Initial work at “Red Chris South“ will focus on geological mapping and geochemical sampling in the western portion of the claims that were not covered during the 2010 program. This work is being conducted by Discovery Consultants of Vernon, B.C., who will also supervise the upcoming drilling, logging and splitting of the core, and maintain sample integrity until the material is shipped to the analytical lab. Falcon Drilling of Prince George, B.C. will drill four holes, each approximately 400 meters deep starting in July 2011. Two holes will test the western IP anomaly and two holes the eastern IP anomaly, which were identified during the 2010 geophysical survey.

Bolero Resources' President and CEO, R. Bruce Duncan, stated “The “Red Chris South“ prospect displays similar geological characteristics as Imperial Metals' neighboring “Red Chris“ copper/gold discovery and could be a flagship project for Bolero. Drilling is scheduled to commence shortly throughout July 2011 to test multiple significant anomalies identified through 2010 sampling programs and IP surveys. Bolero's drilling plans for 2011 include the “Red Chris South“ prospect, the “Carbonatite Syndicate“ Rare Earth Element prospect, and the “Charge“ “REE“ prospect, all located in British Columbia. Drilling is fully funded, drill permits are in place and drilling is expected to commence shortly.“
