Regional Project Acquisition
The Company also announces acquisition of an additional claim
package as part of its regional exploration program. The "Red
Lake North" (or "RLN") property consists of 3,220 hectares of
mineral claims located in what are interpreted to be the Woman Lake
and Flat Lake assemblages of the Balmer Sequence, approximately 70
kilometres northeast of Red Lake. Figure 1. Of
importance, third party logging activities are planned for 2021
that will provide road access to the RLN property for the first
time, facilitating low cost exploration.

the new Red Lake North property.
The property hosts local D2 fold culminations which are
important controls of gold mineralization elsewhere in the
Red Lake area, and contain several
gold-in-quartz vein type historical showings, including limited
historical drilling. The best results consist of generally
less than 1 metre wide veins assaying up to approximately 20 – 25
g/t gold, described in historical reports (e.g. Flint Rock Mines
Ltd., assessment files, Resident Geologist's office, Red Lake. Fyon, A. J. and O'Donnell, L. 1986,
O.G.S. M.P. 132, p. 269, 270, 274).
Great Bear can acquire a 100%, royalty-free interest in the RLN
property through an option agreement with Perry English, Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd., and
1544230 Ontario Inc. (a company controlled by Perry English), whereby Great Bear will pay a
total of $125,000 over a period of
four years, and issue 10,000 shares to the vendors. The
agreement and the issuance of the shares are subject to TSX-V
approval.

About the Dixie Project
The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of
contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located
approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible
year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the
length of the northern claim boundary and a network of
well-maintained logging roads.
The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold
mineralization:
- High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide
replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge
and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized
near regional-scale D2 fold axes. These mineralization styles are
also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
- High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower
grade envelopes (LP Fault). The LP Fault is a significant
gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend
to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by
Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the
Dixie property. High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by
structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade
disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals.
The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments
and volcanic units.
