Mr. Brian Buchanan reports

BERKWOOD COMMENCES 2012 FIELDWORK AT LAC GUERET EAST GRAPHITE PROPERTY IN QUEBEC

Berkwood Resources Ltd. has commenced fieldwork on its Lac Gueret East graphite property, located approximately 290 kilometres north of Baie-Comeau, Que.

The objective of the phase one 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, Que.

The company intends to follow phase one with a phase two work program, consisting of stripping, trenching and sampling. The objective of phases one and two is to generate targets for drill testing in a potential phase three work program, as timing and funds permit. The results from the phase one program will be released when received by the company.

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Alain Moreau, PGeo, who supervised the preparation of the technical information in this news release. Mr. Moreau is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Lac Gueret East graphite property

The Lac Gueret East graphite property consists of 59 claims totalling 3,186 hectares 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 per cent 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 per cent to 40 per cent Cg (carbon graphite) exhibiting flakes up to five millimetres 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 by numerous tertiary and forest roads. Property maps and details are available on the Berkwood website.

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.
