Diamond Drilling Identifies New Mineralised Horizon at Bullabulling

   --   Two stratigraphic holes completed totalling 928 metres 

o 121 metres of RC pre-collars and 807metres of HQ diamond core

   --   New prospective ultramafic-amphibolite sequence identified below current deposit 

o Assays confirm anomalous gold within the sequence

   --   Further significant intersections from the existing deposit  on the Western Limb, including: 

o 7.6m at 2.14g/t Au from 60.4m

o 4m at 2.64g/t Au from 117m

o 3m at 1.17g/t Au from 164m

-- The drill data will assist calibration of the 3D geological model with positive implications for ongoing exploration at Bullabulling

Bullabulling Gold Limited advises that two deep diamond drill holes have been completed at the Bullabulling Gold Project, 60 kilometres west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. Gold assays have been received confirming discovery of a new mineralised horizon.

The two stratigraphic diamond holes were designed to validate the three dimensional (3D) geological model that has been developed from geophysical data acquired from the project area (see release 6 September 2012).

Hole BBDE001, drilled at a dip of 60 degrees towards the east, traversed the western limb of the Bullabulling fold before targeting a sub-horizontal seismic feature interpreted as a disharmonic fold structure at 450m to 500m below surface. The main zone of mineralisation in the western limb was encountered as expected from 60m to 190m down-hole. Results within this interval included 7.6m at 2.14g/t gold from 60.4m, 4m at 2.64g/t gold from 117m and 3m at 1.17g/t gold from 164m.

Of greater significance, a zone of pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralised felsic to mafic schist was identified from 455m to 503m, passing into a 15m thick ultramafic unit immediately above the contact with granite. This sequence is consistent with the geological setting of the existing Bullabulling deposit and importantly assays returned sporadic, but highly anomalous gold values of up to 0.38g/t between 472m and 489m. The seismic feature is now considered to represent the granite contact.

Hole BBDE002 was drilled at a dip of 60 degrees towards the west and targeted the eastern fold limb. The hole was terminated earlier than expected after penetrating a sub-horizontal felsic schist sequence before encountering granite at 212m.

The mafic and ultramafic sequence intersected at depth in BBDE001 may be the same sequence that hosts the Bullabulling deposit which has been tightly folded, perhaps by the intruding granite, explaining why BBDE002 did not intersect the interpreted geology. Alternatively BBDE001 may have intersected a separate footwall ultramafic unit that has not been intersected in prior drilling (see Figure 1). Either way, identification of another occurrence of the geological sequence that hosts the existing Bullabulling deposit, with associated gold mineralisation, is considered to be a significant discovery that warrants further evaluation.

The 3D geological model will be updated using the detailed geological and assay data from the diamond drill holes ahead of planning the next phase of exploration.

Collar details for the two stratigraphic holes are presented in Table 1, with significant +0.3g/t gold composited intercepts listed in Table 2. Intervals composited using +0.1g/t cut-off are listed in Table 3.
