VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2011) - Sphere Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SPH.H) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, in conjunction with Duncan Park Holdings Corporation has hired Abitibi Geophysics based in Val-d'Or, Quebec ("Abitibi") to perform a high resolution induced polarization ("IP") survey using their state of the art "IPower 3D" technology and a detailed ground magnetic survey on 100% of the expanded Dome property in Red Lake, Ontario. The IP survey is designed to provide a 3-dimensional resolution for narrow feature detection with the capability to penetrate depths of ~500 metres. The data from this highly sophisticated IP survey will then be integrated with historic information from the area using the latest state of the art 3D exploration earth modelling to determine high priority drill targets.


The 3D exploration approach will incorporate all historic data, and new innovative deeper technologies to assist the geological team to target to depths that have remained untested in a very favourable known and historic district.


Abitibi is scheduled to commence the IP survey on the Dome property this week with the survey taking approximately 30 days to complete. Once the company receives the results of the survey and the targeted areas it will plan a drilling program.


The Dome property lies about 3 km southwest of Goldcorp's Red Lake mine and about 1 to 2 km north and east of the historic Howey, and the Red Lake Gold Shore mines. The past producer Cochenour Willans and Goldcorp's new Bruce Channel gold zone are 5 km north. Much of the Dome Property overlies the Howey Diorite, a quartz diorite intrusion associated with several past producing gold mines (e.g. Howey Mine and Hasaga Mine) and several gold occurrences.


Historic drilling on the McManus Patents dating back to 1936 had assays ranging from nil to assayed results of high grade ore of 1oz/ton gold over 0.6m, 1oz/ton over 0.3m and 0.55oz/ton over 0.6m. The Dome property consists of 19 McManus freehold mining patents and 17 mining claims totalling an equivalent of 58 mining units totalling approximately 835 hectares in the core of the Red Lake gold camp.
