Bearing Resources Ltd. announces results from its 1,172 metre (7 hole) diamond drill program at the Parrandera gold-copper property located in the Mapimi region of Durango, Mexico.

The drill program was highlighted by drill hole PA12-01 which returned 12.95 metres grading 0.858 grams per tonne (g/t) gold beginning at a down hole depth of 16.3 metres. While the drill program identified gold and copper mineralization over narrow intercepts, the results did not meet Bearing’s exploration target criteria therefore the Parrandera property will be returned to the property vendors.
