Bear Lake Gold Announces Drilling Results at Larder Lake
(firmenpresse) - LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 04/27/12 -- 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.

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.
