Channel Resources Earns 100% Interest in Fox Creek Mineral Brine Project & Files 43-101 Resource Report

VANCOUVER, 04/30/12 - Channel Resources Ltd. ("Channel" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CHU) is pleased to announce that it has earned its 100% interest in the Fox Creek Mineral Brine Project ("Fox Creek"). The terms of the project acquisition were as described in an option agreement announced on February 24, 2009 and a recent amendment thereto allows the Company to complete the earn-in 10 months earlier than originally contemplated.

The original option agreement with Polaris Capital Inc. granted to Channel the right to acquire a 100% interest in the project, upon payment of $10,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of Channel to Polaris Capital Ltd. ("Polaris") upon execution and on each of the first four anniversary dates of the Agreement. The amendment agreement has allowed Channel to forego the last payment of 1,000,000 common shares so that as of April 25th Channel owns 100% of the project outright with Polaris retaining a 2% gross sales proceeds royalty, which is purchasable for consideration of C$2,000,000.
