Marketwired
Champion Bear Resources Ltd. ("Champion Bear" or the "Company")(TSX
VENTURE:CBA) is pleased to announce that a National Instrument
43-101 Technical Report ("43-101 Report") has been completed on the
Company's wholly-owned Eagle Rock
copper-nickel-platinum-palladium-gold property ("Eagle Rock")
located in northwestern Ontario. The 43-101 Report was completed by
Tetra Tech Wardrop of Sudbury Ontario and recommends a two-phase
C$2.0 million program designed to delineate the Campbell Zone
mineralization as well as explore the new mineralized zones
identified during the 2011 prospecting campaign.
Richard Kantor, President of Champion Bear states "We are very
excited about the progress we've made this year on the Eagle Rock
property. First, the discovery of two new mineralized zones and now
the completion of the Eagle Rock 43-101 Technical Report that will
not only serve as a basis for a future Campbell Zone resource
estimation but also provides important recommendations for
continued exploration."
The entire report can be viewed on the Company's website and at
www.sedar.com.
The Company also reports today that the previously announced
option agreement with Canadian Platinum Corp. ("CPC") (see news
release dated July 18, 2011) for the Eagle Rock Property has been
terminated. Previously, CPC had completed an initial option payment
of $250,000, the purchase of $250,000 worth of Champion Bear
shares, and funded 50% of the successful summer field exploration
program that defined two new mineralized zones - the West zone and
the East Lake zone (see news release dated September 13, 2011).
Champion Bear is 100% owner of Eagle Rock and remains committed to
expanding the Campbell Zone mineralization as well as exploring the
nature and extent of the two new zones.
At the Parkin Property located in Sudbury Ontario, Wallbridge
Mining ("Wallbridge") has now completed exploration expenditures in
excess of $2,000,000 to earn a 50% interest in the Parkin Property.
The Parkin Property overlies several kilometres of the Parkin
Offset Dyke which hosts several sulphide showings. Work completed
in 2011 includes diamond drilling - 3 holes totalling 1,660 metres
- as well as surface trenching and mapping.
Commenting, Richard Kantor said "The commitment Wallbridge
Mining has shown to our Parkin Property is a strong indication of
its potential and we look forward to continuing to advance the
property under the new Joint Venture. And, of course, at Eagle
Rock, we are disappointed that Canadian Platinum had to withdraw
from the Eagle Rock agreement but Champion Bear remains committed
more so now than ever to expanding the Campbell Zone and advancing
the new zones with ongoing exploration work."
