warrants shall expire within thirty days of the date of dissemination of the news release.

The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. A finders fee may be
payable on a portion of the financing. The proceeds of the private placement financing will be
used by the Company for general working capital and to fund its summer drill program on the
Blackwater Project.
