Bullion River Gold Corp. Moves Ahead on its French Gulch Mine and its North Fork Mine.

RENO, Nev. -- Bullion River Gold Corp. (OTCBB:BLRV)(FRANKFURT:BVM) has completed the first part of its underground preparation work to accommodate its diamond drill program at its French Gulch mine in Shasta County, CA. The company's contractor, Widman Contractors Inc., has rehabilitated 1,200 ft of rail in the access tunnel and is starting the excavation of a new diamond drill station between the two known and previously mined major ore shoots. The company plans a 24,500 ft underground drill program, which is expected to start as soon as the drill chamber is excavated. Additionally, the company plans a surface drill program of about 15,000 ft, which will begin as soon as feasible.

At the North Fork mine, the company's own crew is in the process of setting up the site with office, dry and shop. The cleanup and scrap removal as well as the removal of parts of an old steel head frame have successfully been completed. The site is being connected with power, muck dumps, material lay down areas and water tanks are being set up. After rehabilitation of the underground access, Bullion River plans to start an underground drill program of about 10,000 ft.

Peter M. Kuhn, President of Bullion River states: "We are very pleased with our progress on both mines, the French Gulch and the North Fork. While we are moving along in the field we are conducting engineering and preparation for production at the French Gulch. Obviously, our confidence level to bring the French Gulch into production within 2005 is very high. The North Fork will require some more development but, we are confident, that this will be the second mine which Bullion River will bring into production on route to its' goal of becoming a significant American gold producer!"
