BERKWOOD ANNOUNCES TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE HAS ACCEPTED FOR FILING THE PETER LAKE COPPER PROPERTY OPTION IN QUEBEC

Berkwood Resources Ltd. has learned that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing the property option agreement dated Sept. 30, 2012, between Berkwood Resources Ltd. and Group Ressources Gemines Inc. (Michel Belisle), whereby Berkwood has been granted an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Peter Copper property located near Mont-Laurier, Que., that is located in Quebec. Consideration is $100,000 payable over two years and 750,000 common shares. Upon exercise of the option, the company shall pay the vendor a net smelter royalty or equivalent of 2 per cent on all metals produced from the property with the right to buy back 1 per cent at any time for $1-million subject to further exchange review and acceptance.

The Peter Lake property

The Peter Lake property consists of 24 claims totalling 1,403 hectares located in the Mont-Laurier Terrane, in the Central Grenville province, Quebec. The property lies within a sequence of metasedimentary rocks, felsic intrusives and gabbros. Copper-nickel mineralization in the area closely follows northeast controlling structures. The mineralization lies within late gabbroic dikes, and the mineralized structure has been traced for more than two kilometres on surface. The property has the potential to host other minerals including gold, molybdenum and platinum group elements.

Berkwood will immediately conduct a complete compilation of historic geological work, mineralized area mapping and submit check assays. This will be concurrent with surface work, channeling and trenching.
