Bullion River Gold Corp. Commences Drilling Program at its Thomas Creek Project, Nevada.Business Editors RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2004 Bullion River Gold Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :BLRV) began a 7-hole, 7000-foot drilling program at its Thomas Creek project in Eureka County, Nevada Eureka County is a county located in the U.S. state of Nevada. As of the 2000 census, the population is 1,651. Its county seat is Eureka6. History Eureka County was created out of eastern Lander County in 1873 after silver was discovered more than 100 miles , on April 23, 2004, after receiving the necessary permits from the Bureau of Land Management. The Thomas Creek project is in northeastern Nevada, 56 km southwest of Elko and 23 km southwest of the Rain gold mine operated by Newmont Mining Corp. Thomas Creek offers an opportunity to discover high-grade epithermal gold-silver vein mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. along a relatively large strike length. The project contains a north-trending, high-level epithermal vein system traceable for 3.7 km along a range-front fault. North-trending dikes parallel the veining about 700m to the east. The dikes and vein system are along the southern strike extension of the Post fault and the swarm of Late Eocene dikes that are genetically linked to the large Carlin-type gold deposits of the northern Carlin car·line or car·lin n.

Rock-chip samples of banded to massive chalcedony chalcedony (kălsĕd`ənē) [from Chalcedon], form of quartz the crystals of which are so minute that its crystalline structure cannot be seen except with the aid of a microscope. with bladed silica-after-calcite and local pyritic zones have yielded gold values to 130 ppb Au with strongly-elevated Hg and other trace elements. The geochemistry and mineralogy are indicative of the high levels of an epithermal system above the boiling zone, where high-grade gold-silver mineralization may occur. Exposures of the veining occur at the edge of post-mineralization valley alluvium al·lu·vi·um n. pl. al·lu·vi·ums or al·lu·vi·a Sediment deposited by flowing water, as in a riverbed, flood plain, or delta. Also called alluvion. (pediment pediment, in architecture, the triangular gable end on a building of classic type or a similar form used decoratively. It consists of the tympanum, or triangular wall surface, enclosed below by the horizontal cornice and above by the raking cornice, which follows the cover), dip west under the alluvial cover and reach widths of at least 30m. The drilling program is designed to test the vein system down-dip and west under cover.
