Aeroquest Airborne Survey to Further Define High Priority Rare Earth
Targets

Bolero Resources Corp. (the
'Company' or 'Bolero'), (TSX-V: BRU), (FRANKFURT: U7N1) announces that
it has
retained Areoquest Ltd. to undertake state-of-the-art AreoTEM and
Radiometric
geophysical airborne surveys on the highly prospective 'Carbonatite
Syndicate
Rare Earth Claim Group,' 80 km northeast of Prince George, BC. These
airborne
surveys will be integral in further defining high priority drill
targets in
preparation for an upcoming drill program.

Bolero Resources' President and CEO, R. Bruce Duncan, stated 'The
Areoquest
airborne survey is considered one of the best in the industry and will
allow us
to further define existing high priority Rare Earth drill targets.
We are
excited to have confirmed the presence of Rare Earth Elements on our
ground and
eagerly await additional upcoming assay results. Drilling is
expected to
commence shortly, following the interpretation of the airborne data. We are
also
awaiting results from multiple IP surveys recently conducted on our 'Red
Chris
South' prospect, contiguous to Imperial Metals Corporation's (III -
TSX) Red
Chris' Copper/Gold discovery. where recently, they announced a drill
hole
intercept of 528.7 metres grading 1.97 g/ton gold and 1.13% copper. '
(Imperial
Metals news release, April 12(th) 2010)

The airborne geophysical and radiometric surveys will consist of over 400
line
kilometres to be flown at 200-metre line spacing. The AeroTEM system is the
HTEM
system of choice in British Columbia for its superior ability to
contour in
rugged terrain. The airborne survey will focus on further defining high
priority
Rare Earth targets contiguous to the East and South East of Spectrum
Mining's
'Wicheeda' Rare Earth discovery, that recently returned grades of 3.55%
rare
earth elements ('REE') over 48.64 metres

Soil and Silt samples from Bolero's ground show concentrations for Cerium
(Ce)
and Lanthanum (La) up to 631 ppm and 377 ppm respectively, with 20
samples
showing total Rare Earth contents above 1000 ppm. Pathfinder elements
such as
Niobium (Nb) and Barium (Ba) also show distinct elevated concentrations
against
background, indicating their applicability for local exploration.

Dr. Roger Steininger, Ph.D., CPG (AIPG), a Company Director, is the
'Qualified
Person' (as such term is defined by NI 43-101) responsible for the
preparation
of the technical information in this release.
