The Hess property comprises 2,448 hectares and is located in the north range footwall of the Sudbury Mining Camp. The property covers an important 14 kilometers strike of the Hess Offset Dike hosts sulphide showings and adjoins a near surface sulphide zone held by Vale where historic drilling intersected 1.27% nickel, 1.07% copper, and 2.34 gram per tonne platinum, palladium and gold over 7.25 meters. Champion Bear's 100% owned Iron Mask property lies directly on strike of the Hess Offset Dike. In the Sudbury Mining Camp, offset dikes are attractive exploration targets as they host many of the major mines and ore deposits including several recent high grade discoveries such as for example, the Victoria property by Quadra FNX.

The 70 line kilometer deep penetrating geophysical EM survey is being conducted by Abitibi Geophysics employing their new InfiniTEM II system designed to effectively detect buried sulphide bodies. The survey will encompass the entire 14 kilometer extent of the Hess Offset Dike and include the known sulphide showings as well the area where the new dike material was discovered and an area where weak airborne conductive responses occur in proximity to the Dike. No previous ground EM surveys have been conducted on the property. The survey is scheduled to be completed by mid March and results will be immediately analyzed in anticipation of drilling.

Mr Richard Kantor president of Champion Bear said that "This is an exciting stage of the work program for us. The successful summer field programs completed by Wallbridge staff have given us confidence to employ this high power survey which is the first ever ground EM survey conducted on the property. The survey will effectively test this large, highly prospective offset dike for Sudbury footwall-type sulphides and directly and effectively detect sulphide bodies for drill testing."
