CCM Research Issues Initial Report on Bard Ventures Ltd.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
CCM Research analyst, Kipley J. Lytel, CFA, has written an initiating
report on Bard Ventures Ltd.

Bard Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CBS) (PINK SHEETS: BVTLF) has been
engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration, and if
warranted, development of natural resource properties since inception.

The company is currently focusing on the following projects:

The Lone Pine Property consists of 7 mineral claims covering 1051
hectares, which are approximately 15 kilometers north-northwest of
Houston, BC, and are situated in the Omineca Mining Division. Exploration
or mining activities have been conducted on and around the area of the
Lone Pine Claims since early in the last century, with a considerable
amount of geological, geophysical, and geochemical work having been done
on the Property since 1976. The Company is extremely pleased with the
initial results on the first phase of drilling.

In the report the analyst states, "It is notable and meaningful that in
just two years after acquiring these mining assets, this management team
has turned around a rather unknown property into a very attractive asset."

The analyst continues, "Bard Ventures' Lone Pine property has reported an
extensive and consistent molybdenum mineralization of 0.1%, up to 0.3%,
with the company hoping to extract hundreds of millions of tons of
Molybdenum ore."
