Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2014) -
St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (TSX: SAS) (OTCQX: STADF), ("SAS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce recent drill results from the Hislop North Project ("Hislop North"), northwest of the
Hislop Mine, and the Hislop V2 zone ("V2 Zone").
HIGHLIGHTS OF DRILLING RESULTS (Refer to Figure 1 for a Plan View of Hislop North and V2 Zone drilling results)
Hislop North (147 Extension)
-
H14-006: 0.88 g/t Au over 50.5 metres
-
H14-012: 2.96 g/t Au over 43.1 metres, including 9.20 g/t Au over 10.2 metres
-
H14-013: 17.87 g/t Au over 6.5 metres (9.28 g/t Au uncut), including 31.43 g/t Au over 3.5 metres (15.47 g/t Au uncut)
-
H14-014: 6.76 g/t Au over 12.2 metres, including 18.49 g/t Au over 2.7 metres
V2 Zone
Notes:
All lengths reported at Hislop North are reported as core length, as true width is not available at this time. Assays at Hislop North and Hislop V2 zone are cut to 32.00 g/t Au.
"The continuation of positive results being generated from the Hislop Property is very encouraging", said Duncan Middlemiss, President & CEO of SAS. "The additional drill results from Hislop North support the thesis that the
Grey Fox and 147 zones (traced from the neighbouring property) cross the claim boundary and we are seeing good potential to identify resources by year end. Additionally the V2 Zone results demonstrate the highly prospective nature of the Hislop
Property and exploration work will continue throughout 2014."
Hislop North Project
Phase 2 drilling continued along the northern Hislop Property boundary (aimed at following-up on the southerly strike extension of the 147 zone). To date, in 2014, a total of 17 holes totaling approximately 3,700 metres were drilled using one
surface rig. Near surface intersections over significant widths were intercepted in hole H14-012, which returned 2.96 g/t Au over 43.1 metres and hole H14-006, which returned 0.88 g/t Au over 50.5 metres.
These intercepts are hosted within a brecciated albitic mafic
volcanic with significant quartz veining, carbonate stringers and disseminated
pyrite. The recently reported mineralized intercepts occur at surface, with hole
H14-012 being collared in the mineralized zone. Recent drilling was conducted on
an 50 metre by 50 metre drill pattern, with the objective of following up on
2013 drill results. This recent phase of drilling has traced the 147 mineralized
extension approximately 135 metres onto SAS property. The drilling has indicated
that the 147 mineralized zone sub-crops on the SAS property and is covered by
minimal overburden (1.5 - 2 metres). The Company expects to mechanically trench,
geologically map and channel sample the mineralized zone as part of its summer
exploration field program. Additional follow-up drilling is planned to continue
to trace the 147 and Grey Fox mineralized extensions onto SAS property and
follow-up on numerous other drill targets situated on the Hislop Property.
Primero Mining Corp's ("Primero") Grey Fox Property (which
hosts the Grey Fox, 147 and Contact zones) is situated on the north side of the
Hislop Property boundary and Primero (formerly Brigus Gold Corp) has reported
approximately 507,000 ounces of Indicated Resources (4.3Mt grading 3.7 g/t Au)
and 229,000 ounces of Inferred Resources (1.5Mt grading 4.7 g/t Au). See
compliant technical report as filed by Brigus Gold on SEDAR, "NI-43-101
Technical Report and Mineral Resources Estimate for the Grey Fox Project", dated
July 30, 2013.

Notes: All lengths are reported as core length as true width
is not available at this time. Assays are cut to 32.00 g/t. NSV = no significant
value.V2 Zone
The V2 Zone is located approximately 1 km south of the East Pit
on the Hislop Property. This is a regional target which has been defined by
historical drilling and remains open along strike to the east. The V2 Zone
consists of gold bearing quartz veins hosted within a steeply dipping mafic
volcanic unit. In 2014, two holes were drilled to target the easterly strike
extension of the V2 Zone which resulted in extending the zone an additional 50
metres to the east. This zone remains open to the east with additional drilling
planned to follow-up on the strike extension of this target.
Significant assay intercepts from the recent V2 Zone drill
program are summarized in the table below:

Drilling, Assaying and QA/QC
Surface drilling was conducted by Forage Orbit Garant Drilling
Services Inc. Analytical work for the Hislop North / 147 Extension was performed
by AGAT Laboratories Limited situated in Mississauga, ON, an accredited lab.
Diamond drill samples sent for analysis consisted of saw cut NQ-size core
samples. SAS employs an industry standard QA/QC program consisting of certified
reference standards and blanks that are inserted into the sample stream, which
represent approximately 5% of the total sample population. Gold analysis is
performed using a 30 gram fire assay with an ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry) finish.
Qualified Person
The exploration programs on the Company's various mineral
properties are under the supervision of Doug Cater, P. Geo., the Company's
Vice-President, Exploration. Mr. Cater is a qualified person as defined by NI
43-101, and has reviewed and approved this news release.

V2 Zone target and the potential for additional discoveries.
This forward-looking information is subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to

and regulations; and changes in general economic conditions. Such forward
looking information is based on a number of assumptions, including in respect of
the ability to achieve operating cost estimates, the volatility and level of the

of the Company's cash flow and financial reserves to carry out its planned
programs, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to conduct its
exploration programs and operate its mines, and general business and economic
conditions. Should one or more risks and uncertainties materialize or should any
