Bearing Resources Reduces Carrying Costs For Flume Project




Bearing Resources Reduces Carrying Costs For Flume Project

14-Nov-2016

Bearing Resources Ltd. ("Bearing", or the "Company") (TSX-V: BRZ) wishes to announce that it has exercised the underlying option agreement to acquire the Flume property, White Gold District, Yukon, with Freeport-McMoRan of Canada Limited ("FMCL"). Under the original agreement, as amended on July 1, 2013, an outstanding balance of option payments totalling $145,000 was due to FMCL to complete the final 100% earn-in to the Flume property. FMCL has waived all outstanding payments in return for an additional 0.5% NSR. Bearing now owns 100% interest in the Flume property subject to a 2.5% NSR due to FMCL. The NSR can be reduced at any time to 1% NSR by paying to FMCL $1,500,000.

Bearing had previously optioned the Flume property to Ryan Gold Corp. ("Ryan Gold") who returned the property after incurring over $1.5 million in exploration expenditures (refer news release dated November 7, 2012) and making payments of $175,000 to Bearing. The property is in good standing until 2023. Work by Ryan Gold has outlined a 10-kilometre long linear gold/arsenic soil anomaly hosted by meta-sediments. A drill program in 2012, comprised of 9 holes, returned anomalous gold values within broad shear zones with the best result being 2 metres (core length from 32 metres) of 5.76 grams per tonne gold in hole FL12-06.

The Company's properties in the Yukon are all in good standing for a number of years with no significant carrying costs and the Company plans to seek joint venture partners for them. Robert Cameron P.Geo., President and CEO of Bearing, is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101, and has read and takes responsibility for this news release.
