BOWMORE Commences Duverny Drill Program in the Abitibi

BOWMORE Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOW)(FRANKFURT:0B5) ("Bowmore") is pleased
to announce the start of Phase Two 3,000 meter diamond drill program on its
Duverny property, located in the Abitibi region of Quebec. The objective of the
second phase of drilling will be to test large zones of rusty iron carbonate
alteration that host a number of gold showings, all identified through the
summer 2012 sampling and geological mapping program. The drill targets include




1.  Two gold showings of 1.35g/t Au over 3.4 meters and 1.76g/t Au over 2.4
    meters that were obtained from chip samples taken this summer within
    historical trenches, located in the central part of the property, a few
    hundred meters north of the historical Cresus-Silverny gold showing; 

2.  a second iron carbonate alteration zone extending ESE of the Claverny
    gold showing, located on the south eastern part of the claim block, 3.7
    kilometers from the Cresus-Silverny showing; 

3.  the Grenadier West zone located on the north-east part of the property.
    Gold values of up to 2.9g/t Au were obtained from grab samples taken
    within the area during the summer 2012 exploration program. 

4.  the Duvay gold showing, located on the northern part of the property,
    where bulk samples for heap leach testing were taken in the late 80's.  



The iron carbonate (ankerite) alteration zones on the Duverny property cover a
total of approximately 18 square kilometers. This intense rust-colored carbonate
alteration is similar to what surrounds the historical, world-class Larder Lake,
Timmins and Red Lake gold camps in Ontario. 


The 2012 summer exploration program consisted of geological mapping with 100
meter spacing surface rock sampling in order to define levels and types of
mineralization and carbonate alteration. A total of 485 samples (424, 1kg grabs
and 61 chip samples) were taken and sent for gold analysis at ALS Chemex, for
which some results are still pending. The sixty one (61) chip samples were also
analyzed by the same laboratory for multi element package ICP-MS41 while twenty
four (24) of the grabs were analyzed for trace elements (CCP-PKG01). Gold
content was first analyzed utilizing standard fire assay fusion of a 30 gram
(AA23) or a 50 gram (AA24) charge, followed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
(Au 30-50g FA AA finish). All other elements, including silver, were analyzed
utilizing Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (35 Element
Aqua Regia ICP AES) methods, on a prepared sample digested with aqua regia. 


The company is in the process of obtained all necessary agreements and permits
for property access and drilling work to be done on the targeted areas. 


Duverny

The property is located 15 kilometres northeast of the town of Amos in the
prolific Abitibi region of Quebec. The property has been the object of
historical exploration work since the 1920's, including diamond and reverse
circulation drilling, and bulk sampling that reported numerous gold occurrences
within the property limits and its vicinity. The property is located in a
favourable geological setting to host low-grade, bulk tonnage disseminated gold
mineralization as well as high-grade, carbonate-rich vein systems. The property
geology is dominated by volcanic rocks and covers the edges of the Duverny and
Claverny felsic igneous plutons. The property encompasses very large, kilometric
zones of intense iron carbonate alteration (ankerite) and a network of
significant shear zones in proximity to the felsic intrusions.


Mr. Paul Dumas, President and CEO of Bowmore Exploration Ltd., stated: "I am
pleased to see the Phase Two drill program at our Duverny property underway
prior to the year end. The property presents a great potential for significant
gold mineralization. Some of the historical diamond drill holes indicate good
grades and we are hoping to expand these areas of interest."
