Bullion River Gold Corp. Commences Underground Diamond Drilling at its French Gulch Mine.

RENO, Nev. -- Bullion River Gold Corp. (OTCBB:BLRV)(FWB:BVM) has started its underground diamond drill program at its French Gulch mine in Shasta County, CA. The company plans a 24,500 ft underground drill program, which is expected to delineate high grade ore around and below the previously mined Lucky Seven and Washington ore shoots. Besides the extensions of these two vein systems, the program will determine the mineability of newly found veins. Additionally, the company continues its surface step out drill program of about 15,000 ft.

Around the Lucky Seven and the Washington vein systems, Bullion River has identified an "Inferred Resource" according to Canadian NI 43-101 Standards of 126,500 ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.1 ounces/ton. Goal of this underground drill program is it to bring this "Resource" into the "Reserve" category. SRK has been contracted to work closely with Bullion River to ensure highest Quality Assurance/Quality Control during both drill campaigns and to eventually conduct a reserve calculation, again according to Canadian NI 43-101 Standards.

Peter M. Kuhn, President of Bullion River, states: "We are very confident that the underground drill program will confirm our expectations for the extensions of the Lucky Seven and the Washington veins. Actually, our hopes are focused on bringing additional systems into the production picture as well, which should increase the mineable mineralization substantially. All our previous work is very encouraging, with numerous multiple ounce samples out of this high grade area." He added: "We are well underway to start production this summer!"
