LAKEWOOD, CO - Colorado Goldfields Inc. (OTCQB:CGFIA) (CGFIA.PK) announces that the Company has extended their Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), with American Sierra Gold Corp ("American Sierra") to August 31, 2012.



The MOU, which provides for customary due diligence, intends to make American Sierra a wholly owned subsidiary of Colorado Goldfields Inc. Existing shareholders of American Sierra will receive a ratio of restricted Colorado Goldfields Class A shares in exchange for their American Sierra shares.



American Sierra was incorporated in Nevada on January 30, 2007. They are focused on the acquisition, exploration, development, mining, and production of precious metals, with emphasis on gold and silver. The Company's plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities in order to assess whether the sites possesses mineral deposits of gold or other precious metals in commercial quantities, capable of commercial extraction.



The Board of Directors of American Sierra viewthis merger as an opportunity to join forces with a company that has similarly aligned goals and values, and is farther down the execution road. Aside from the obvious economies of scale, the synergistic benefit is very high.



"We are as a company looking forward with great enthusiasm to joining forces with Colorado Goldfields toward accessing Colorado Goldfields' existing and new mining exploration and development opportunities as well as the outstanding value-add presented by the much anticipated near term launch of The Pride of the West Mill," stated James Vandeberg, President and CEO of American Sierra Gold.



"The fact that American Sierra on behalf of the Company's over seven thousand shareholders showed this commitment to Colorado Goldfields strongly supports our business model and the course our company is taking. After four years oftotal and consistent dedication and perseverance in the face of a very challenging world-wide economic climate, the strategic expansion of our shareholder base and the strengthening of our capital base opens up new growth prospects for us and creates further potential for acquisitions," said Stephen Guyer, CFO of Colorado Goldfields.
