Bullion River Gold Corp. Starts Feasibility Study for its French Gulch Mine.

RENO, Nev. -- Bullion River Gold Corp. (OTCBB:BLRV)(FWB:BVM) has started its Feasibility Study for its French Gulch mine. While drilling continues from surface and underground, Bullion River has started with an environmental Phase 1 study by the independent consulting firm Enviroscientists, Inc. Furthermore, metallurgical studies and milling engineering have been commenced by SRK Engineering. Capital costs and operational costs have been calculated internally and will be adjusted and audited, once drilling results have been analyzed and independently audited.

Bullion River's President Peter M. Kuhn states: "Since the mine is fully permitted for production and the nature of the existing high grade vein systems is very consistent, we are taking a calculated risk in starting these parts of our Feasibility Study at this time in order to be in a position to make our final production decision as early as April 2005. Our work so far has constantly increased our confidence level in the unique opportunities presented by this mine. The very high grade nature of the vein systems with an average grade of over one ounce per ton will of course facilitate the economics of the study. The challenge right now is to add tons to the grades." He continues: "The relatively short distance of only about 900 ft to the first stope of the Lucky Seven vein and the existing milling facilities should require only a three to four months construction and preproduction development phase. This should lead to production this summer."

The French Gulch (formerly Washington Niagara) mine produced last in 2002 on a small scale and the extent of its multiple high grade vein systems has never been explored. Bullion River has started a significant step out drill program based on its own surface reconnaissance work, as well as definition drilling from underground in order to delineate ore.
