Further High Grade Assays Returned from Edwards & Gryphon

   --    Mineralisation extended down-dip at Gryphon, including: 

- Hole BJ4927, 12m at 2.36 g/t gold

- Hole BJ4576, 6m at 11.74 g/t gold, including 2m at 29.08 g/t gold

   --    Further mineralisation intersected at Edwards, including: 

- Hole BJ4622, 5m at 2.68 g/t gold

- Hole BJ4631, 3m at 5.53 g/t and 4m at 11.42 g/t gold

-- Potential for amalgamation of the two prospects confirmed by strong results from the separating corridor, including:

- Hole BJ4588, 6m at 3.52 g/t gold, including 1m at 12.30 g/t gold (revised)

- Hole BJ4931, 12m at 5.35 g/t gold, including 3m at 13.47 g/t gold

-- Results expected to support a resource expansion at Edwards and Gryphon to deliver additional high grade mill feed early in the proposed mine life

   --    Mineralisation remains open providing scope for further extension drilling 

Bullabulling Gold Limited is pleased to report that drilling at the Gryphon and Edwards prospects has been completed and assay results have been received for a further 16 holes, including a number of additional high grade intercepts.

Notable results from the latest batch of assays included 6 metres at 11.74 g/t, including 2 metres at 29.08 g/t, in hole BJ4576 and 12 metres at 2.36 g/t in hole BJ4927 at Gryphon. These holes extend the strongly mineralised core of the Gryphon prospect further down-dip and confirm that mineralisation remains open at depth.

Encouraging results were also returned from several drill holes at Edwards. Hole BJ4631 designed to drill through the main Edwards lode at shallow depths before testing for deeper mineralisation in the footwall ultramafic returned 3 metres at 5.53 g/t from the main lode position followed by 4 metres grading 11.42 g/t from within the footwall ultramafic. This intercept establishes the ultramafic as a significant target for future drilling. Hole BJ4622, testing down-dip, intersected 5 metres at 2.68 g/t, confirming mineralisation at Edwards also remains open at depth.

The potential amalgamation of the proposed Edwards and Gryphon pits was strongly supported by hole BJ4931, which returned 12 metres at 5.35 g/t, including 3 metres at 13.47 g/t, from within the corridor between the two prospects. However some recent holes, particularly on the up-dip margin of the corridor, failed to intersect significant grade mineralisation where there appears to have been some localised replacement by pegmatite.

The completed program comprised 5,421 metres in 37 reverse circulation holes covering 1.3 kilometres of strike on the southern portion of Bullabulling Trend. Assays for five holes remain outstanding.

Upon receipt of final assays, the resource model for the Edwards-Gryphon portion of the Bullabulling Trend will be updated for use in the mining optimisation program being undertaken in the first phase of the definitive feasibility study. Drilling results to date indicate that there is high potential for expanding the mining inventory at Edwards and Gryphon, which currently has a grade approximately 30% above the project average, thereby providing additional higher grade mill feed in the early years of the proposed mining operation. Furthermore, drilling suggests continuity of mineralisation between Edwards and Gryphon that may enable development of a single open pit which management expect would improve mining efficiency and reduce costs.

Collar locations for holes completed at Edwards and Gryphon are shown in Figure 1. Drill hole details and significant intercepts from the latest batch of results are presented in Table 1.

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.
