Great Bear Resources Limited: Announces Private Placement

Each unit will be issued at a price of $0.20 and will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price $0.27 per share for a period of twenty-four (24) months.

The Company will issue up to 4,000,000 units for gross proceeds of up to $800,000, and reserves the right to increase the size of the placement by up to twenty percent. The securities issued by Great Bear in connection with the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period as prescribed by applicable securities laws. Insiders may participate for a portion of the placement. Finder's fees may be payable as part of this transaction.

Proceeds will be used to advance the Company's projects in the Golden Triangle area of British Columbia, and the Red Lake district of Ontario, as well as for general working capital purposes.
