(LBE - TSX), is pleased to announce initial drill results from its 2011 exploration program.  The most significant drill intercept came from a drill hole collared 300 meters east of the Hart Nickel Deposit which has an indicated resource of 1.5 million tonnes grading 1.4% Nickel. The drill hole was designed to follow up on historical drill hole intercepts of 1.62% Ni over 1.9 meters and 5.47% Ni over 0.2 meters 50 meters to the east.  Drill hole H-11-11 was drilled across the down dip projection of these historical intercepts intersecting 0.82% Ni over a drilled width of 36.0 meters from 335.0 to 371.0 meters including 2.05% Ni over 9.5 meters from 352.0 to 361.5 meters.To date, this intercept rivals some of the deeper drill intercepts in the Hart Deposit and may represent a new channel flow horizon supporting the Kambalda model of these deposits occurring in clusters. Mineralization in drill hole H-11-11 is typical of these nickel deposits and is described as disseminated, blebby and fracture infilled settling into net textured to semi-massive sulphides.\"The nickel mineralization in this new drill hole intercept, appears to mimic the morphology of the Hart Deposit where we see relatively narrow widths for the upper portions of the deposit and gradually widening significantly at depth due to deposition of sulphides in embayments or troughs.  As this is still quite early in our exploration program, this area will certainly merit additional drilling to help delineate this drill hole intercept as a potential new nickel resource\" commented VP of Exploration Peter Caldbick.Additional drilling focussed on a series of short drill holes on the Hart Nickel Deposit designed to bring near surface inferred resources up to the indicated category.  In addition, the program was designed to support the engineering department in the mine planning process with the possibility of increasing both   thickness and nickel grades of the Hart upper west resource. The program was successful in defining two steeply dipping zones that extend to surface. Highlights from this program include drill hole H-11-04 which intersected 1.20% Ni over 7.0 meters from 66.0 t...
