Prosperity Goldfields Corp. (the "Company" or "Prosperity") (TSX VENTURE:PPG)
reports that assay results have been received from three holes of the recently
completed 12 hole spring drill program on its 100 percent owned Kiyuk Lake gold
property (the "Property") located in southern Nunavut.
Three holes were drilled at the Rusty zone and intersected multiple zones of
gold mineralization (Table 1). Significant intercepts include:
-- 19.5 m at 3.5 g/t Au from 19.5 m and 61.5 m at 3.3 g/t Au from 159 m,
including 7.5 m at 3.7 g/t Au; and 15.0 m at 6.7 g/t Au in hole KI12-
003;
-- 18 m at 3.5 g/t Au from 156.5 m and 22.5 m at 1.8 g/t Au from 218.0 m in
hole KI12-002; and
-- 23 m at 1.5 g/t Au from 81.5 m and 10.5 m at 4.6 g/t Au from 128.5 m in
hole KI12-001.
"These excellent early results confirm the potential of the Rusty Zone which was
discovered by the last hole of the 2011 drill campaign," comments Adrian
Fleming, Prosperity CEO. "Grades in the breccia are very consistent and extend
over significant widths. More importantly with an aggressive 200 m step out we
continued to find well mineralized breccia. Since the mineralization contains
magnetic minerals, magnetite and pyrrhotite, the magnetic data strongly suggests
mineralization extending over at least 200 m along strike. The Rusty Zone is
still open in all directions. It is now a major target for the summer drill
program."
"I am looking forward to the assays from the remaining nine holes of this latest
drill program."
These holes were designed to follow-up on mineralization intersected during the
2011 summer drill program in hole RU11-001 which intersected 37.8 m at 4.2 g/t
Au(1) from 2 m. Hole KI12-001 was collared 50 m to the west of RU11-001 (see
Figure 1 and Figure 2). The drill was then moved 200 m to the south and
completed KI12-002 and KI12-003 (see Figure 1 and Figure 3). The location and
orientation information for the drill holes are shown in the Table 2.

The objective of the 2012 spring drill program was to build on the three gold
discoveries made in 2011 (see Prosperity News Release dated February 21, 2012).
The plan for the spring program was to further evaluate these discoveries (the
Rusty, Gold Point and Cobalt Zones) and to drill one or two other targets that
had not yet been tested.
Gold mineralization at Rusty is hosted in brecciated siltstone with magnetite-
and magnetic pyrrhotite-rich matrix creating the magnetic high apparent in the
airborne data and in the recently completed more detailed ground magnetics. The
four holes drilled to date at Rusty, within the magnetic high, indicate gold
mineralization extends over at least 200 m in strike length. Continuity of
mineralization over this distance, although not yet established by drilling, is
clearly inferred from the magnetic data. In addition KI12-002 and KI12-003
demonstrate vertical continuity of a zone with a width of at least 50 m. The
Rusty Zone also extends from the surface as shown by 2011 drill hole RU11-001.
Additional drilling will be required at Rusty to define the strike extent and
depth of gold mineralization which is open ended.
The Kiyuk Lake property covers 590 square kilometers and encompasses at least
five other targets which have yet to be drill tested. Prosperity plans to
commence the summer exploration program in June. This field work will include
property wide, more closely spaced, airborne magnetics and radiometrics;
property wide geological mapping, prospecting and sampling; plus orientation and
follow up systematic sampling of surficial materials for geochemistry. Core
drilling will continue.
The exploration program is being directed by Adrian Fleming, CEO and a Director
of Prosperity. Additional technical guidance for the program including
specialist expertise in geology, geochemistry and geophysics is being provided
by Revelation Geoscience Ltd.
A comprehensive QA/QC program is in place to monitor precision and accuracy of
assay results. Drill core samples are being submitted with certified reference
materials and were analyzed by SGS Minerals Services, Red Lake, Ontario. Gold
analyses are by fire assay using a 30 g charge and an atomic absorption
spectrometry finish. Over-range assays greater than 10 g/t are re-assayed using
a gravimetric finish. SGS Mineral Services is ISO 9001 accredited.
