VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 17, 2008) - Bard Ventures Ltd. ("Bard" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CBS) is pleased to announce the following drill results from its Lone Pine Molybdenum Property (the "Property"). The Property is located approximately 15 kilometers north-northwest of Houston, BC, and is situated in the Omineca Mining Division. Final assay results have been received and interpreted from drill holes BD-08-26, BD-08-27 and BD-08-28.

The significant intervals for hole BD-08-28 are tabulated below:

Hole BD-08-28: Drill hole BD-08-28 was designed to follow up the Northwest trend of the higher grade molybdenum mineralization intitially encountered in drill hole BD-08-25. Drill hole BD-08-25 intersected 730.9m of 0.10% Molybdenum including 130.1m of 0.20% Molybdenum. BD-08-28 was collared 50 meters to the northwest and collared into andesitic rocks through to approximately 110m before encountering the favourable alaskite intrusive. Alaskite continued through to approximately 771m and was shutdown in the Quartz Feldspar Porphyry at 843.34m.

The significant intervals for holes BD-08-26 and 27 are tabulated below:

Hole BD-08-26: Drill hole BD-08-26 was designed to follow up the favourable results of BD-17-16, 100m to the southwest. BD-08-26 collared into Andesitic rocks before quickly becoming an intercalated package of andesite and alaskite up to 353.00m. From 353.00m to the end of hole at 592.34m, moderately mineralized andesite was encountered. The location and extent of the intersected Alaskite intrusive, continues to favour the interpretation that the intrusive body has a northwest strike with a steep southwesterly dip.

Hole BD-08-27: Drill hole BD-08-27 was designed to follow up a fence of drilling that included BD-07-16, BD-07-19 and BD-08-26, by extending the potential window of mineralization another 100m to the southwest. BD-08-27 collared into Andesite and stayed in andesite throughout the entire hole length with few, noted, less than one metre alaskite dykes in the entire drillhole.

The Alaskite intrusive is the main focus of the Lone Pine Property drilling and has been interpreted as being the most favorable lithology for molybdenum mineralization. To date, the Alaskite intrusive is 260m in length along its northwest-southeast strike and 310m wide in plan view and molybdenum mineralization has been tested to a known depth of 843m. A higher grade corridor of molybdenum mineralization has been outlined within the Alaskite intrusive as shown in the favourable assay results from BD-07-16, BD-08-24, BD-08-25, BD-08-26, BD-08-27 and BD-08-28.

Of importance to note is the existing infrastructure on the Property, which includes Highway 16, natural gas pipeline, a major hydro power transmission line and transformer sub-station, and it is located only 15 kilometers from the CN rail line in Houston, BC.

Bard is earning a 100% interest in the Property under the terms of an option agreement (see News Release dated September 15, 2006). The Lone Pine exploration work is being conducted under the supervision of Qualified Person Jim Miller-Tait, P. Geo., a Director of Bard. ;;;

Samples from BD-08-26 to BD-08-28 were analyzed at Eco Tech Laboratories in Kamloops, British Columbia. Analytical procedures consist of a 28 element ICP analysis; package BICP-11, followed by assay for any molybdenum ICP analyses greater than 500 ppm.
