Bolero Resources 2011 Exploration Activities Update

Marketwired Canada
Bolero Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Bolero"), (TSX VENTURE:BRU),
(FRANKFURT:U7N1) announces an update to its multiple work programs conducted
during 2011. Exploration work focused on the company's two rare earth element
("REE") properties in British Columbia (B.C.), its copper-gold prospect in the
Red Chris area of northern B.C., and its gold property in the White Gold
district in the Yukon. This summary is supported by detailed assessment reports
that are being filed at the appropriate governmental agencies and after filing
will also be available on the Bolero website.
Red Chris South Property, B.C.
Exploration and drilling was conducted and supervised by Discovery Consultants
of Vernon, B.C. under contract to Bolero Resources.
A reconnaissance soil survey, comprising 818 samples, on a grid with line
spacing at 200 metres ("m") and sample spacing along the line at 50m intervals,
was carried out in the northern portion of the Property to follow up historic
anomalous copper and gold values in stream sediments draining northerly from the
Property. Of exploration significance is a coincident
copper-gold-arsenic-antimony anomaly along the north-central boundary of the
property. This anomaly exists on two grid lines (2200 N and 2400 N) and extends
on both lines for 300 metres on a northeast slope. Copper values are up to 114
parts per million ("ppm"), gold to 132 parts per billion ("ppb"), arsenic to 93
ppm and antimony to 10 ppm. Anomalous copper and gold values also occur on line
2000 N, southwest of the main anomaly described above. Multi-sample anomalous
gold +/-copper values also occur on the northern three lines in the area of grid
3500 to 3700 E.

The four holes totalling 1,450 m were drilled to test the two IP anomalies
defined during the 2010 exploration program (see Bolero press release dated
September 14th 2010). Three holes encountered thick sections of Bowser Lake
Group sedimentary rocks and one hole encountered Middle Jurassic Hazelton Group
sediments intruded by a diorite. Mineralization was encountered in hole 3 with
the highest copper value showing 75 ppm copper and the highest gold value
showing 8 ppb. Holes RCS11-02 and RCS11-03 encountered alteration and pyrite,
with minor chalcopyrite in hole 2. Hole 2 also encountered an altered intrusive.
The pyrite in holes 2 and 3 is probably the source for the western IP anomaly.
The lack of mineralization in hole 1 which tested the eastern IP anomaly leaves
a question as to the source of the geophysical anomaly.
Planning is in progress for additional drilling at Red Chris South during 2012.
Holes are being planned to test the soil geochemical anomaly in the northern
part of the property and an additional hole is being considered to follow-up on
the mineralization in the intrusive encountered in RCS11-02.
Wicheeda Property, B.C.
Exploration and drilling was conducted and supervised by Discovery Consultants
of Vernon, B.C. under contract to Bolero Resources.
The 2011 exploration program on the Wicheeda Property comprised prospecting and
rock sampling, grid soil geochemical and magnetometer surveys, and a limited
diamond drill program of 7 holes totalling 1,827 m. In addition, Aeroquest was
contracted to conduct an airborne radiometric and magnetic survey over much of
the property. One outcrop of what appears to be carbonatite was located during
the field season. Petrographic analysis of this igneous unit is in progress.
A total of 83 soil samples were collected to extend anomalous results identified
in the 911 soil grid sampled in 2010. These soils returned lower levels of REE
than detected during 2010. The 7 hole drill program encountered predominately
phyllite except for hole W11-07 which encountered some carbonate-quartz veining
with pyrite and chalcopyrite and an intrusive (identification in progress).
Approximately 4,000 kilometres of airborne Total Magnetic Intensity, eTH and eU
survey was flown by Aeroquest Airborne of Mississauga, Ontario. The results of
this survey are being evaluated and will be integrated with the 2010 and 2011
geochemical results to develop additional drilling targets.
Charge Property, B.C.
Exploration was conducted by Discovery Consultants of Vernon, B.C. under
contract to Bolero Resources.
The 2011 program was limited to initial silt sampling of the southern portion of
the property. A total of fifty samples were collected and analyzed. Total REE
were only slightly anomalous, but there were significant occurrences of
anomalous gold. The data is currently being evaluated to outline a 2012
exploration program.
White Gold Property
Exploration activities at White Gold were conducted by Equity Exploration
Consultants, Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. under contract to Bolero Resources.
The 2011 program consisted of additional soil sampling to enhance the
gold-arsenic anomaly detected in 2010. The 2011 program consisted of a soil
sampling grid that was oriented at 140 degrees. Soil sampling lines were spaced
400 meters apart with samples collected at 100 meter spacing along the lines. A
total of 235 samples were collected in 2011 from the B horizon, where permafrost
permitted. There is a significant gold-arsenic anomaly in the east-central part
of the claims that warrants following up, and has sufficient size to be an
attractive target. Gold values in soil range from below detection limit to a
maximum of 121 ppb. The geology of the property seems to be similar to that of
the Kinross Gold Corporation's nearby Golden Saddle gold deposit.
Additional exploration is being planned for 2012 and will include at a minimum
geological mapping, additional sampling, and trenching. Initial drilling of some
of the better anomalies is being considered.
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. Analytical work for White Gold was
performed by ALS Minerals of Vancouver, B.C. Analyses for the other three
properties were conducted by Acme Labs of Vancouver, B.C. In all cases
sufficient standards and replicates were included to insure quality analytical
results.
