Bullabulling Gold Project

During the quarter, engineering and evaluation studies continued in support of the definitive feasibility study (DFS) into the establishment of a 7.5 million tonne per annum open pit mining operation at Bullabulling.

Mine production at Bullabulling is forecast to total 94.7 million tonnes at 0.84g/t for 2,562,000 ounces of contained gold. Gold production is forecast to average 175,000 ounces per annum over a projected mine life of approximately 13 years(1) .

Metallurgical Test-work

During the quarter preliminary metallurgical test-work was undertaken to determine if nanofiltration of process water would reduce consumption of lime and cyanide during gold ore processing at Bullabulling (see release 12 March 2014). Estimated expenditure on lime and cyanide in the Bullabulling prefeasibility study exceeded $30 million per annum(2) , or $170 per ounce(3) , providing scope for a significant reduction in costs if consumption can be reduced.

At Bullabulling, in common with most CIL gold plants, it is proposed to add quicklime to the circuit to adjust pH levels to achieve appropriate conditions for gold leaching by cyanide. However magnesium present in the raw process water consumes lime before it addresses pH. The initial test-work results indicated that nanofiltration of raw water extracted from the existing bore field at Bullabulling reduced magnesium levels by an average of 93%.

Comparative leach tests were then carried out on primary and oxidised Bullabulling mineralised samples using raw bore water and nanofiltered water. Average consumption of lime during leach tests carried out in filtered water was 64% lower than in raw bore water, with cyanide consumption 26% lower. It is anticipated that upgrading water quality through nanofiltration is likely to be positive for gold recovery during full scale operations as it would enable higher pH levels to be run which would assist in achieving and maintaining optimum leach conditions.

It should be noted that the preliminary nanofiltration results were based on a limited number of tests and there is no certainty that forecast reagent consumption during operations will be reduced to the extent indicated. To validate initial results, a more comprehensive metallurgical program was implemented involving more extensive, synergistic evaluation of:

   --    Nanofiltration 
   --    Pre-leach gravity concentration 
   --    Leach residence time 
   --    Optimum leach circuit cyanide concentration and pH levels 

Bulk water samples from five separate bores within the Bullabulling bore field (to ensure sample representivity) were nanofiltered at Eco Technol Pty Ltd in Perth, producing results that were consistent with the previous work. The filtered water has been stored for use in subsequent stages of the metallurgical program.

A bulk mineralised sample was prepared using diamond drill core from ten holes drilled at Bullabulling in 2011/12. The ten holes intersected mineralised lenses that comprise approximately 90% of the Bullabulling resource and the bulk sample was considered to be representative of primary ore to be processed over the life of mine at Bullabulling. The bulk sample was delivered to Bureau Veritas Minerals Pty Ltd who have been commissioned to conduct the gravity and leaching test-work and assess reagent consumption.

Gravity concentration was assessed by conducting five leach tests on whole ore at various grind sizes and residence times, with and without oxygen injection in parallel with five equivalent tests carried out following extraction of gravity recoverable gold. Evaluation of the results supported the prefeasibility study assessment that a gravity circuit was not required to achieve financially optimal gold recovery.

Prior to commencing leach tests, the grade of the bulk sample was checked with five assays returning values ranging from 0.73g/t to 1.08g/t and averaging 0.92g/t, within 10% of the projected life of mine average head grade. However calculated head grades from the ten leach tests ranged from 1.11g/t to 1.53g/t and averaged 1.34g/t, 60% above forecast mine head grade.

The reason for the grade significantly exceeding expectations is unclear and will be further investigated. However advice from the Company's metallurgical consultant is that conclusions drawn from the gravity test-work remain valid despite the grade of the mineral sample varying from the forecast mine head grade.

Sulphur levels recorded during the comparative leach tests were also above average at 0.8%, compared to typical levels of 0.2% to 0.6%. Sulphide levels are generally low at Bullabulling, however the observance of sulphides is often an indicator of higher grade gold, so the combination of high gold grades and higher sulphur levels is not surprising.

If a close association of gold with sulphides can be confirmed, there may be opportunity to implement flotation at a coarse grind size and subject the resulting concentrate to a fine grind and intensive leach. Being able to implement a coarse grind at Bullabulling would significantly reduce energy consumption, the largest component of processing costs. Fine grinding followed by intensive cyanidation of a low volume concentrate has potential to improve gold recovery.

Flotation of Bullabulling ore has not previously been evaluated as sulphide levels are lower than typically seen in flotation plants. However recent examples have been cited of other gold operations where ore of similar sulphur content has been successfully treated by flotation.

In order to assess the performance of flotation on Bullabulling mineralisation, the current metallurgical test-work program has been expanded, with Bureau Veritas directed to conduct a series of flotation tests. This work commenced post quarter end. Some further mineralogical studies will also be carried out to improve understanding of the gold/sulphide relationship and assess the prevalence of gold encapsulation by sulphides to determine whether this may impair gold recovery.

Other elements of the current metallurgical program were put on hold while the flotation work is carried out. A new bulk sample will be prepared for the next phase of leach test-work. The DFS program has been extended to accommodate this work, with completion now expected in the first quarter of 2015.

Diamond Drilling Program

Near quarter end a diamond drilling program commenced at Bullabulling to provide HQ and PQ diameter core samples for final metallurgical and geotechnical testing required for the project to achieve definitive feasibility study (DFS) standards. The program will comprise approximately 1,300 metres of drilling.

The final phase of metallurgical test-work will evaluate variability across the mine area to confirm that key processing parameters adopted in the DFS are representative of the whole deposit.

The geotechnical test-work will complement existing data that was derived from the testing of earlier diamond drill core and structural mapping of the historic open pits. The results of this work will enable confirmation, and where necessary refinement, of the slope angles used in the preliminary open pit designs.

The cost of the diamond drilling program is expected to come in comfortably under budget, with the rates tendered by drilling contractors reflecting the current competitive nature of the mining services sector in Western Australia.

In addition, the Company has accepted a proposal from the selected drilling contractor to receive 50% of the payment for the diamond drilling program in Bullabulling shares. Subject to shareholder approval, the shares will be issued after completion of the program and will be escrowed for three months from the date of their issue. The shares will be priced at the volume weighted average price over the period in which drilling takes place, with no discount applied. This form of payment assists in preserving the Company's cash resources. Shareholder approval to issue the shares will be sought at the annual general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for 27 May 2014.

Gibraltar

During the quarter a preliminary mining study was completed for the Company's Gibraltar Project, located approximately six kilometres south-east of the Bullabulling Gold Project.

The preliminary mining study was completed to assist in determining whether the Gibraltar deposit could be developed to provide supplementary mill feed for the proposed Bullabulling Gold Project. Using parameters derived from the Bullabulling feasibility study, a series of Whittle optimisations were run, providing the basis of an open pit design for Gibraltar. The resulting mine plan captured 1.94 million tonnes of Inferred Resource grading 1.15g/t containing 71,700 ounces of in situ gold (see release of 7 March 2014).

The mining study has confirmed the potential to develop Gibraltar as a satellite mine to supply additional mill feed to the proposed Bullabulling Gold Project. However Gibraltar does not form part of the current development plan and near term priority will continue to be placed on progression of the Bullabulling DFS.

Corporate

Unsolicited Takeover Offer

On 17 April 2014, Bullabulling Gold Limited received notice of an unsolicited takeover offer from Norton Gold Fields Limited ("Norton") to acquire all of the shares in Bullabulling. Norton is offering 7 (seven) cents cash for every Bullabulling share ("the Offer")

The Directors consider the Offer does not adequately reflect the value of the Bullabulling Gold Project and is opportunistically timed to suit Norton's best interests and not the interests of Bullabulling shareholders.

Bullabulling is currently preparing its Target's Statement in response to the Offer and until you receive the Target's Statement your Directors recommend that you REJECT THE OFFER BY TAKING NO ACTION in relation to your Bullabulling shares.

Bullabulling has appointed Gresham Advisory Partners as corporate advisors and Herbert Smith Freehills as legal advisors to assist the Company to prepare its formal response to the Offer.

The Directors' focus is on maximising shareholder value and this Offer, or any other offers or proposals, will be considered in that context.

Cash Position

The Company held cash and deposits of $3.0 million at quarter end.

Director Fees

On 31 May 2013 the Company advised that in order to aid cash preservation, the Non-Executive Directors of the Company would accept the issue of shares in satisfaction of 50% of their Directors fees, subject to shareholder approval.

The number of shares to be issued is to be calculated on a calendar quarterly basis, with the issue price being the five day volume weighted average price (VWAP) at the end of the relevant quarter.

For the March quarter 2014 it is proposed to issue 428,241 Bullabulling Gold Limited ordinary shares at a price of 5.4 cents in place of Directors fees totaling $23,125.

Shareholder approval to issue the shares will be sought at the annual general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for 27 May 2014. Should shareholders not approve the issue of the shares, the outstanding directors fees will be paid in cash.
