Bearing Provides Drill Results From Pedro Gold Project, Mexico

14-Nov-2016

 

Bearing Resources Ltd. ("Bearing", or the "Company") (TSX-V Symbol BRZ.V) has received the drill results from Newmont de Mexico, S.A. de C.V ("Newmont"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, from its recently completed drill program on Bearing's 100% owned Pedro property in Durango Mexico. Newmont terminated the option agreement on Pedro with an effective date of July 11, 2014.

The drill program comprised 11 drill holes totalling 1,744 metres of which two holes (409 metres) were cored and the remaining drilled by reverse circulation. Areas tested included the HP breccia prospect and its northern extension; a distance of some three kilometres. The best results were encountered in hole LP-013-R that returned a core length of 10.5 metres grading 0.51 grams per tonne gold from silicified conglomerate of the Ahuichila Formation. Details of the recent drilling are presented below. Drill intervals reported are hole lengths and true thickness for hole LP-013-R is estimated to be close to the reported core length. Collar locations are presented at the end of this release. Results for all other holes were low to barren.

Hole	From(m)	To (m)	Length (m)	Au (g/T)
LP-007-R	4.5	16.5	12.00	0.23
LP-008-R	33.0	37.5	4.50	0.35
LP-010-R	31.5	37.5	6.00	0.21
LP-011-D	4.0	9.6	5.55	0.59
LP-013-R	51.0	61.5	10.50	0.51
LP-017-R	144.0	201.0	57.00	0.07

The HP Breccia prospect is defined by a gold soil anomaly (greater than 40 ppb gold) extending over a 1,800 metre x 600 metre area that coincides with exposed silicified conglomerate of the Ahuichila Formation. Drill results from this area (holes 7 through 15) in large part reflect the results from surface sampling. Gold is mostly associated with the Ahuichila conglomerate with no values being present within the underlying Caracol Formation. No source or feeder system for this stratabound gold has been identified. The northern extension of the HP breccia prospect located 2 kilometres to the north is underlain by volcanic rocks and Aurora Formation limestone and was tested by holes 16 and 17. The Aurora Formation is weakly mineralised throughout with hole 17 returning 57 metres averaging 70 ppb gold. The Company will continue to compile all results received from Newmont including surface geochemistry, geophysics and drilling. Additional targets on this large property have yet to be tested and the property remains in good standing.

QA/QC:

Drill samples and analytical data for the Pedro project were collected under the supervision of Newmont, using industry standard quality assurance/quality control protocols. Core holes began as HQ and were terminated as NQ. For reverse circulation drilling dry sampling was used for ~75% or more of drill samples. Dry sampling used a standard rotary cyclone capture with all drill cuttings passing through a 1/8th cut Gilson splitter before bagging for assay. Wet sampling methods were used in intervals with excessive ground water. A multi-stage sampling process was used for these samples including: rig-mounted rotary wet splitter making a 1/8th to 1/16th sample split depending on water quantity, sample bags within stainless steel baskets to catch all material and fluid passing through rotary wet splitter, flocculent was added to sample bags during and after sample collection to retain all solid materials. Wet samples were allowed to dry on-site to a semi-solid consistency. Samples were transported to ALS-Chemex's preparation lab in Zacatecas and gold was analyzed by fire assay and AAS from a 30 g nominal sample weight in ALS Chemex's analytical facilities in Vancouver, Canada.
