Champion Bear Announces Additional Claims Staked at Eagle Rock,
Exploration Planning and Additions to the Technical Team
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 21, 2014) - Champion Bear
Resources Ltd. ("Champion Bear" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:CBA)
is pleased to announce that it has completed additional mineral
claim staking contiguous with the 100% owned, Cu-PGE Eagle Rock
Property located in NW Ontario, Canada. The Company recently
completed staking of 21 mineral claims covering 4064 hectares and
now the Property position covers the entire highly prospective
Entwine Lake Intrusion.
The Eagle Rock Property overlies the Entwine Lake Intrusive
complex and hosts numerous sulphide showings including the Campbell
Cu-PGE Zone. The Campbell Zone is a continuous, predictable,
reef-like horizon exposed at surface over more than one kilometre.
Seventy five drill intersects define the Zone which remains open in
all directions. A recent internal technical re-assessment of the
Campbell Zone and the entire Eagle Rock Property (Entwine Lake
Intrusion) by the new technical team concluded that the Property
has the potential to host significant additional near-surface
mineralized horizons/structures that have not been adequately
explored to date.
"We are very excited with this new vision of the potential for
Eagle Rock," commented Richard Kantor, Chairman and President of
Champion Bear. "We feel that this potential combined with the great
location, mining-friendly jurisdiction, nearby infrastructure and
excellent community relations make the Eagle Rock Property one of
the best precious and base metal exploration plays in North
America."
The Company is also very pleased to announce the appointment of
Dr. John Corkery as Chief Geologist for the Company. Dr. Corkery is
a renowned geologist with expertise in PGE and Cu. He has worked
extensively in Scandinavia, northern Europe and North America and
most recently as the Chief Geologist with North American Palladium.
Mr. Corkery has a proven track record of discovery and development.
In 2012 Mr. Corkery was presented the Discovery of the Year award
from the Northwestern Ontario Prospectors Association for his work
at Lac des Iles. Mr. Corkery and his team are credited with making
5 new PGE discoveries at Lac des Iles. Further, his team also
defined and expanded the Offset Zone by an order of magnitude.
Dr. Corkery has commenced planning and assembling the full
exploration team for a multi-phase, multi-million dollar strategy
including extensive surface exploration and diamond drilling for
the Eagle Rock Property to fully assess the potential for the
Property to host significant additional mineralized horizons. Mr.
Corkery and his team look forward to the opportunity to work on
such an intriguing deposit. Dr. Corkery commented, "Eagle Rock
could potentially be the next big Cu-PGE play in northwestern
Ontario. It has the real potential to grow by four to five times
its current size."
Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that David
Benson, P.Geo., has joined the team as an Independent Technical
Advisor and a director. Mr. Benson is an accomplished Exploration
Geologist specializing in Project Management, Business and
Strategic Development for resource exploration companies and has
worked as a Consultant to numerous mining and exploration companies

Resources Inc. and Anglo-American Exploration (Canada) Ltd. He
currently sits on the Board of Directors for Bison Gold Resources
Inc. and Kaitsea Gold Inc. Mr. Benson holds a B.Sc. (First Class
Honours) in Geological Sciences from the University of Manitoba. He

Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Manitoba and

from grassroots to development-stage, with mining and exploration
companies for over 15 years including Anglo American Exploration
Canada, Falconbridge (Xstrata), Mustang Minerals, Rockcliff
Resources, Laurentian Goldfields, Bison Gold Resources and most
recently, North American Palladium Ltd. Mr. Benson will advise

and business development strategies and be the company's Qualified
