Lakeland Resources Inc. Announces Acquisition of Two Properties

August 21, 2012 - Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK) (FSE: 6LL) (the "Company" or "Lakeland") is pleased to announce that it has acquired, through staking, a 100% interest in two properties in Kamichisitit Township, located approximately 80 kms to the east of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

The Kam Property consists of one claim (8 units) encompassing approximately 128 hectares and is contiguous to the west of the former producing Copper Prince Mine where a non-compliant 43-101 resource of 50,000 tonnes of 3% copper is reported. This is a historical resource not compliant to NI 43-101. There was no review of the methods of calculating this resource. The Company believes the Kam Property includes the westerly extension of the historically mined Copper Prince vein which appears to have a strike length of some 300 metres exposed from historic trenches where it disappears under thicker overburden.

The Crown Property consists of 1 claim (6 units) covering approximately 96 hectares and is contiguous to the east of the past producing Crownbridge Copper Mine. A portion of the historically outlined "J-Zone" lies within the boundary of the Crown Property which has a non-compliant NI 43-101 reported resource of 135,000 tonnes grading just under 2% copper. This is a historical resource not compliant to NI 43-101. There was no review of the methods of calculating this resource.

The Iron Bridge Copper Area is a district within Algoma, situated approximately 80 kilometres to the East of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The area occupies a sedimentary basin that is confined by two intrusive bodies of granite on the north and south side. Historic mapping by both government and private mining interests suggest that it is positioned at the extreme west end of a regional syncline.

The Company is planning a small prospecting and mapping program to gain a better understanding of the potential of the two projects. Both properties are road accessible and proximal to infrastructure.

The independent Qualified Person responsible for the review and approval of the technical material presented in this news release is Mr. Garry Clark (P. GEO), a Director of Lakeland Resources Inc.. Mr. Clark is an independent Qualified Person as defined by Canada's NI 43-101.
