Great Bear Resources (TSXV:GBR, OTC:GTBDF) today announced that crews are being mobilized for the Phase 2 drill program at its Dixie Lake gold project, located in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

The 3,000 metre Phase 2 drilling program is designed to test four zones on the property: Dixie, Hinge, South Limb and NW zones. The Dixie zone was drilled by GBR in the summer of 2017, with significant gold results in all holes drilled. See news release dated September 7, 2017 and November 2, 2017 which included a highlight interval of 10.40 m of 16.84 g/t gold. The Hinge zone was drilled in 2008 and 2010 by previous operators and the South Limb was last drilled in 2004. The NW zone, located approximately 1.7 km northwest of the Dixie zone, was last drilled in 2005; mineralization similar in nature to the Dixie zone was intersected. A table of historical drill result highlights from Dixie Lake is provided in Table 1 below.
