Vancouver, BC - Channel Resources Ltd. ("Channel" or the "Company", TSX.V:CHU) announces that it has extended the permit boundaries for the Fox Creek Lithium Brine Project ("Fox Creek") announced on February 24, 2009, to encompass a larger area of reported high lithium concentrations in underlying brine aquifers.

The main target of the original Fox Creek permit has been the Beaverhill Lake aquifer as it is believed to contain some of the highest concentrations of lithium and the most favorable porosity and permeability characteristics in the region, based on data from the over 100 oil and gas wells that have penetrated the aquifer. The expansion of the project by 92 square kilometers to the southeast gives the Company access to that portion of the adjacent Leduc aquifer with a localized target of high lithium distribution as reported in the Alberta Research Council's study(1), which has been the basis of the Company's interest in the project. An assessment of the brine composition also indicates potential for the development of other commercial products with the lithium, including potash.

The new permit area is incorporated into the Fox Creek project under the same terms as announced previously, pursuant to which Channel has the right to earn 100% ownership interest. Channel believes that, with the acquisition of this new permit, it now controls the mineral rights over 369 square kilometers of the most prospective targets for lithium mineralization in Alberta.

The Company has commissioned Apex Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta to compile a NI43-101 Technical Report on the project and expects this to be filed in the next month.

The above information has been prepared under the supervision of Colin H. McAleenan, P.Geo, who is the Company's "Qualified Person" under the definition of NI 43-101.
