Channel Resources Reports Final Drilling Results for Mankarga 5 Resource Estimate at Tanlouka Gold Project, Burkina Faso

Marketwired Canada
Channel Resources Ltd. ("Channel" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CHU) is pleased
to report final assay results from its 15,400 metre core definition drilling
program on the Mankarga 5 gold deposit at the Tanlouka Gold Project ("Tanlouka")
in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Results reported in this release are from infill holes along nominal 100 metre
spaced lines targeting previously intersected mineralized structures.
The Mankarga 5 core-drilling program was completed in February of 2012, with
over 15,400 metres in 71 holes drilled, assay results for all of which have now
been reported. This program's results, together with those of 58 RC holes for
7,096 metres drilled previously on Mankarga 5 will form the basis of a maiden
resource estimate for the deposit currently being prepared by AMEC Americas Ltd.
The drilling program has so far delineated a mineralized zone that is over two
kilometres long and up to 300 metres wide on the northeast-trending Mankarga 5
structure. The main objectives of this program have been to provide a geological
and structural context for the deposit, to further expand the zone and to
support the deposit's maiden resource estimate. Mineralized zones are steeply
dipping to the northwest, the majority extending from surface, and reported
widths for all holes drilled at -50 degrees to azimuth 120 degrees (southeast)
are believed to be in the range of 80-90% of true width. The deposit remains
open along strike and to-depth, with mineralization encountered to a maximum
vertical depth of approximately 260 metres in the current program.
Detailed results from the eight holes reported in this release are presented in
order of their location on sevent sections on the Mankarga 5 grid in Appendix A
to this release, and can be viewed on a drill hole location map presented on the
Company's website at http://www.channelresources.ca/i/pdf/CHUmap070412.pdf.
Mankarga 5 cross sections are also available for download at
http://www.channelresources.ca/s/Tanlouka.asp. Please refer to Channel's
drilling, sampling and assay reporting practices below the results tables for
further information on how the results are reported.
Exploration of the Tanlouka Project Advancing Quickly
Channel's activities at the Tanlouka gold project are focused on both advancing
the Mankarga 5 deposit as quickly as possible through to feasibility and
development, and demonstrating the exploration potential of the Mankarga 5
deposit and the remainder of the permit. The Company expects to report on
numerous work programs in the near future, including:
-- Metallurgical testing on oxidized and non-oxidized samples from the
Mankarga 5 deposit;
-- Maiden resource estimate for the Mankarga 5 deposit;
-- 2,000 metres of core drilling recently completed in the area of the
Mankarga 1 target, to follow up on previous high-grade discovery holes
drilled in 2010, and also to investigate possible mineralized continuity
between Mankarga 5 and Mankarga 1; and,
-- Soil sampling programs underway on the Manesse and Tanawaka target areas
to the north of the Mankarga Zone on the 79 square kilometre Tanlouka
permit.
Future drill programs and other exploration activities are being planned for
Mankarga 5 and other targets on the Tanlouka project, based on the results of
current programs and will be announced as the news becomes available.
Note re QA/QC Testing Procedures
Channel Resources Ltd. maintains a rigorous quality control program involving
the use of duplicate samples and blanks and certified gold standards from an
accredited Canadian laboratory in every batch of 20 samples. Core samples are
assayed using standard fire assay techniques on a 50-gram charge with an atomic
absorption finish by ACTLABS - Burkina Faso SARL, SGS Burkina Faso SA and Abilab
Burkina SARL (ALS Laboratory Group) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. RC samples
discussed in this release were assayed using the same methods at Abilab Burkina
SARL (ALS Laboratory Group) in Ouagadougou. The drilling program was supervised
by John Adams P.Geo., a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, who has
reviewed the contents of this news release.

Drilling, sampling and reporting practices:
-- All hole collars are set to dip at -50 degrees to their respective
azimuths.
-- Core holes are sampled geologically with a maximum sample interval of
1.5 metres.
-- "Mineralized rock" is defined as rock with a grade of over 0.10 g/t Au.
-- "Significant assay results" is defined as samples, or series of
consecutive samples, with grade thickness (i.e. weighted average gold
grades multiplied by their intervals), of greater than 2.0.
-- The amount of internal waste (i.e. with a grade of less than 0.10 g/t
Au) included in a reported mineralized interval does not exceed 10%.
-- No top cut has been applied to the individual grades before weighted
average grades have been calculated.
-- Unless otherwise stated, reported intersections are downhole lengths.
True widths, other than as estimated on each section, shall be
determined once geological modeling of the zone has been completed.
