Positive Initial Results from Edwards and Gryphon Drilling

   --   Potential for expansion of the resource and mining inventory confirmed 
   --   Additional high grade mineralisation intersected down dip 

- Best result to date 16 metres at 3.78 g/t gold from 87 metres down hole

- Including 2 metres at 17.6 g/t gold

   --    Strong intersection in previously untested area between Edwards and Gryphon 

- 9 metres at 0.99 g/t gold from 69 metres down hole

- Result supports potential amalgamation of the two proposed pits

   --   Drilling is continuing with additional assays available later in the month 

Bullabulling Gold Limited (the "Company") is pleased to report that initial assays have been received from reverse circulation ("RC") drilling at the Edwards and Gryphon prospects and are considered by the Company to be very positive.

As previously announced, the current drilling program has been designed to test for down dip extensions to existing high grade mineralisation and to determine whether there is sufficient continuity between the two prospects to enable the development of a single larger pit. Assays have now been received for the first 10 holes in the program, and the results support the potential achievement of both objectives.

Nine out of ten holes for which assays have been received produced intercepts above the 0.5 g/t resource cut-off grade. Significant intercepts, all of which are between just 50 and 100 metres below surface, include:

   --    Hole BJ4559           5 metres at 2.46 g/t 
   --    Hole BJ4571           16 metres at 3.78 g/t including 2 metres at 17.60 g/t 
   --    Hole BJ4572           11 metres at 1.35 g/t 
   --    Hole BJ4614           10 metres at 1.29 g/t 

Hole number BJ4671 intersected 16 metres grading 3.78 g/t gold at the down dip margin of the proposed Gryphon pit. This result is substantially higher in grade than the nearest existing holes and is supported by hole BJ4672 which intersected 11 metres at 1.35 g/t approximately 70 metres further down dip, as shown on the cross-section in Figure 1. These holes are expected to extend and increase the grade of the resource at this location and potentially support a significant expansion of the Gryphon pit, increasing the mining inventory and supplying additional high grade feed early in the life of the proposed Bullabulling Gold Mine.

Hole number BJ4602 intersected 9 metres at 0.99 g/t near the midpoint between the two proposed pits, in an area that was previously untested. Additional ore grade intercepts within this corridor would support the amalgamation of the proposed Edwards and Gryphon pits into a single large pit exceeding a kilometre in length. This would further increase the mining inventory and improve the efficiency of the mine design by eliminating the need for two haulage ramps, thereby potentially reducing the strip ratio and facilitating mining to greater depth.

Drill hole collar locations are shown in Figure 2 and all significant intercepts to date from the current program are presented in Table 1.

Drilling is continuing and additional assay results are expected to be available later this month. So far all mineralised lenses drilled remain open at depth.

Note: Edwards and Gryphon are located in the southern portion of the Bullabulling trend. The recently completed Bullabulling prefeasibility study incorporated two small open pits at Edwards and Gryphon with a combined mining inventory of 2.2 million tonnes grading 1.14g/t gold, some 30% above the average grade for the project.

About Bullabulling Gold Limited

Bullabulling Gold Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:BAB) and London's AIM Market (AIM:BGL) and has approximately 302.5 million shares on issue. The Company's primary asset is the wholly owned Bullabulling Gold Project, located near Coolgardie in Western Australia.

The Bullabulling Gold Project hosts JORC compliant Mineral Resources of 3.5 million ounces comprising Indicated Resources of 71.7 million tonnes at 0.96 g/t gold (2.2 million ounces) and Inferred Resources of 32.8 million tonnes at 1.06 g/t gold (1.1 million ounces) at Bullabulling and Inferred Resources of 4.8 million tonnes at 1.15 g/t gold (0.2 million ounces) at Gibraltar. Exploration has demonstrated strong potential for further expansion of the resource base.

The Bullabulling deposit is amenable to bulk tonnage open pit mining and conventional CIL processing has delivered high gold recoveries. The deposit is situated on granted Mining Leases in close proximity to infrastructure.

The Company has recently completed a pre-feasibility study into the development of a large scale, low cost mining operation at Bullabulling and is now moving into definitive feasibility study. First production is targeted for Q4 2015.
