Chapleau Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CHI) has completed the seven (7) hole
diamond drill program of 1,366.80 m at the La Yegua porphyry copper-gold project
in Peru. Geochemical results for five (5) of the seven (7) holes have been
received of which results for Holes #1 and #3 were previously reported (see
press release of February 20, 2008).


The copper and gold results for Holes #2, #4 and #5 also confirm the presence of
low grade copper and anomalous gold throughout the mineralized crowded feldspar
porphyry which was intersected in the three (3) holes. A summary of the results
is as follows:


- Hole #2 intersected 189.6 m of 0.15% Cu and 0.03 g/t Au from 0 to 189.6m.

- Hole #4 intersected 150.0 m of 0.14 % Cu and 0.05 g/t Au from 20.0 to 170.0 m.

- Hole #5 intersected 56.0 m of 0.14% Cu and 0.06 g/t Au from 18.0 to 74.0 m and
162.7 m of 0.19 % Cu and 0.04 g/t Au from 76.0 to 238.7 m. Included in this was
a 10.0 m interval of 0.48 % Cu and 0.07 g/t Au from 96.0 to 106.0 m.


The low grade copper and anomalous gold values in Holes #2, #4 and #5 together
with, potassic alteration in the form of orthoclase flooding and secondary
biotite within a crowded feldspar porphyry plus disseminated chalcopyrite
mineralization, quartz veining and minor pyrite confirms a porphyry copper
system is present at La Yegua albeit with low grade copper in the holes reported
to date.


The drilling at La Yegua has been confined to a target area of approximately 600
m x 600 m, representing less than 1.0 % of the 4,100 hectare claim block.
Results for Holes #6 and #7 are awaited and summary logs together with copper
and gold values for Holes #2, #4 and #5 are posted on the Chapleau website
www.chapleauresources.com.


La Yegua consists of 4,100 hectares of claims located only 20 km northeast of
the Los Chancas porphyry copper deposit with a reported 4.4 billion pounds of
copper and 771,600 oz of gold (200 million tonnes @ 1.0 % Cu, 0.12 g/t Au and
0.08 % Mo). Los Chancas is owned by Southern Copper Corporation.


On January 29, 2008, Chapleau and Bear Creek Exploration Company Ltd., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bear Creek Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BCM), signed a
Definitive Option Agreement on the La Yegua project whereby Chapleau can earn up
to a 75 % interest in the project. The terms of the Option Agreement allow
Chapleau to earn a 51% interest in the property by spending a total amount of
US$2,775,000 in exploration over a four (4) year period and the granting of the
equivalent of US$350,000 in Chapleau shares during the four (4) years. With the
issuance of an additional 1,250,000 shares, Chapleau may increase the vested
interest from 51% to 75%.


The first four (4) holes at La Yegua were drilled vertically and Hole #5 was
drilled at an angle of 60 degrees with an azimuth of 050 degrees. Drill cores
were taken at a minimum of 0.6 m and a maximum of 2.0 m intervals. All core
samples (HQ and NQ diameter) were cut with a diamond saw and one-half of the
core placed in bags, numbered and sealed then sent via a secure transport agency
to the Company's main office in Lima, Peru for shipping directly to the ALS
Chemex laboratory in Lima. The core samples were then crushed down to 2 mm, and
a split of 250 g was taken and pulverized to better than 85% minus 200 mesh.
Gold analysis was by fire assay of a 30 g sample and an atomic absorption
finish. Copper and an additional 40 elements using aqua regia acid digestion
were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). As part of the Company's
QA/QC program duplicates, blanks and internationally recognized standards were
included in the sample batches to check on assay precision and accuracy. ALS
Chemex which is an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025: 2005 registered laboratory also
has a quality control program in place which includes standards and duplicates.
