NEWS RELEASE
Eastfield Resources Announces Drill Plans for South Breccia Zone at Okeover CopperMolybdenum Property
Eastfield Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ETF) and option partner Prophecy Resource Corp. (TSX-V: PCY) have
received the final drill results from the June 2007 drill program completed at the Okeover copper/molybdenum
porphyry prospect located on the southern British Columbia coast. The final three holes from the seven hole
program, all of which were reconnaissance in nature and located several kilometres from the North Lake Zone,
encountered favourable rock types but with only weak copper and molybdenum mineralization.
By contrast, the first four holes reported on July 27, 2007 encountered strong mineralization and have confirmed
that the North Lake Zone is open for expansion in several directions including to depth. Two highlights from the
June 2007 program include:
Hole
OK-07-04
OK-07-02
Interval
76 metres
23 metres
Grades
0.34% Cu and 0.027% MoS2.
0.24% Cu and 0.031% MoS2.
Hole OK-07-02 is a 350-metre step-out drilled to the east of the North Lake Zone with the mineralization
occurring at the bottom of the hole, indicating a large new prospective area to expand the existing North Lake
Zone, where, in 2006, N.C. Carter, PhD, P.Eng, completed a technical report on the Okeover Property pursuant to
National Instrument 43-101 that estimated an inferred mineral resource of 86.8 million tonnes grading 0.31%
copper (approximately 593,000,000 lbs.) and 0.014% MoS2 (approximately 15.9 million lbs of molybdenum).
Molybdenum grade also appears to be increasing in this direction.
The next round of drilling will begin with site preparation projected to be finished by the end of September, with
drilling anticipated to begin as equipment becomes available in October. The October drill program will focus on
continuing to delineate the North Lake Zone and will also explore the South Breccia area, which has not had
significant exploration for more than ten years.
The South Breccia area is a hydrothermal breccia first recognized in 1979. Between 1966 and 1977, seven
corporations, including Noranda, Falconbridge and Asarco Exploration completed 14,000 metres of diamond
drilling at Okeover. In 1979, two years following these campaigns, logging activities exposed the south Breccia
Zone approximately 3.5 kilometres south of the North Lake Zone. In 1979, Aquarius Resources Ltd. completed
three holes in this then newly discovered area (205 metres in total) with results which included 1.49% Copper
over 9 metres in hole 79-2 and 0.49% Copper over 21 metres in hole 79-3. In 1996, Canquest Resource Corp.
drilled a single 154 metre deep hole with the strongest mineralization in that hole (0.21% Cu) occurring at the
bottom. A review of this drill hole indicates that it may have stopped short (to the east) of the South Breccia
Zone. Geological mapping of the area peripheral to the South Breccia discovery outcrop indicates that brecciation
and silicification extend over an area of at least 300 metres by 600 metres, offering substantial potential for
discovery.
Samples were analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories, an (ISO) 9001:2000 certified facility located in
Vancouver, BC, using multielement ICP/ES techniques with one company standard inserted for every 30 samples
analyzed.
J.W. (Bill) Morton, P.Geo., a director of the Company and qualified person within the context of National
Instrument 43-101, has read and takes responsibility for this news release. A Technical Report on the Okeover
property, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and dated October 5 2006, is available on SEDAR and at

About the Okeover Property:
The Okeover property is located twenty-five kilometres north of the City of Powell River, British Columbia
and several kilometres east of Okeover Inlet, extending southerly from tidewater on Theodosia Inlet. The
property consists of fourteen claims covering 5,233 hectares of land. Access is by way of 30 kilometres of
highway and secondary logging roads from Powell River. Okeover is currently under option to Prophecy
Resource Corporation who can earn a 60% interest in the project by completing $1,000,000 in exploration
before March 8, 2010. Work funded by Prophecy in 2006 outlined a new copper-molybdenum soil anomaly
over a substantial area approximately 1.5 kilometres to the northwest of the North Lake Zone.
About Eastfield Resources:
Since its inception in 1987, Eastfield Resources has utilized a successful business strategy that involves securing
third party exploration financing the majority of its projects. At present, Eastfield has seven projects located in
British Columbia of which three will have 100% of exploration funded by partners to the sum of ± $2,000,000.
These optioned projects include Okeover, optioned by Prophecy Resource Corp. (TSX-V: PCY), Indata optioned
by Redzone Resources Ltd. (CNQ: REDZ) and Lorraine-Jajay, optioned by Teck-Cominco Limited (TSX:
TCK.B). Eastfield will be funding the start of exploration at the newly acquired Zymo copper-gold-silver
property, located west of Smithers in British Columbia.
