BOWMORE Exploration Ltd.: Three Significant Geophysical IP Anomalies Found on Chivas, Mexico

BOWMORE Exploration Ltd. (BOW: TSX-V, 0B5.F: Frankfurt "Bowmore”) is pleased to announce the identification of three significant geophysical anomalies following a Pole-dipole Induced Polarization survey (the "IP Survey”) conducted on the Chivas property in Sonora, Mexico. The Chivas property is optioned from Amex Exploration Inc. (AMX: TSX-V). The IP survey was initiated in June and completed in early August 2011, targeting the Silica Cap and the Mesa Blanca zones where previous exploration work in 2010 and 2011 identified a large low sulphidation epithermal system within the Chivas property (see news release October 26, 2010 and news release July 14, 2011).

Six lines, spaced at two hundred meters apart trending East-West were surveyed for a total of 19.7 linear kilometres The survey was conducted by Geofísica TMC SA de CV from Mexico.

The results of the survey allowed for the generation of a reliable 3D model of the electrical properties of the rock up to 550 meters depth and identification of three (3) IP anomalies named IP1, IP2, and IP3. The amplitude of the chargeability anomalies is described as weak to moderate, indicating pervasive oxidation along a favourable corridor. The resistivity results outlined zones of high resistivity indicating the presence of anomalous silica content and the high chargeability anomalies represent zones of anomalous disseminated sulphides in rock. All 3 anomalies overlap well defined occurrences of surface (buddingtonite) alteration identified by previous work programs.

The IP1 anomaly covers the eastern part of the Silica Cap zone and extends at depth in the western part of the grid. The chargeability values are week to moderate and occupy a large volume of rock, 500-800 meters in width extending in the SE-NW direction towards the Mesa Blanca zone. The weak to moderate chargeability reflects a pervasive oxidation of the disseminated sulphides throughout the anomalous corridor.

The IP2 anomaly extends at shallow depths along the eastern flanks of IP1 between the Silica Cap and the Mesa Blanca zones. It corresponds to a high resistivity anomaly at the sub-surface indicating the presence of anomalous silica content associated with disseminated sulphide. It also corresponds to previous surface sampling and identification of high silicification and a large area with presence of anomalous buddingtonite from the TerraSpec sampling program done in early 2011.

The IP3 anomaly extends at shallow depth along the Mesa Blanca zone and remains open towards the northwest (Piedra Rodante zone). The anomaly has the same SE-NW trends as IP1 and IP2. It corresponds to a high resistivity anomaly suggesting the presence of strong silicification.

The Company is in the process of planning road access towards these intended targets and is preparing a budget for a diamond drill program planned in early 2012. The diamond drill program will be to test these anomalies and other targets that were identified in previous exploration work programs within this 5.2 km² area.

Mr. Paul Dumas, President and CEO of Bowmore Exploration Ltd., stated: "The IP survey results identified important anomalies as priority drilling targets within this very large epithermal system as well as corroborating all previous work programs that have outlined this vast 5.2 km² area. We are excited and looking forward in drilling these targets in the New Year. The results to date are very encouraging, the property being very well located within the Sierra Madre Gold Trend and only 15 km East of the "Dolores Mine” represent’s great potential for the Company”.
