BCM Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: B), the "Company", is
pleased to announce the initial analytical results from the current
diamond drilling program at its flagship Shan South molybdenum (Mo)
discovery located 20 kilometres north of Terrace, B.C.
Drilling commenced June 20th and approximately 2,500 metres have
been completed to date. Several additional holes are planned as
part of the initial 2011 drill program.
The objectives of the drill program are twofold: 1) complete
several infill holes to better define the extent and grades of Mo
mineralization within the main Las Margaritas zone, and 2) to test
the tenor and extent of molybdenum mineralization adjacent to the
Las Margaritas zone by completing step-out holes to the east
(peripheral to the Camp Zone), west (including the highly
prospective Shan Fault Offset Zone) and north in the vicinity of a
historic underground adit. The Mo mineralization identified to date
is open in all directions and to depth.
Highlights of the first four holes of infill drilling within the
Las Margaritas area are as follows:

Hole Interval (meters) Length (meters) Mo (%)
LM 043 27.0 - 39.0 12.0 0.043
84.0 - 96.0 12.0 0.086
LM 044 5.0 - 63.0 58.0 0.06

and 42.0 - 54.0 12.0 0.209
LM 045 9.0 - 21.0 12.0 0.049

and 57.0 - 69.0 12.0 0.06
LM 046 1.0 - 102.0 101.0 0.053
including 27.0 - 81.0 54.0 0.072
and 57.0 - 81.0 24.0 0.118
93.0 - 105.0 12.0 0.081
including 96.0 - 102.0 6.0 0.14
LM 046 159.0 - 171.0 12.0 0.03
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LM043 and LM044, both collared from the same drill pad and
drilled to hole depths of 125 metres, were intended to test the
known eastern limits of the Las Margaritas Zone. LM043 was drilled
at an azimuth of 108 degrees and LM044 at 185 degrees and both were
inclined at -45 degrees.
Within the granodiorite intrusive, DDH LM043 encountered 12
metres of 0.043% Mo from 27 to 39 metres depth. This hole also
intersected 12 metres grading 0.086% Mo within volcanic rocks
between hole depths of 84 and 96 metres; this interval also
included a 3 metres section (93 - 96 metres) grading 0.218% Mo.
This is considered to be significant as previously encountered
higher Mo grades have been restricted to granodiorite host
rocks.
DDH LM044 returned 0.060% Mo from the top of bedrock at 5 metres
to a depth of 63 metres, including 12 metres of 0.209% Mo between
42 and 54 metres. The main body of volcanic rocks was encountered
at a depth of 56 metres.
LM045 and LM046 were infill holes collared about 140 metres to
the west of LM043 and LM044. Both holes were drilled from the same
site and same azimuth of 185 degrees. LM045 was inclined at -45
degrees and LM046 at -60 degrees; hole depths were 197 and 201.7
metres respectively.
LM046, the more steeply inclined hole, passed through the
volcanic sheet into granodiorite at a depth of 21.2 metres. This
hole returned 101 metres of 0.053% Mo from a depth of 1metre to 102
metres and included 24 metres of 0.118% Mo between 57 and 81
metres.
Other Targets of the Current Drilling Program
Previous drilling of the Las Margaritas Zone was concentrated in
an area measuring 450 by 110 metres and to a depth of 250 metres.
The current program is designed to test the extent of molybdenum
mineralization over a 4 by 2 kilometre area within which previous
geochemical exploration work identified anomalous molybdenum
values. Las Margaritas is located at the heart of this area.
To further test the extent and depth of molybdenum
mineralization at Shan South, plans are to drill at least one hole
nearby an adit portal which is located approx.1500m northeast of
the Las Margaritas discovery zone and about 500 metres vertically
below. Historical government records of previous work within this
adit (circa 1935 and therefore predating NI 43-101) contain
references to numerous quartz veins with visible molybdenum
mineralization and assay values of up to 0.42% Mo. Rock samples
collected by Company geologists in 2007 from dumps adjacent to the
adit portal returned assay values of up to 0.29% Mo.
Location and Infrastructure
A key advantage of the Shan South property is its proximity to
excellent infrastructure. Adjacent to the eastern part of the
property are a major highway (Hwy 16), waterway (Skeena River and
transcontinental railway with direct rail access to the nearby
deep-water ports of Kitimat (80 km) and Prince Rupert (163 km). A
network of logging roads connecting to Hwy 16 run throughout the
property area and high-power transmission lines are within 4 km. A
skilled work-force is readily available in nearby Terrace, a
community which welcomes mineral exploration and mine
development.
The summer 2011 exploration program is being supervised by Jim
Hutter, P.Geo., a geologist with 35 years experience in British
Columbia, Geological Consultant to BCM Resources and a Qualified
Person as defined by NI 43-101.
