(TSXV:BMV), (OTC:BMVVF) ('Bathurst' or the 'Company') Vancouver, British Columbia - Bathurst Metals Corp. announced it has entered into a binding letter of intent ('LOI') with arm's length vendor BCT Holdings Corp (the 'Vendor') to acquire an undivided 100% interest in 12 mineral claims covering approximately 5,500 hectares located in the Bridge River Mining Camp of British Columbia.

About the Peerless Project

Located less than 20 kilometres from the historic Bralorne/Pioneer and King Gold Mines

Project's known gold/silver and base metal mineralization is similar to these mines in that the mesothermal, orogenic quartz-carbonate, structurally controlled veins are in close proximity to an ultramafic intrusive/ volcaniclastic-sedimentary contact.

Property contains three known showings, Alpha, Beta and Peerless with limited historical, systematic surface and underground exploration starting in the 1930's. The property lies at low altitude and has year-round road access

Historic drilling intercepted mineralization at the Alpha Zone such as: Hole 87-8, starting at 19.8 metres of 1.02 oz/tonne gold and 3.82 oz/tonne silver over a 3.47 metres core length. Zone remains open along strike and to depth.

Recent exploration work has defined an east-northeast trending, in soil multi-element (gold/silver/arsenic/ antimony/lead/zinc/bismuth/copper) anomaly over 2,500 x 750 metres and remains open in all directions.

Hardy Forzley, Bathurst's CEO states: 'With this acquisition, Bathurst secures a significant mineral rights position in one of the most prospective areas of British Columbia associated with gold mineralization. The project has good access to year-round field work and represents an exceptional opportunity for the Company.'

Terms of the Acquisition

The terms of the LOI provide for payment of CAD$500,000, issuance of 7,500,000 common shares of the Company, and funding by the Company of $2,700,000 in exploration expenditures, all over a period of four (4) years, as follows:
