VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/12 -- Bearing Resources Ltd. ("Bearing", or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BRZ) is pleased to announce the Company has received its first royalty payment from Imperial Metals Corporation ("Imperial"). Bearing holds a royalty on a portion of the Boundary deposit at Imperial's Mt Polly mine in the Cariboo region of British Columbia.


The initial payment of $4,140 relates to 1,656 tonnes mined and milled in August, 2011. The royalty is $2.50 per tonne for the first 400,000 tonnes of material milled and then $1.25 per tonne for all tonnes milled in excess of 400,000 tonnes. The royalty per tonne in excess of 400,000 tonnes milled can be reduced to $0.62 per tonne by Imperial making a payment of $1,000,000. Bearing is entitled to 90% of the royalty payments.



Geoff Chater, President and CEO commented, "We are pleased that Imperial has begun to mine the open-pit portion of the Boundary zone at their Mount Polley mine. We expect to receive more meaningful periodic monthly royalty payments as Imperial develops the deposit. Imperial continues to conduct underground exploration below the open-pit with impressive results. Royalty revenue will be used to advance Bearing's exploration portfolio in British Columbia and Mexico."
