(TSX Venture: CBA)
CALGARY, Feb. 6 /CNW/ - Champion Bear Resources Ltd. ("Champion Bear" or
the "Company") announced today that it has commenced drilling at its Plomp
Farm gold property in Dryden, Ontario. The Company has initiated a 5,000 metre
drill program to target the mineralized zone between vertical depths of 400 to
800 metres.
The primary objectives of the 2006 Plomp Farm Drill Program are to test
the quality of the gold and silver of several of the more extensively
mineralized lenses down plunge and to the west of the previous drilling.
The first hole, PF06-119, will target the zone at a vertical depth of
approximately 600 metres. This hole will test the down plunge extension of the
3.6 g/t Au and 7.5 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres in the hole PF-39, the 3.0 g/t Au
and 50.96 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres in hole PF-38 and the 7.4 g/t Au and 8.7 g/t
Ag over 1.0 metre in hole PF-83.
Champion Bear's test of this and the adjacent mineralized zones to a
vertical depth of approximately 800 metres is part of its ongoing exploration
program to define the most prospective areas for more detailed follow up work.
Champion Bear is a mineral exploration company focused exclusively on the
historically prospective regions of Ontario. The Company's primary target is
platinum group and precious metals and to a lesser extent polymetallic base
metal and pegmatite-hosted tantalum deposits. Champion Bear's aim is to create
shareholder value through selective property acquisition and joint venture
followed by focused exploration emphasizing drilling. The Company has
assembled a large land position in the Dryden and Sudbury areas, totaling over
16,000 hectares.
