Colorado Goldfields Generating Excitement in Silverton.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Colorado Goldfields Inc. (OTCBB: CGFI) was featured in an article focusing on the rebirth of mining in Silverton, Colorado in the Durango Herald on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 which describes the local excitement generated by the Company's recent drilling at its Gold King and Mogul Mines in Silverton. "The early indications are good at the drilling sites. We look forward to releasing results of the assay tests as they become available," said Stephen Guyer, Chief Financial Officer.

Silverton was founded originally as a mining camp. Historically, the Gold King Mine alone produced approximately 345,000 ounces of gold and 1.4 million ounces of silver from 1895 to 1920. The article discusses CGFI's potential social, economic and environmental impact on the area and concludes that the local residents are generally positive and excited about the economic boost.
