Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BCK) ("the Company" or "Blind Creek")
reports that since 2004 up to the present time the Company has been focusing
mineral exploration on the historic Atlin gold camp and areas adjacent to the
historic Engineer Gold camp on Tagish Lake, NW-BC for gold and silver in
addition to the Mayo Mining District Yukon where it is also focusing on gold and
silver. Tables 1&2 show six Company targets.

During 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2010 the Company completed approximately 5,000
meters of reconnaissance NQ core drilling in the Atlin Camp, and during 2011
drilled 3,330 meters of reconnaissance diamond drilling using NTW core 4 km
south of the historic Engineer Gold-Silver Mine, on the Wann River Project.
Although reconnaissance drilling in the Atlin Camp has not yet proven a hidden
resource, the Wann River area is indicating hidden gold-silver mineralization in
altered granodiorite-diorite quartz stockwork system adjacent to a major fault
zone.
During 2011 drilling at Wann River indicated gold-silver to be present over a
650 meters strike length open in all directions, with returns up to 11.3 g/t
gold and 226.0 g/t silver.
The Company is currently preparing light-weight helicopter portable drilling
equipment for further drilling at Wann River Project, 34 Km west of the Atlin
gold camp, commencing 15th April 2012. Later in the Summer the drill will be
moved north to Table Mountain, 15 Km Northwest of the Atlin gold camp were a
geochemical gold/silver-in-soil anomaly found in 2011 season. This gold-silver
anomaly still has to be defined, but indications are it is at least 600 meters
wide within a lead zinc halo 2,000 meters wide and still open.
Both the above two projects are accessible to sealed roads which lead to the
Alaska Highway, including the White Pass Rail route to Skagway, via 80
kilometers of Tagish Lake waterway. The Wann River project is situated
immediately adjacent viable hydro-electric power resource.
At Blende lead-zinc-silver property in the Mayo Mining District, 25,200 meters
of drilling has been completed by the Company and previous operators. The
Company has spent $6 million on the property. The historic mineral resource is
15.3 million tonnes grading 3.05% zinc, 3.23% lead and 67.5 g/t silver.
Currently the Company is planning a new resource estimate and new 43-101
technical report.
Staking in the Fall of 2010 was to link the Blende property to the proximity of
the Newly named Yukon Carlin Trend and Ocelot projects managed by ATAC Resources
Ltd. 2011 geochemical surveys suggest the presence of silver within these newly
staked quartz claims.
During the Winter and Spring of 2011 the Company acquired 272 quartz claims
(5,684.8 ha) 16 km east of the high grade silver Bellekino Mine near Kino Hill,
and follow-up geochemistry surveys during 2011 are indicating subtle anomalous
trends in gold-silver-lead. Work by United Keno Hill Mines during 1965 located
mineralized veins with grab samples grading up to 899 oz silver and 72% lead 2
km west of the Company boundaries.
In addition, during 2010 the Company acquired 153 quartz claims (3,197.70 ha)
within a west extension of the New Yukon Carlin Trend where it is looking for
indications of gold.
The Company is currently gearing-up for an aggressive 2012 Exploration program
starting in mid-April.
The Company now has an updated website with information and technical reports at
