Channel Resources Ltd. ("Channel" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CHU) is pleased
to report on results from its ongoing 10,000 metre Reverse Circulation ("RC")
drilling program on the Tanlouka Gold Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Reported results are from drilling focused on the Mankarga 5 and Mankarga 1
target areas within the five square kilometre Mankarga Zone, located in the
south end of the 105 square kilometre Tanlouka permit.
Mankarga 5 Target Area
Channel has extended the overall strike length of the Mankarga 5 target area
from 950 metres, as reported in its last news release on March 1, 2011, to 1,500
metres. The deposit remains open along strike and to depth, and results to-date
indicate that it can be advanced to the resource estimation stage in the near
term.
Results presented from Mankarga 5 are from six step-out holes for an aggregate
744 metres of drilling that tested as far as 700 metres to the south-west of
Tan11-RC37 and Tan11-RC38, the southernmost holes previously reported,
demonstrating that mineralization extends from line 850NE to at least line
650SW. A map of drill hole locations in Mankarga 5 is available at:

Hole Tan11-RC55 encountered no significant mineralization.
Mineralization in Mankarga 5 is hosted by a shear zone that penetrates a variety
of rock types including altered metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks with some
gabbroic components and a granodioritic rock that contains some of the deposit's
strongest grades. To date only one full section (650NE) has been completed from
hanging wall to footwall, showing a 200 meter wide mineralized envelope.
"Mankarga 5 is developing into what we expect will be an important deposit,
showing a consistency and scale of mineralization that could rival some of the
gold deposits that are now in development or already in production in Burkina
Faso," commented Colin McAleenan, Channel's President and C.E.O. "We continue to
delineate the zone with RC drilling on a nominal 100 metre by 50 metre pattern
and expect to add core drilling in the near future to enhance our understanding
of the deposit's geology and structure as well as to infill-drill the deposit
ahead of a NI43-101 resource estimate. The coring program will also provide
definitive grade information for the deposit which will be especially important
in areas where we believe a shallow water table has contributed to some gold
losses from the RC drill samples."
A total of 26 holes have now been drilled and reported in Mankarga 5 during this
program for a cumulative length of 3,573 meters. Together with the two Phase I
discovery holes reported in August of 2010, a total 24 holes of 28 drilled in
the zone intersected significant mineralization.
Mankarga 1
Twelve holes (Tan11-RC43 to Tan11-RC54 inclusive) were drilled in Mankarga 1 to
follow various indications of mineralized structure and artisanal mine workings
to the East and Northwest of holes Tan10-RC10, Tan10-RC12, and Tan10-RC13, which
had intersected strong showings of mineralization including:
-- 12 metres grading 21.25 g/t Au in Tan10-RC12, as reported on January 20,
2011, and
-- 38 metres grading 3.09 g/t Au in Tan10-RC10, as reported on September 8,
2010.
The follow-up holes tested the zone for continuity up to 375 metres to the
northwest of Tan10-RC12 and in a suspected offset zone 275 metres to the east of
Tan10-RC13. Eight of the holes drilled, Tan11-RC43, 45, 46, 47, 48, 51, 52 and
54 encountered weak mineralization in relatively narrow zones, with the
exception of the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

These results confirm the complexity of Mankarga 1's mineralized structures; for
example, hole Tan11-50 was drilled to undercut the high-grade mineralization
encountered in Tan10-RC12 but did not intersect significant mineralization just
40 metres down the inferred dip of the zone. It is expected that the pending
results from the high resolution airborne magnetic survey in combination with
subsequent core drilling will help to better understand this zone.
Current Drill Program Status and Follow Up
To date, Channel has reported results from 6,813 metres of drilling in 49 holes.
A further 1,050 meters in 10 holes have been completed in Mankarga 5, with
assays pending. In total, 7,863 metres in 59 holes of the contracted 10,000
metre RC program have been drilled.
Most of the assays pending are from holes drilled to test Mankarga 5 for
mineralization as far to the north east as section 1150NE, which could
potentially extend the deposit to a total length of approximately two
kilometers. Holes have also tested the area around the eastern ends of sections
450NE and 550NE in the vicinity of hole Tan11-RC39 which returned the best
intersection to-date from Mankarga 5, 102 meters grading 1.52 g/t gold within a
mylonitized intrusive rock.
The balance of the drilling program will be focused mostly on further
delineating the Mankarga 5 deposit, including extensions to the southwest and
northeast as well as completing additional cross sections.
Channel Resources Ltd. maintains a rigorous quality control program involving
the use of duplicate samples and blanks and certified gold standards from an
accredited Canadian laboratory in every batch of 20 samples. Samples, taken from
two metre intervals, are assayed using standard fire assay on a 50 gram charge
and atomic absorption techniques at Abilab Burkina SARL (ALS Laboratory Group)
in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The drilling program is supervised by John Adams
P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, who has reviewed the
contents of this news release.
(i) Drilling and reporting practices:
-- All holes reported are Reverse Circulation type (RC) with 2m samples for
entire hole lengths
-- All hole collars are set to dip at -50 degrees to their respective
azimuths
-- Cut-off grade used is 0.10 g/T Gold for most of the quoted intersections
-- Internal dilution, where incorporated in the quoted interval, is
generally up to a maximum of 20%
-- Intervals are hole length, true widths of mineralized zones have yet to
be determined
-- No top cut has been applied to the grade
Channel Resources Ltd. is a Canadian TSX.V listed mineral exploration Company
which has an option to earn a 90% interest in the Tanlouka Gold Project in
Burkina Faso, West Africa, the terms of which the Company has already satisfied,
and an option to earn 100% in the Fox Creek Lithium / Potash Brine Project in
Alberta. At Tanlouka, Channel has recently discovered multiple mineralized zones
that are now being explored and expanded through a 10,000 metre reverse
circulation drilling program. At Fox Creek, a bulk sample of brine sourced from
producing natural gas wells is undergoing process testing to determine the most
efficient method of producing various industrial minerals from the brine,
including lithium carbonate, potash, bromine and borates. The Company is
financed to advance both projects through their current programs, and is
actively searching for additional opportunities to expand its project portfolio.
