Bard Ventures Ltd. TSX VENTURE: CBS

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 9, 2009) - Bard Ventures Ltd. ("Bard" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CBS) is pleased to provide the preliminary metallurgical results received from G & T Metallurgical Services Ltd. based in Kamloops, B.C. The metallurgical work was completed on representative core samples from the Alaskite Zone molybdenum mineralization on the Lone Pine Property located in the Omineca Mining Division approximately 15 kilometres north-northwest of Houston, BC. The claims cover several known molybdenum showings named the Quartz Breccia, Granby, Mineral Hill Zones and the main high priority Alaskite Zone that has been the focus of the majority of the diamond drilling completed to date.

G & T Metallurgical completed the mineralogical and metallurgical test work on approximately 50 kg of representative quartered NQ2 size core assaying 0.060% molybdenum and 0.034% copper from the Alaskite Zone on the Lone Pine Property. The results of this first phase of testing are encouraging with the following results reported from G & T Metallurgical:

- Rougher circuit flotation tests produced molybdenum recoveries of 90% or greater to the rougher concentrate;

- open circuit batch cleaner tests produced concentrate grades as high as 43% molybdenum;

- the Bond ball work index of 14.1 kWh/tonne; and

- the sulphides present in order of abundance are pyrite/pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite.

The Company is very pleased with these initial results which add another critical component to the economics of the Lone Pine mineralization.

Ideal location with established infrastructure

The Property has access to an existing infrastructure including:

- Highway 16;

- a natural gas pipeline;

- a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station; and

- is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.
