Bard Ventures Ltd.: Drilling Results

Bard Ventures Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CBS)(FRANKFURT:BVU) is pleased
to announce significant drill hole results from its 2011 phase one drill program
in the Quartz Breccia Zone on its Lone Pine Property (the "Property"). The
Company is very pleased and encouraged by the positive results received from
drill hole BD-11-69 demonstrating the continuity of high grade molybdenum (Mo),
copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) mineralization over a horizontal distance of 131
meters from drill hole BDQ-08-03 through BD-11-69 to BDQ-08-04. Mineralization
identified by these drill holes remains open in all directions and requires
additional drilling. The Property is located 15 kilometers north-northwest of
Houston, BC and is situated in the Omineca Mining Division.


A summary of significant drill hole intercepts from BD-11-69 is highlighted in
the table below. All intervals are reported as drill core widths, and may not
represent true width as there has not been enough drilling to delineate the
shape of the mineralization at this early stage of wide spaced exploration
drilling.

There has been no low or high assay cutoffs applied to any analytical results as
the project is still in the exploration phase. The only interval that had
non-detectable silver (less than 0.5gm/t) in the interval from 18.6m to 233.3m
reported above was from 55.4m-58.4m a drilled width of 3.0m.


Drill hole BD-11-69 intersected extensive intervals of copper, silver and
molybdenum mineralization from 18.6 meters to a vertical depth of 450.8 meters
through a broad zone of quartz healed volcanic breccia from 18.6 meters to 392.6
meters and underlying basalt and narrow Alaskite dykes to 481.3 meters. Alaskite
was intersected from 481.3 meters to 544.3 meters. The drill hole terminated in
a fine grained magnetic mafic dyke from 544.3 meters to the end of hole at
602.59 meters. Molybdenum and chalcopyrite mineralization is vein hosted, while
silver mineralization occurs as both vein hosted and disseminated. High grade
vein hosted copper, silver and zinc mineralization was intersected within a 6.3
meter interval from 142.5 meters to 148.8 meters as outlined in the table above.


Significant NQ drill core assay results have been received from the first of
three drill holes completed in the Quartz Breccia Zone located 1.0 kilometer
north of the Alaskite Zone Molybdenum-Copper-Silver Resource. In 2007 and 2008
the Company completed seven drill holes in the Quartz Breccia Zone. A review of
those results in March 2011 (News Release March 28, 2011) identified extensive
intervals of copper, silver and molybdenum mineralization including 0.052% Mo
over 142.0 meters (BDQ-08-03), 0.086% Cu over 147 meters (BDQ-08-03) and 19.05
grams per tonne Ag over 176.0 meters (BDQ-08-04). Drill hole BDQ-08-04
terminated in copper-silver mineralization at the end of the hole and remains
open to extension at depth. Vertical drill hole BD-11-69 is located along the
western margin of the Quartz Breccia Zone and is bounded by 2008 vertical drill
holes BDQ-08-03, located approximately 57 meters to the north, and BDQ-08-04,
located approximately 74 meters to the south. 


The Company awaits the results of additional assays for rhenium ("Re") and gold
("Au") from drill hole BD-11-69.


The Company has completed a NI 43-101 positive Preliminary Economic Assessment
on the Alaskite Zone (see News Release March 11, 2011). This PEA does not
include any resource from the Quartz Breccia Zone. Mineral resources that are
not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. A copy of the
Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. 


The Property has an ideal location for operations with established
infrastructure including:




--  Highway 16; 
--  A natural gas pipeline; 
--  a major hydro power transmission line and transformer substation; and 
--  is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.



Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option
agreement (News release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine Exploration is
being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Rick Kemp, P.Geo.,
Vice President, Exploration. Drill core samples from BD-11-69 were analyzed by
ACME Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver utilizing a 31 element ICP-ES
geochemical analysis, over-limit ICP base and precious metal results were
assayed.
