About Great Bear

Great Bear's assets are the 50% owned BA and Surprise Creek zinc-silver-lead properties in the Golden Triangle region of British Columbia, and the Dixie Lake and West Madsen properties in the Red Lake district of Ontario, where it is respectively purchasing a 67% and 100% interest.

The BA project is operated by Great Bear and consists of 24 claims totalling 9778 Ha straddling paved Highway 37A, the primary access route to Stewart, B.C. The property is underlain by stratigraphy that regionally hosts the Eskay Creek deposit, and contains VMS associated mineralization in several locations. In 2010, Great Bear completed a 82 hole, 15,000 metre drill program targeting a 1,200 metre by 800 metre zone of zinc-silver-lead mineralized stratigraphy beginning 2.5 kilometres from the highway. Results from that drilling and pending results from new channel sampling undertaken in 2016 are currently being evaluated to guide the Company's upcoming 2017 work program.

The Surprise Creek project consists of 19 claims totalling 7,472 Ha located immediately north of Highway 37A. The project is underlain by much of the same stratigraphy as BA. Among other targets, Surprise Creek hosts semi-massive to massive zinc-silver-lead mineralization at the "Ataman Zone", which is currently being explored by Mountain Boy.
