- Metallurgical testing of two representative ore samples from the transition and primary zone return gold recoveries in excess of 95% following cyanide leaching.
Bulletin’s Managing Director, Marty Phillips, said: “The positive results from the preliminary metallurgical test work were particularly reassuring given the elevated sulphide mineral content of the high grade lodes”.

Bulletin Resources Limited ASX Announcement
Bulletin Resources Limited (ASX: BNR) (“Bulletin”) is pleased to provide the following update on activities at its 100% owned Nicolson’s Gold Project located near Halls Creek in northern WA.
Drilling Results
Assay results have now been received for an additional five holes drilled at Nicolson’s. At Nicolson’s Find, high grade intersections continue be encountered within the main lode and also down-plunge of the recently discovered footwall lode. The results are summarised in Table 1 and presented in Figures 1 - 3. Best results include:
NRC11032: 1.0m at 11.1 g/t Au from 194m NRC11056: 1.0m at 10.2 g/t from 156m 5.0m at 8.6 g/t Au from 229m NRC11066: 6.0m at 6.3 g/t Au from 173m including 2.0m at 15.4 g/t Au
Metallurgical testing
Two representative ore samples from the transition and primary zones were submitted for cyanide leach test work. The one kilogram samples, with calculated head grades of 5.9g/t Au for the transition zone and 9.5g/t Au for the primary zone, were crushed to 80% passing 106μm. Both samples returned gold recoveries in excess of 95% after a bottle roll cyanide leach.

Notes:
1Drilling and assay results in Table 1 are down-hole intervals compiled using a 1.0 g/t Au lower cut with no internal dilution unless noted. No upper cut value has been applied to the assay results.
2True intersection widths are estimated to be 60 to 80 % of down-hole intersection widths. All holes are drilled with a dip of
-60[o] and azimuth of 270[o] to grid unless otherwise indicated. Hole NRC11015 is an extension of a historical hole.
3Drill samples were analysed using a 40 gram fire assay with AAS finish.
4Zones are mineralised zones. They are denoted as Hanging Wall (HW), Main (Main) and Footwall (FW) for the Nicolson’s Find and Nicolson’s South deposits.

The project is estimated to host an Indicated Resource of 787,900 tonnes at 5.05g/t Au for approximately 127,800 ounces of gold and an Inferred Resource of 234,200 tonnes at 5.54g/t Au for approximately 41,700 ounces of gold. Also located on the project is a 120,000 tpa processing facility currently under care and maintenance. The principal objective of the company is to advance the project to the stage of decision to mine.
