(TSXV:ETF) \"Eastfield\" (TSX-V: ETF) is pleased to provide an update on four of its five active exploration projects including sampling results from a new geophysical and geochemical grid established at its 40% owned Okeover project. In addition to Okeover, exploration is currently underway at the company's flagship Zymo copper-gold project (see news release of September 1, 2010 for details). New exploration programs will soon be initiated at Indata, Kilometre 26, and Iron Lake, all of which are accessible year-round.The 5,836-hectare Okeover (\"OK\") project is owned 40% by Eastfield and 60% with joint venture partner Prophecy Resource Corp. (TSXV:PCY) (TSX-V: PCY) and is located in southwestern British Columbia near Powell River (approximately 100 kilometres north of Vancouver). Eastfield and Prophecy are part way through a program of new grid establishment, soil sampling and induced polarization surveying. This year, approximately 20 kilometres of new grid has been cut and soil sampled with induced polarization surveying to occur later in the season. The 2010 program was designed to explore outbound from the North Lake Zone where a mineral resource of 86.8 million tonnes grading 0.31% copper and 0.014% MoS2 was evaluated by N.C. Carter, Ph.D., P. Eng in 2006. Three significant new soil anomalies are evident in the 2010 work. A very strong soil anomaly is indicated starting approximately 200 metres north of the current North Lake Zone and extending a further 600 metres. This anomaly averages 250 metres in width and occurs on three consecutive lines defined by soils which are predominantly greater than 500 ppm copper and as high a 4,146 ppm copper. High soil copper values are generally mirrored with high molybdenum values with several samples exceeding 75 ppm Molybdenum. No drilling has ever been completed in this anomaly although a single hole is located approximately 150 metres east of the eastern boundary of this anomaly (hole 72-15 with an intercept of 59.5 metres grading 0.29% Cu and 0.027% MoS2). A second new soil anomaly is located approximately 1,200 metres north of the current North Lake Zone. This anomaly is expre...
