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.

PROCESSING FACILITY RESTART

As part of a detailed condition check of the 120,000 tpa processing facility, Bulletin has successively re-energised and mechanically tested the power station, crushing circuit, conveyors, ball mill and leaching circuits. Testing began on 25 June with the aim of determining the electrical and mechanical condition of all equipment. This outcome will form part of the scope and cost for refurbishing and returning the processing facility back to full operation.

DRILLING RESULTS

Assay results have now been received for an additional 7 holes drilled at Nicolson’s Find and from the first 14 holes at Nicolson’s South. The results are summarised in Table 1 (see below).

At Nicolson’s Find, high grade intersections continue be encountered within the footwall lode, including from re-entries of several holes that were terminated prematurely by the former owners of the project. Significant results include:

1NRC11044 : 2.0m at 14.1 g/t Au from 137m

1NRC11048 : 2.0m at 6.9 g/t Au from 159m NRC11064 : 2.0m at 6.7 g/t Au from 282m

The first phase of drilling at Nicolson’s South was mainly aimed at assessing the up-plunge potential of the high grade lode mineralisation for mine planning purposes. While host structures were intersected in several holes, no significant gold results were returned. The highly weathered nature of the host rocks at Nicolson’s South suggests the possibility for supergene depletion within the shallower levels of the deposit.

More encouraging indications have been returned from the limited results received to date from holes targeting extensions to the Nicolson’s South lode at depth and include:

NRC11014 : 4.0m at 5.0 g/t Au from 129m; and

3.0m at 9.2 g/t Au from 135m

1 Holes NRC11044 and NRC11048 are extensions of historical holes.

ASX Announcement

Bulletin’s Managing Director, Marty Phillips said: “It was a surprisingly smooth restart of the facility after having been idle for nearly 8 years. While some refurbishment will be required we are very encouraged by its overall condition.”

“Drilling at Nicolson’s South is nearly complete and the drill rig will now advance further south to commence the assessment of our priority open pit targets at Rowdies and Wagtails.”

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. Holes NRC11044 and NRC11048 are extensions of historical holes.

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. 5Holes NRC11044 and NRC11048 are extensions of historical holes.
