Chris Taylor, President and CEO

has overseen several major discoveries through the advanced
exploration, mine development, construction and operational
phases. This includes successfully concluding M&A
transactions collectively worth more than $4
billion. His extensive experience will prove invaluable to
Great Bear as we continue to advance the Dixie project, and we are
very pleased to have him join our team."
Michael Kenyon said, "Great
mining projects under enthused, capable guidance have been a
winning combination in my experience. So I'm especially excited by
the opportunity to work with the solid team of mining professionals
at Great Bear on such an exceptional gold project as Dixie."

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 principle styles of gold
mineralization:
- High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide
replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge
and Arrow). 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.
