Bear Lake Gold Announces Drilling Results at Larder Lake
27 Avril 2012 - 5:00PM
Marketwired Canada
Bear Lake Gold Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BLG) is pleased to announce
results of nine additional drill holes at its Larder Lake gold project located
on the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Break in the mining district of
Northeastern Ontario. Most holes intersected various gold values and confirmed
the presence of the mineralized corridor at Bear Lake and Cheminis.
Drilling at Larder Lake tested the extension of the resources of the Cheminis
and Bear Lake zones. Six holes totaling 4,036 m were completed at Cheminis and
three holes totaling 1,784 m were completed on the Bear Lake zone. Most holes
tested the extension of the D and NCB zones, two of the largest mineralized
zones at Cheminis, and the carbonate and flow zones at Bear Lake. Results from
six other holes are still pending.

The holes are located outside the limits of the resource estimation model and
most holes intersected lower grade mineralization. However, the grades obtained
may potentially indicate the presence of lower-grade mineralized horizons
intercalated within higher-grade lenses and additional drilling will be required
to investigate the presence of higher-grade lenses. Figures 1 & 2 show the
recent drill holes locations compared to the grade distribution of the gold
resources.
Gold Fields Option and Joint Venture Agreement - Update
In April, 2012, the Company and Gold Fields Abitibi Corporation signed an Option
and Joint Venture agreement entitling Gold Fields to acquire 60% of the Larder
Lake gold project by spending $40 million over 5 years (see press release dated
April 10th, 2012). The Company has obtained the TSX Venture Exchange approval
for the transaction. The transaction is subject to Gold Fields completing due
diligence enquiries by May 21, 2012.
QA/QC
The Company has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program independently set up and
supervised by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., an independent geological and mining
consulting firm of Brampton Ontario. The program includes chain of custody of
samples, drill core sawn in half and shipped in sealed bags to Laboratoire
Expert, a certified assay laboratory located in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec. Blank
samples, blind duplicates and certified standards are also inserted in the
sample stream. Samples with gold values higher than 10g Au/t are systematically
re-analyzed, and samples containing visible gold are also analyzed
systematically with the metallic screen analysis.
