2012

THUNDER BAY, ON, August 22, 2012 – Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KES) (the "Company" or "Kesselrun"), is pleased to announce that it has acquired additional mining claims adjacent to its Bluffpoint project (“Bluffpoint”) located in Northwest Ontario.

A further 47 mining claims covering 11,168 hectares were staked as a result of evaluation of preliminary results of the summer exploration program.

The 2012 summer exploration program continues with the goal to follow up and expand on previous work to better define drill targets for a forthcoming drilling program this fall. Previous work by Homestake Canada Ltd. (now Barrick Gold Corporation) recognized the potential for the Bluffpoint project to host a large tonnage, granite-hosted gold deposit.

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President & CEO of Kesselrun stated, “The recent acquisition of mining claims covers on strike targets generated as a result of the evaluation of our preliminary results of our exploration program.  We are very excited at the potential the Bluffpoint project holds and are looking forward to advancing the project to the drill ready stage.”

Kesselrun’s flagship Bluffpoint Project now consists of 103 mining claims covering 22,576 hectares in Northwest Ontario's Wabigoon Subprovince, host to several recent gold discoveries such as Osisko's (TSX:OSK) Hammond Reef Project and Rainy River’s (TSX:RR) Rainy River Project. Accessible year round by a network of well-maintained logging roads, Bluffpoint offers low cost exploration in an emerging prolific gold district.

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Kesselrun, is the Qualified Person responsible for the Bluffpoint project and has approved the technical information in this news release.
