(TSXV: BGD) ("Bullion Gold" or "The Company") is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of Momentum PR ("Momentum"), a firm specializing in promotion and investor relations. Momentum has a long history of representing several exploration companies through its extensive network and experience in the financial markets. The agreement with Momentum has a term of 6 months from the date of approval by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and may be terminated at any time without charge by either party upon 30 days' notice. Momentum will receive a monthly fee of $8,000 and will be granted stock options to acquire up to 600,000 common shares at a price of $0.055 per share for a term of three years in accordance with the Company's stock option plan and the policies of the TSXV.
Bodo Project
The Company will begin this week its first phase of exploration on its Bodo project, in the area of the Rivon, Canicos and Papas showings. The Bodo property, consisting of 722 claims (39,000 Ha), is 100% owned by the Company.
Rivon Showing
The Rivon Showing is located in the northeastern part of a broad corridor approximately 3.2 km thick comprising a package of massive and laminated volcanic rocks. The amphibolites represent metamorphic equivalents of basic volcanics. This greenstone assemblage is surrounded by a complex of gneiss and granite.
East of Holton Lake, a greenstone belt is up to four miles wide and extends westward for a total distance of approximately 80 km.
A few kilometres north of this belt, three narrow discontinuous bands of greenstone are interpreted as the remnants of a single, broader belt. At Holton Lake and a few kilometres south of it are rocks of the Mistassini Group.
The presence of copper, zinc, gold, silver and molybdenum is regularly noted in the various exploration works carried out in previous years in these different geological environments.
Mineralization
Seven mineralized outcrops were discovered by Merrill Island Mining in 1963 on the Rivon showing. Three of these were visited by Gilles Duquette, Chibougamau Resident Geologist in 1964 (GM14279). The following description is derived from his report.
"The No. 3 copper showing was stripped and dug in 8 places and copper mineralization was exposed in an amphibolite over a length of over 210 metres. Although these trenches do not line up perfectly, they are confined to a 35-metre-wide band. The mineralization consists largely of quartz and chalcopyrite and pyrite with local concentrations of magnetite. Mineralization on the No. 4 showing consists mainly of lenses of quartz with chalcopyrite, gold, silver and molybdenum. The blasting and stripping done at the time exposed an area approximately 40 metres long and 8 metres wide (Graph 4)," underlines the resident geologist at the time.

Two series of short holes (Series A and Series B) undertaken by Merrill Island Mining in 1963 on the Rivon showing demonstrated the significant presence of copper, gold and silver in the majority of the holes. The holes of Series A drilled in a low intensity magnetic anomaly and located approximately 500 meters to the west of Series B cannot in any case have reached the polymetallic horizon of Group B, which is associated with a high intensity magnetic anomaly. The anomalous presence of copper, gold and silver is noted in both zones over thicknesses varying from 5 to 12 meters. This suggests that there could be several parallel mineralized zones in this sector of the Rivon showing. The two series of holes were drilled from north to south over a distance of approximately 450 meters for Horizon A and 1.3 km for Horizon B. Both horizons remain open in all directions.
Financing
The Company also announces a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $200,000 through the issuance of up to 5,000,000 common share units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of $0.04 per Unit (the "Private Placement").
