Overview

Bard Ventures is focused on two projects in British Columbia north of the town of Houston.  Both properties are prospective for molybdenum and silver.  Both projects are close to excellent infrastructure including a rail line, high voltage power lines, a gas pipeline and a highway.

Investment Highlights

• High grade moly zone discovered
• Potential for large tonnage, high grade deposit
• Excellent local infrastructure and support

Chief Properties

Lone Pine Property

The Lone Pine Property consists of seven mineral claims covering 1051 hectares, approximately 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC.

Bard has drilled 41 holes, totalling 21,557.36m, in the Alaskite Zone so far. 11 holes are collared in Alaskite, and average grades of 0.07 to 0.1 % Mo over at least 700 m from top to bottom of hole.

Recent drilling at the eastern margin of the Alaskite Zone intersected strongly sheared volcanic and granitic intrusive stratigraphy followed by hornfelsed volcanics. Over limit assay results from drillhole BD-09-51 within hornfelsed volcanics returned 1.3% zinc and 396gmt silver over 2.0m within a 4.0m interval in addition to 0.013% Mo. Re-analysis of over limit base and precious metal results from six other drill holes included 529gmt silver over 2.0m within the quartz feldspar granite and 2.12% copper, 9.03% zinc and 303gmt silver over 0.5m at the granite intrusive contact in BD-09-53. Over limit results from BD-09-54 report 1.66% copper, 4.02% lead, 5.00% zinc and 2,400gmt silver over 0.4m within hornfelsed volcanics.

Grouse Mountain Property

The Property is located approximately 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC, and is situated immediately to the north of Bard's Lone Pine Molybdenum Project.

Bard conducted a geochemical survey on the Grouse Mountain Property in August and September of 2009.  A total of 356 soil samples and 6 rock samples were collected and submitted for analysis.

The results of the soil geochemical survey clearly define five distinctly anomalous multi element copper, zinc and silver geochemical trends. The geological mapping program broadly identified the major units underlying the survey grid. During the course of the mapping program, three areas of historical trenching were located in close proximity to anomalous soil geochemical results.
