Colombia Goldfields Announces Initial Inferred Resource at Marmato Mountain

TORONTO, ON, (May 12, 2008): Colombia Goldfields Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX: GOL / OTCBB: CGDF) today announced an initial NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate of 2.6 million ounces of gold for the Zona Alta (Upper Zone) at Marmato. This is based on the first 12,186 meters (68 holes) of a planned 60,000-meter diamond drilling program, 1,165 meters of cross-cut samples (115 cross-cuts) and 504 meters of individual underground samples. The resource estimate was prepared by Micon International Limited ("Micon") of Toronto.

Highlights of the resource estimate include:

• 2.6 million ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t

• Contained within 75.8 million tonnes grading 1.05 g/t gold

• The resource remains open for expansion in areas not yet drilled

"This 43-101 compliant resource estimate is the first step in confirming Marmato Mountain as a world-class gold deposit," said J. Randall Martin, Vice Chairman and CEO, Colombia Goldfields. "With the bulk of drilling at Zona Alta yet to report on, we believe that there is a strong potential to increase the Zona Alta resource. Moreover, we are working towards completing an agreement to purchase the Zona Baja (Lower Zone) at Marmato, which we believe has the potential to substantially increase the size of the current Marmato Resource."

Table 1.0 - May 2008 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at Zona Alta at Various Cut-Off Grades

Cut-Off grade g/t gold	Tonnage t x 1000	Gold Grade g/t	Gold ounces	Silver Grade g/t	Silver ounces
2.0	7,960	3.04	776,000	12.63	3,226,000
1.0	27,624	1.87	1,656,000	8.51	7,545,000
0.5	55,774	1.28	2,301,000	6.61	11,841,000
0.3	75,808	1.05	2,553,000	5.76	14,039,000

The previous historical resource for Zona Alta appears in Table 2.0 This was carried out for a previous operator in 1998, prior to the enactment of NI 43-101.

Micon reviewed the historical resource, on behalf of Colombia Goldfields, in a November 14, 2006 NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Marmato and Caramanta Projects. Micon concluded that the 1998 Mineral Resources Development Inc. (MRDI) resource estimate of Zona Alta appeared to have been calculated using the appropriate Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) standards applied to the industry in 1998. However, because the original Conquistador (previous operator) database and the MRDI report appendices were not available to be reviewed and verified, the 1998 resource estimate should be regarded as a historical resource given for information purposes only to indicate the potential of the project. Micon has advised Colombia Goldfields that they cannot say, with any degree of certainty, that the 1998 MRDI resource estimate was, or would be with further review, compliant with the present CIM definitions required by NI 43-101. As a result, the Company has treated these resources estimates as historical estimates and not as current mineral resources under NI 43-101.

The full NI 43-101 report describing the new resource estimate will be released within 45 days and filed on SEDAR.

A scoping study (NI 43-101 preliminary assessment) is being carried out by Micon based on this resource and is due for completion in June.

Nine drills are currently operating at Zona Alta. Drilling of the entire 60,000 meter program is expected to be complete by September 2008. The Company expects to provide updated resource figures at appropriate intervals prior to completion of the current drilling program.
