CBA Champion Bear Resources Ltd

Champion Bear Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CBA)  ("Champion Bear" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from drilling on its
100% owned Eagle Rock Cu-Au-Pt-Pd property located 70 kilometres south of
Dryden, northwestern Ontario.


HIGHLIGHTS

Nine diamond drill holes totaling 2,501 metres were completed on the Campbell
Zone where drilling continued to extend the sulphide zone to the northwest.
Drill hole intercepts include: 


ER09-19 intersected 13.0 metres grading 1.70 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.87% Cu+Ni

Including 5.0 metres grading 2.19 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.92% Cu+Ni 

ER09-14 intersected 15.0 metres grading 1.28 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.70% Cu+Ni

ER09-21 intersected 34.0 metres grading 1.30 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.55% Cu+Ni

Including 12.0 metres grading 1.77 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.69% Cu+Ni

Richard Kantor, President of Champion Bear stated "We are very pleased with the
successful results of the phase II drill program, particularly hole ER09-19.
This is a very encouraging result and the horizon remains open along strike to
the northwest and once again demonstrates the robust continuity of the Campbell
Zone. We believe the Campbell Zone and host Entwine Intrusive Complex has very
good exploration potential and we have recently staked claims covering a large
portion of Entwine. The plan is to fly a high-resolution airborne magnetic
survey and complete a rigorous summer field program with the aim to locate new
targets in anticipation of further drilling. And, of course, there is phase III
drilling to be completed at Campbell, so overall we strongly believe in the
exploration potential of the Eagle Rock property where drilling continues to
extend the mineralization at Campbell. We will also investigate the other
sulphide showings along the Campbell Zone trend as well as evaluate the blue-sky
potential on the newly staked claims."  


PHASE II 2009 DRILLING

In February 2009, the Company completed a nine hole, 2,501 metre drill program
at the Campbell Zone on the Eagle Rock property. This news release describes the
results of the phase II program. Drilling was designed to evaluate the nature
and extent of the Cu-Au-Pt-Pd sulphide mineralization that characterizes the
Campbell Zone. Specifically, six holes tested the strike extension of the Zone
to the northwest and three holes followed-up successful results from the phase I
drilling conducted in November 2008 (see news releases dated November 6, 2008
and January 5, 2009).

Hole ER09-19, testing the strike extension of the Campbell Zone on line 300W
intersected the highest grade interval of the program and one of the best grade
intervals thus far drilled on the property. The high grade interval assayed 2.19
g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.92% Cu+Ni over 5.0 metres and is hosted within a 13.0 metre
zone grading 1.70 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.69% Cu+Ni. The zone remains open to the
northwest. 


Hole ER09-14, a step-out hole on line 150W intersected a 15.0 metre section of
the Campbell Zone grading 1.28 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.56 % Cu+Ni contained within a
broad 31.0 metre mineralized zone. ER09-15 was drilled 100m down-dip of ER09-14
and intersected 10.0 metres grading 1.14 g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.60 % Cu+Ni
demonstrating the continuous and consistent nature of the zone that can be
effectively tested with broad step-out holes.


On line 050W, 2 holes successfully followed-up positive results from the phase I
completed in late 2008. Hole ER09-21 in-filled a gap in the drilling and
intersected a good grade interval over 12.0 metres that returned 1.77 g/t
Au+Pt+Pd and 0.69 % Cu+Ni within a mineralized section grading 1.30 g/t Au+Pt+Pd
and 0.55 % Cu+Ni over 34.0 metres. On the same section, ER09-22 extended the
Zone down-dip and encountered 2 mineralized intervals one of which graded 1.32
g/t Au+Pt+Pd and 0.57 % Cu+Ni over 8.0 metres. 


THE CAMPBELL ZONE TREND

The Campbell Zone lies at the north end of an 11 kilometre long trend defined by
the occurrence of several sulphide showings and a magnetic high signature. This
favourable horizon has received only minimal past exploration efforts and,
outside of the Campbell Zone, has only been tested with one drill hole. The
Company plans a summer field program of sampling, prospecting, and geological
mapping to better define the nature and extent of the zone and determine the
prospects for better and high grade Cu-Au-Pt-Pd material and generating targets
for drill testing.


STAKING

The Company has completed additional staking covering approximately 8000
hectares effectively tripling its property size at Eagle Rock. The new staking
covers a 20 kilometre long portion of the Entwine Intrusive Complex that hosts
the Campbell Zone as well as several other sulphide showings along the 11
kilometre long Campbell Zone trend. The Entwine Intrusive is defined by a
distinct magnetic high signature due in part to the presence of ultramafics and
gabbroic rocks as well as monzonite rocks that host the sulphide mineralization
at the Campbell Zone. The new property covers a portion of Entwine that has had
very little previous exploration activity and remains essentially unexplored.
The Company plans to conduct a summer field program of sampling, prospecting,
and mapping as well as to complete a High-Resolution Airbourne Magnetics (HRAM)
survey. The HRAM survey will provide valuable data to best define the location
and extent of the favourable rocks potentially hosting new sulphide occurrences.

QUALITY CONTROL

The quality control, technical information and all aspects of the diamond drill
program were supervised by Rob Foy, P. Geo., a qualified person, of Foy
Geological Services, Champion Bear's consulting geologist. Diamond drill core
was logged, marked for sampling and saw cut at the Company's facility near
Dryden, Ontario. Half the core was sealed in new plastic sample bags while the
remaining half core was retained and securely stored for future reference.
Plastic sample bags were then sealed in rice bags, and shipped directly by
Courtesy Freight Ltd. to Activation Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario for
preparation and analysis which was conducted in Ancastor, Ontario. Gold,
Platinum, and Palladium analyses were assayed by Fire Assay-MS technique, Cu and
Ni and remaining elements were analysed with TD-ICP package. Full descriptions
of these analytical techniques and procedures, may be examined on the
Activation's web site www.actlabsint.com. The laboratory carries out a
comprehensive internal quality control program including certified calibration
standards, duplicate analyses, and insertion of blanks. Full assay certificates
are available from the Company on request.
