2010-09-20 08:00 ET - News Release
 
LONDON, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuffnell Ltd. (Tuffnell or "the Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: TUFF) is pleased to announce that it has acquired 12 additional mining claims at its Little Butte project. This brings the total unpatented claims held to 85. Total land holdings including patented claims total 1,840 acres or 2.88 square miles.
 
The new claims were added to cover any possible northwest extensions of the Company's recently discovered high-grade gold/copper mineralization. Tuffnell now controls claims for approximately 5,000 feet to the northwest from the discovery drill hole, LB1010.
 
Mr. George Dory, Tuffnell's CEO stated, "We are very satisfied that our team has been out in the field and was able to acquire these additional mining claims.  The Company believes that these new claims are extremely beneficial to the company by not only creating a stronger land position, but also by securing additional lands in the direct proximity of the significant find, namely drill hole LB1010."
 
The Company is now planning its Phase II exploration program.  This program will be initiated in the fall of 2010.
 
Shareholders and the public are encouraged to visit www.tuffex.com for more information and to request an Investor Package.

Based on geological potential, infrastructure proximity, and previously undertaken exploration, Tuffnell Ltd. selects properties of merit so as to provide its shareholders with the highest probability of success. The Company's main property, known as Little Butte, is located in La Paz County, Arizona and has previous exploration history indicating that resources are present and the prospect for economic recovery of gold support management's decision to proceed with further exploration. Tuffnell holds a 100% option to 85 unpatented mining claims and 7 patented claims. The Little Butte project lies in the historic Plomosa District, 20 miles north of the town of Quartzite, Arizona and approximately 150 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. Based solely on historical records and drilling data from the former claim holder, the Company believes its property has the potential to host up to 1.0 million oz of gold. Little Butte is located in the world famous Walker Lane Gold Trend. The Walker Lane gold belt has historically produced over 50 million ounces of gold and 400 million ounces of silver.
