Great Bear Resources Ltd. reported drill results from its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario. New Midwest Zone Drilling Highlights: Drill hole DL-071 intersected the new "Midwest" zone, located 275 metres northwest of the Hinge zone and 250 metres south of the Dixie Limb zone, assaying 20.27 g/t gold over 1.75 metres from 812.35 to 814.10 metres downhole. The total mineralized interval was 5.69 g/t gold over 7.05 metres from 809.95 to 817.00 metres downhole.

The new discovery consists of high-grade gold in silica-sulphide replacement alteration at the subvertical planar contact between two basalt flows and is most similar to the Dixie Limb zone in style. Until this discovery, it was thought that the only mineralized basalt-basalt contact occurred at the Dixie Limb zone. It is now confirmed that additional basalt-basalt contacts can also localize silica-sulphide replacement mineralization including high-grade gold.

Great Bear's drilling and geophysical data suggest additional basalt-basalt contacts may occur within the mafic volcanic package southwest of the LP Fault zone, defining new drill targets. All significant gold zones at Dixie occupy a 1.4 kilometre wide "dilation zone", where many geological contacts and structures are mineralized. A report on seismic surveys by Zeng and Calvert, 2006 presents an interpretation that this structural zone reaches the base of the continental crust.

At the Dixie project, the zone contains a broad structural corridor with more than 18 kilometres of strike length. Gold has been drilled along 11 kilometres of strike length to date. In addition to ongoing drilling of the LP Fault, Phase 2 drilling will continue to test various new targets such as the new Midwest zone within this broad structurally dilated and mineralized corridor.

New LP Fault Drilling Highlights: Ongoing LP Fault drilling continues to systematically expand gold mineralization, including at depth. Current drill holes targeted the zone at various points along 2.9 kilometres of strike length, between bedrock surface and approximately 600 metres vertical depth. New drilling primarily targeted 1) extensions to the 23 high-grade domains currently being modeled, including at depth, and 2) the lower-grade halo up to 200 metres from the centre of the zone.

Gold mineralization is typically strongest within, and proximal to, the high-grade domains that occur towards the centre of the zone. Highlights include: Drill holes BR-406 and BR-407 increase the drilled depth of the LP Fault gold zone to approximately 450 metres vertically from surface on their drill section. Results include: BR-406: 66.30 g/t gold over 0.50 metres from 407.30 metres to 407.80 metres downhole.

This occurred within a broader interval assaying 6.15 g/t gold over 7.20 metres from 406.80 to 414.00 metres downhole. BR-406: 42.60 g/t gold over 0.50 metres from 452.15 to 452.65 metres downhole. This also occurred within a broader interval assaying 3.24 g/t gold over 12.25 metres.

BR-406: The total mineralized interval was 2.03 g/t gold over 45.85 metres from 406.80 to 452.65 metres downhole. BR-407: 11.29 g/t gold over 3.00 metres from 496.00 to 499.00 metres downhole, which occurred within a broad interval of 4.55 g/t gold over 25.50 metres from 473.50 to 499.00 metres downhole. BR-407: The total mineralized interval was 1.83 g/t gold over 91.35 metres from 430.40 to 521.75 metres downhole.

Shallower LP Fault drill holes were also completed to fill in gaps of up to 100 metres in past drilling. Drill hole BR-426 intersected several high-grade, mid- grade and low-grade gold intervals over 150.20 metres of core length, consistent with previously reported continuity of gold mineralization in this area. Results include: BR-426 collared in a broad low-grade gold interval from bedrock surface assaying 0.59 g/t gold over 65.70 metres from 28.50 to 94.20 metres downhole.

It also intersected high-grade gold assaying 16.07 g/t gold over 3.70 metres from 174.30 to 178.00 metres downhole. The broader mineralized interval was 3.10 g/t gold over 28.30 metres from 165.20 to 193.50 metres downhole. Shallow drill hole BR-438 intersected several mineralized intervals over 258.10 metres of core length, including: 32.40 g/t gold over 0.50 metres from 72.10 to 72.60 metres downhole, within a broader interval assaying 1.62 g/t gold over 11.20 metres from 66.70 to 77.09 metres downhole, 24.84 g/t gold over 0.90 metres from 128.35 to 129.25 metres downhole, within a broader interval assaying 6.00 g/t gold over 3.90 metres from 128.35 to 129.25 metres downhole, 37.50 g/t gold over 1.00 metre from 153.60 to 154.50 metres downhole, within a broader interval assaying 2.53 g/t gold over 16.70 metres from 147.60 to 164.30 metres downhole, and 40.00 g/t gold over 1.50 metres from 323.30 to 324.80 metres downhole.

Shallow drill hole BR-463 intersected near-surface high-grade gold assaying 21.00 g/t gold over 1.10 metres from 49.60 to 50.70 metres downhole. The broader mineralized interval was 8.38 g/t gold over 4.20 metres from 46.50 to 50.70 metres downhole. Upcoming LP Fault drill results include direct targeting of high-grade domains such as BR7 at depth.

Assay results are pending.
