About Berkwood Resources:

The Lac Gueret South Graphite Property borders the southern boundary of Mason Graphite's Lac Gueret Project which has a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate with measured & indicated mineral resources of 50 million tonnes grading 15.6% Cgr (including 6.6 million tonnes grading 32.4% Cgr).

Berkwood's Lac Gueret East and South Graphite Properties share a similar geological environment to Mason Graphite`s Lac Gueret Property including along strike stratigraphic units and structures.

Berkwood also holds a 100% interest in the Prospect Valley Gold Property near Merritt, BC. 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. This drilling has outlined an extensive low grade epithermal gold system with indications of potential for additional and higher grade mineralization. The system remains open for expansion and other known zones of gold mineralization have yet to be drilled (see Berkwood news release dated January 25, 2012, for details).
