-- Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR; OTC-PINK:
CZSVF) ( "Berkwood") is pleased to announce that it has commenced
field work on its Lac Gueret East Graphite Property, located
approximately 290 km north of Baie-Comeau, Quebec.
The objective of the Phase 1 work program is to delineate
prospective Graphite zones, beginning with an airborne
electromagnetic survey, surface work follow up, and compilation of
historic geological data. The work program will be performed
by EarthMetrix of Mont-Laurier,
QC.
The company intends to follow Phase 1 with a Phase 2 work
program, consisting of stripping, trenching and sampling. The
objective of Phases 1 and 2 is to generate targets for drill
testing in a potential Phase 3 work program, as timing and funds
permit. The results from the Phase 1 program will be released when
received by the company.

Lac Gueret East Graphite Property:
The Lac Gueret East Graphite Property (the "Property")
consists of 59 claims totalling 3186 Ha and borders the eastern
boundary of Mason Graphite's advanced Lac Gueret
Property. A technical report by Tekhne Research on Mason
Graphite's Lac Gueret Property estimated a resource of 7.5
million tonnes grading 20.4% Graphite.
The Lac Gueret East Graphite Property has similar
geological characteristics as that observed at Mason
Graphite's Lac Gueret Property located adjacent and to
the west of the Lac Gueret East Graphite Property. The
Lac Gueret East Property is situated in the Paleoproterozoic
Gagnon Terrain which is considered a para-autochton unit fertile
for graphite in the Grenville
Province of Quebec and
includes biotite/garnet/sillimanite/graphite paragneisses,
dolomitic marbles and intrusive rocks. Graphite in the area is
present in marbles and in contact with or within paragneisses and
ranges from 3% to 40% Cg (Carbon Graphite) exhibiting flakes up to
5 mm in diameter. Large flake graphite is generally considered from
0.2 mm or more in size. The Lac Gueret East Graphite
Property is within three hours of Baie-Comeau by road and is easily accessible
via numerous tertiary and forest roads. Property maps and
details are available on the Berkwood website, please click here.
Investors are cautioned that the graphite mineralization in the
adjacent property is not an indication that similar mineralization
will be found in the Lac Gueret East Graphite Property,
which is still in an early stage of exploration.
About Berkwood Resources:
Berkwood holds a 100% interest in the Prospect Valley Gold
Property near Merritt,
BC. To date, several areas of gold mineralization
have been identified on the 10,871 Ha property. The majority
of historic drilling has taken place in the centre of the claim
block along the Discovery Trend. To date this drilling has
outlined an extensive low grade epithermal gold system with
indications of potential for additional and higher grade
mineralization (see Berkwood news release dated January 25, 2012
for details). The zones remain open for expansion and other known
zones of gold mineralization have yet to be drilled.
