Stratton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SI) ("Stratton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce exploration progress at its Bear Canyon Copper Project ("Bear Canyon") as well as the first set of assay results from drilling at the MAC Molybdenum-Copper Project ("MAC"). In addition, the Company has filed an inaugural National Instrument 43-101 (the "NI 43-101") report for its 100% owned Lunar Copper-Gold porphyry exploration property in northern British Columbia.
MAC Exploration Update
Stratton's initial objective at MAC is to confirm, expand and quantify the historic, non NI 43-101 compliant, molybdenum-copper resource. The first phase of this work, designed to produce an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate, is to drill 10,000 metres of diamond drill holes in the Camp zone, conduct airborne geophysics over the entire land package and conduct approximately 60 line kilometers of ground IP over the Peak, Camp and Pond zones.
To-date, the Company has completed:
-- 7,800 metres (35 holes) of diamond drilling with two rigs currently active on site. -- Airborne geophysics over all 13,000 hectares of claims at 100 to 200 metre line spacing. -- 34 line kilometers of ground IP and 60 line kilometers of line cutting.
One diamond drill is deployed on the north-west contact of the Camp zone and one on the east contact.
Please click the link below for a drill hole location map of the 35 holes drilled to-date or see the Company's website at www.strattonresources.com.

Holes 1 through 5, 7 and 9 were drilled on the east contact zone and all holes show significant molybdenum-copper mineralization including a highlighted intercept of 93 metres of 0.123% Mo and 0.219% Cu.

Holes 6, 8 and 10 were drilled on north-west contact and show significant molybdenum-copper mineralization including a highlight intercept of 95 metres at 0.153% Mo and 0.155% Cu.

Stratton's President and CEO, Greg McCunn commented: "We are very encouraged with the initial drill results from the MAC Project. These results show the potential to both increase the previously understudied copper grades of the historical resource as well as expand upon the historic resource. We plan to complete both the initial 10,000 metres of diamond drilling and 60 line kilometers of ground IP in mid December. The complete program's drilling results will be compiled into an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, which will be completed in early 2012."
Bear Canyon Exploration Update
The first phase of drilling at Bear Canyon commenced in early October with the objective of evaluating an IP geophysical anomaly that had been defined by prior work and occurred under and along strike from surface oxide copper and native copper occurrences.
To-date, seven drill holes have been completed with assay results from the drilling still pending. Drilling has intercepted broad sections of volcaniclasitics with matrix-supported intrusive and volcanic fragments. Certain of these fragments show developed copper-porphyry mineralization with observed chalcopyrite, bornite and molybenite. In addition, narrow veins of epidote and native copper occur regularly throughout the drill core and are thought to be providing a vector toward an area of increasing strength of mineralization.
Greg McCunn commented: "This first phase of drilling has enhanced our view that Bear Canyon represents an exciting opportunity for a new discovery in an area known to host large copper porphyry deposits. The property has never been evaluated by magnetic surveying, which we believe is the next important step to determine if the intrusive source of this porphyry mineralization is nearby."
The Company plans to fully evaluate the drilling results as they become available and to undertake an airborne mag survey of the entire 2,200 hectare claim area.
Lunar Project
In late October, the Company completed an initial NI 43-101 report on its 100% owned Lunar Copper-Gold porphyry exploration target. The report describes the underlying geology of the project area, summarizes the properties exploration history and reviews the nature of the property's mineralization. A work program has been proposed which will be used to develop the Company's exploration program for 2012. The report is available on both SEDAR and the Company's website at www.strattonresources.com.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
