NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES


Anfield Nickel Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ANF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it has closed both its previously announced brokered and non-brokered
private placements of common shares totaling gross proceeds of C$22,100,000. The
Company issued a total of 5,200,000 common shares at a price of C$4.25 per
common share. The brokered private placement was completed pursuant to an
agreement with Raymond James Ltd. and a syndicate of agents, including Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and Salman Partners Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Agents
received a commission of 6% of the gross sales of the 1,670,000 common shares
that were the subject of the brokered private placement.


A 6% finder's fee was payable on a portion of the non-brokered private
placement, but no finder's fee was payable in respect of the 1,765,000 common
shares purchased by Lumina Capital Limited Partnership as part of the
non-brokered private placement.


All shares issued pursuant to the brokered and non-brokered private placements
will be subject to a hold period until June 29, 2012. The issuance of the shares
pursuant to the brokered and non-brokered private placements is subject to the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


The net proceeds from the placements will be used to fund the ongoing
exploration program at the Company's Mayaniquel nickel project, to repay amounts
owed to Lumina Capital Limited Partnership and for general corporate purposes.


The brokered portion of the private placement was made in such jurisdictions as
was agreed to between the Company and the Agents, and is subject to the approval
of regulatory authorities. The securities offered have not been registered under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the
securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
