BOW

BOWMORE Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BOW)(FRANKFURT:0B5) ("Bowmore") is pleased
to provide an exploration update on its three main exploration properties, the
St-Victor property located in southern Quebec, the Duverny/StandardGold property
in Abitibi Quebec and the Chivas property located in the Sonora State of Mexico.


St-Victor

The Company has completed its Phase Two drill program on its 100% owned
St-Victor property, located 15 km east of the town of Asbestos in south-eastern
Quebec. The second phase drill program consisted of 5 holes totaling 1200
meters, designed to test the extensions of Wotton NW gold zone, where the 2011
drill program intersected homogenous gold mineralization hosted by
bedded/disseminated pyrite in a unit of black slate (the cross section can be
view at www.Bowmorexploration.com/St-Victor/Mineralizedunit.jpg). The best
intersection in 2011 returned 115 meters grading 0.35 g/t Au (see December 15,
2011 press release). The purpose of the Phase Two drill program was to test the
continuation and potential grade improvement of the stratabound gold
mineralization along strike of a fold structure. The Phase Two program was
successful in that the unit of pyritic slate was intersected in all five holes.
The Company expects to release all results of the program within the next two
weeks.


Duverny/Standard Gold

The Standard gold and Duverny properties are contiguous and are located in
Duverny Township in the Abitibi region of Quebec, about 19 kilometres northeast
of the town of Amos. The property package and immediate area include three known
gold deposits, including the past-producing Standard gold mine, which operated
between 1935 and 1953. Both properties encompass a very large (minimum seven by
eight kilometres) zone of carbonate alteration (ankerite) and an array of shear
zones in proximity to felsic intrusions. Such voluminous carbonate alteration
zones are significant for gold exploration as they are associated with major
know Archean gold camps, including Timmins, Red Lake and Larder Lake in Ontario
as well as Kalgoorlie in Australia. 


Drill testing of the area of the Standard Gold Mine in the winter of 2012
returned encouraging results, including 68 metres grading 0.74 g/t Au (see March
29, 2012 press release). An airborne geophysical survey was completed last
spring, where four high-priority electromagnetic conductors were identified on
the Standard Gold property. A geological mapping and sampling program is
presently underway to better characterize the large carbonate alteration zone
and distribution of gold showings on the property.


Bowmore has an option on both the Standard gold and Duverny properties. It has a
right to acquire a 51-per-cent interest in the Standard gold property from
Threegold Resources by making total cash payments of $280,000 and incurring
expenditures of $4-million over a five-year period. Bowmore may acquire an
additional 19-per-cent interest (total of 70 per cent) by incurring $6-million
in exploration expenditures over an additional five-year period. 


Chivas

The Company completed in late June 2012 Phase One diamond drill program on the
Chivas property located in Sonora, Mexico. This first phase diamond drilling
program consisted of 7 holes for 2065 meters, targeting 3 of the 5 main zones
previously identified by our exploration program. The three zones tested were: 




--  The IP geophysical anomalies on the Silica Cap zone, where moderate to
    strong chargeability values were discovered over large volume of rock
    extending SSE-NNW;

--  The Mesa Blanca zone where high resistivity anomalies at the sub-surface
    were found, 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 alteration mineralogy (buddingtonite)
    from the TerraSpec sampling program done in early 2011;

--  The Piedra Rodante gold-silver zone to follow up on the extensions of
    known mineralization to the south and at depth.



Final assay results of the first drill program are pending and should be
available within the coming weeks. The work on the property so far has
identified a very large 5.2 km2 low sulphidation epithermal system. The Company
has only drilled tested a limited area of this system.


The Chivas Property is composed of 2 claims covering over 24,841 hectares and is
located within the Sierra Madre Occidental gold belt ("SMO"). The SMO is host to
published production and reserves of more than 40 Million ounces of gold and 2
Billion ounces of silver. The property is optioned and operated by Amex
Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMX) ("Amex"). The property is 15 kilometres to
the west of the Dolores Mine previously owned by Minfinders Corporation Ltd. and
now Pan American Silver Corp. The earn-in option provides Bowmore the right to
acquire up to 70% interest in the property (see news release dated April 8,
2010).
