Bear Lake Announces That Gold Fields has Completed its Due Diligence

22.05.2012  |  Marketwired
LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 05/22/12 -- Bear Lake Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: BLG) (the "Company" or "Bear Lake") is pleased to announce that Gold Fields has completed its due diligence on the Larder Lake Project and will be proceeding with the Option and Joint Venture Agreement. In the course of conducting its due diligence, Gold Fields has drilled two holes for a total of 993 meters. One hole tested the Bear Lake zone and the second hole was drilled at Cheminis.

Bear Lake and Gold Fields expect to meet in the week of June 11, 2012 to review the first work program and budget.

As previously announced, Bear Lake has entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Gold Fields Abitibi Exploration Corporation ("Gold Fields") (a subsidiary of Gold Fields Limited) under which it has the option to earn an interest of up to 60% on a group of claims including the Company's 100%-held Bear Lake, Cheminis and Fernland target areas and on the 75%-held Swansea property by sole funding $40 million in exploration and development expenditures on the projects. Gold Fields can earn an initial 51% interest by spending $25 million over a period of 36 months, including a firm commitment of $5 million during the first 12 months. Gold Fields can earn an additional 9% interest by spending a further $15 million over a period of 24 months following the initial term. If a development decision is made, Bear Lake will have the option to finance its share of the development costs through a loan arranged by Gold Fields with it receiving an additional 5% interest in the projects against the payment of a nominal strike price. If the Company arranges its own financing, it will retain a 40% interest in the projects.

Gold Fields will manage all field work during the option period. A steering committee including two representatives of each of Bear Lake and Gold Fields will be formed to oversee the exploration work and review the work programs during this period. If Gold Fields exercises the option, it will be the operator of the resulting joint venture.
