Colorado Goldfields Inc. Moves Closer to Permit for Pride of the West Mill - Part 1 Gold Stocks

LAKEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/29/11 -- Colorado Goldfields Inc. (OTCQB: CGFIA) (PINKSHEETS: CGFIA) announces that on March 25, 2011 the Company filed the first component of its dry stacking permit with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety ('DRMS'). Technical Revision 11 (TR-11) is the foundation of the process that will bring the Pride of the West into operation under the new dry stacking approach.

'The complete permitting process for the dry stacking operation of the Pride of the West Mill ('Mill'), is formed from three parts: 1) Closure of the old tailings ponds, thereby removing any lingering issues with that part of the site, 2) Geotechnical, seismic and other analysis of the dry stack land site, 3) Incorporation of that analysis into Amendment Number 3 to be presented to the DRMS. This first filing ensures that the project will move forward as rapidly and efficiently as possible,' stated Stephen C. Fearn, Registered Processional Engineer for Colorado Goldfields.

TR-11 consists of 8 work tasks that will commence immediately upon approval from the Division. Approval could come very quickly since no hearing before the Colorado Minded Land Reclamation Board is required.

'The Company is now perfectly postured and excited about moving forward with dry stacking and bringing the Mill online as soon as possible. TR-11 lifts us out of the problems of the past and moves the Company a significant step forward toward Mill re-activation,' stated Stephen Guyer, CFO for Colorado Goldfields.
