VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - February 15, 2008) - THIS
RELEASE IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

WINFIELD RESOURCES LIMITED (NEX: WWF.H) announces it has received a
license to refine oil from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania -
Ministry of Water, Energy, Information Technology and Communications.
This license is a result of Winfield's application for its own
account to build, own and operate a new 300,000 bbl/day oil refinery
at the Port of Nouakchott, Mauritania; and the Company's meeting with
Mauritanian authorities February 2 - 7, 2008, as previously announced
January 25, 2008.

The license is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i)
giving priority to acquiring feedstock from sources within
Mauritania; (ii) abiding by all applicable environmental laws; (iii)
giving priority to selling refined petroleum products to consumers in
Mauritania; and (iv) paying royalties in favour of the National Oil
Commission.

The Company would like to thank KBC Process Technology Ltd.
(www.kbcat.com) of Surrey, UK, for its assistance in procuring this
license. KBC is a leading independent consulting and technology group
delivering competitive advantage through improvements in business
performance and asset value to owners and operators in the oil
refining, petrochemical, and other processing industries worldwide.

Based on this license, the Company intends to move forward with its
proposal to construct, engineer and operate a new stand alone oil
refinery at Nouakchott. Specifically, KBC Process Technology Ltd.
will prepare a fully detailed feasibility study to include the design
of the facility, (including process flow diagrams); while
simultaneously we will commence the process of securing all relevant
studies and licences for the proposed site in Nouakchott. Our next
major milestone will be to select a contractor to prepare a study as
to the nature and source of crude oil feedstock.

The Company wishes to confirm that the grant of the license from the
Mauritanian authorities is conditional, and subject to a number of
logistical matters including sourcing crude oil feedstock, financing
and site location. There is no assurance the Company will be able to
construct and operate a refinery at the Port of Nouakchott on terms
acceptable to the Company, or at all. There is also no assurance the
Company will be able to source crude oil feedstock or financing for
such refinery project.

On behalf of the Board

Robert Michael Foley, President and CEO
