Bearing Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BRZ) ("Bearing", or the "Company") is
pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the Mapimi
gold-silver project located in an area of good infrastructure, approximately 80
kilometres northwest of the Penoles smelter at Torreon in the State of Durango,
Mexico. Mapimi comprises the 13,400 hectare KM66 property, the acquisition terms
for which were announced in the Company's news release dated March 12, 2012, and
the contiguous 100% owned approx. 26,000 hectare Pedro property. The project
exhibits many of the geologic characteristics that typify Goldcorp's Penasquito
and Camino Rojo deposits; in particular, breccia hosted and carbonate
replacement style mineralization potentially associated with buried porphyry
style mineralization. The Company believes that the precious and base metal
mineralization identified to date on the Mapimi property may be indicative of a
larger mineral system under shallow cover.


The Company has recently completed an extensive soil and rock sampling program
at Mapimi, which has led to the discovery of a number of new targets including
the HP Breccia gold prospect, the Las Lajas gold prospect and the Victorinos
gold-silver-lead-zinc prospect (view map at www.bearingresources.ca). A total of
1,124 soil samples and 297 rock samples have been collected to date on the
Project area.


The HP Breccia prospect, located on the Pedro property, is a gold soil anomaly
(greater than 40 ppb gold) extending over a 1,800 x 600m area that coincides
with extensive silicified sedimentary breccias hosted by the Caracol Formation,
which is the key host rock to a number of other gold deposits in the Altiplano
Region of Central Mexico including Goldcorp's Camino Rojo deposit. Of the total
108 rock samples collected at the HP Breccia prospect, 69 samples returned
values greater than 0.1 g/t Au, of which 30 samples assayed greater than 0.3 g/t
gold (to a maximum value of 2.26 g/t gold).


On the KM66 property, a total of 161 soil samples and 32 rock samples have been
collected, primarily in the Victorinos prospect area which define a
gold-silver-lead-zinc soil anomaly over an area of approximately 600 x 500
metres.


Previous work on the KM66 property had defined breccia hosted
silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization at the La Gloria and Las Palmitas
prospects, for which a historic resource has been defined by a previous
operator, as well as a soil anomaly at the North Zone. Ongoing work at Mapimi
includes infill soil sampling between the La Gloria and North Zone soil grids,
and additional sampling north of Victorinos where prospecting has identified a
small feldspar porphyry stock. Fieldwork is expected to continue into the fall
of 2012, and will include an Induced Polarization ('IP') geophysical survey over
the HP Breccia prospect and additional surface sampling of the Victorinos
prospect, in order to define drill targets.


Mapimi Gold-Silver Project Overview

The Mapimi gold and silver project ("Mapimi") comprises a large approx. 40,000
hectare contiguous land position (Pedro & KM66 properties) in the highly
prospective Altiplano Region of Central Mexico. It is located approximately 80
kilometres northwest of the Penoles smelter at Torreon and is bisected by a
paved highway and power lines.


The approx. 26,000 hectare KM66 property covers a five kilometre-long trend of
mineralization that includes the breccia-hosted La Gloria and Las Palmitas
silver-gold-lead-zinc deposits. Great Panther Silver Ltd. ("Great Panther") (who
previously held an option to acquire KM66) filed a technical report containing a
mineral resource estimate compliant with NI 43-101 for the La Gloria and Las
Palmitas deposits titled "Technical Report on the Mapimi Project, Mexico" dated
May 8, 2008 and prepared by Wardrop Engineering ("Wardrop") of Vancouver, B.C.
(the "Technical Report") (a copy of the Technical Report can be found at
www.sedar.com under the profile of Great Panther). The Technical Report
calculated a total of 22,297,800 silver equivalent ounces (6,585,900 tonnes
grading 28 g/t silver, 0.09 g/t gold, 0.41% lead, 1.14% zinc) in the indicated
category and a further 6,305,000 silver equivalent ounces (2,027,900 million
tonnes grading 34 g/t silver, 0.13 g/t gold, 0.54% lead, 0.81% zinc) in the
inferred category using a cut-off grade of 50 g/t silver equivalent.


Metal prices and recoveries used were US $9.55 per ounce and 76 per cent,
respectively, for silver, US $530 per ounce and 70 per cent for gold, US $0.63
per pound and 80 per cent for lead, and US$1 per pound and 80 per cent for zinc.


Bearing cautions the reader that the resource prepared by Wardrop for Great
Panther is considered a "historical estimate" under NI 43-101 and a qualified
person from the Company has not done sufficient work to classify the historical
estimate as a current mineral resource. In order to verify the historical
estimate additional work may be required. This may include, but may not be
limited to, re-evaluation and confirmation of previous drilling and assay
results; validation of QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) procedures and
recalculation of the resource model using current metal price and recovery
assumptions. Bearing is not treating the historical estimate as a current
mineral resource.


In addition to the La Gloria and Las Palmitas resource areas, drilling by Great
Panther identified quartz-molybdenite veins in the Bull's-Eye zone (186.22
metres grading 440 ppm molybdenum) and carbonate replacement deposits in the
North Zone (2.14 metres grading 2.98% zinc and 0.41% lead).


The 100% owned Pedro property covers 26,000 hectares of prospective geology and
includes contiguous land north, east and southeast of KM66 properties. The
geology is dominated by the regionally favourable Caracol Formation and the
younger Ahuichila Formation.
