Bulletin Resources Limited ASX Announcement
1. DRILLING PROGRESS
Bulletin Resources Limited (ASX: BNR) (“Bulletin”) is pleased to announce further results from the current 11,500 metre RC drilling program at the Company’s wholly owned Nicolson’s Gold Project near Halls Creek in Western Australia.
Assay results have now been received for an additional 14 holes designed to:
-
provide further information on a lightly drilled hanging wall lode located to the immediate north of the former Nicolson’s open pit;
-
continue the evaluation of the main high grade, north plunging lode extending below the open pit; and
-
test the potential for additional shallow mineralisation north of the open pit.
Hole NRC11055 successfully confirmed the presence of high grade gold mineralisation over a 3 metre downhole width within an interpreted hanging wall lode to the north of the open pit. A cross section of this intersection is presented in Figure 1 and a summary of all hanging wall intersections greater than 1g/t Au is presented in Table 1.
Further drilling will be planned to assess the potential of the hanging wall lode for additional high grade mineralisation.
Continued positive results have also been returned from drilling targeting the high grade Nicolson’s main lode beneath the former open pit, including one outstanding result of 7.0m at 22.8 g/t Au (including 4.0m at 38.8 g/t Au) in hole NRC11041 (refer to Figures 2 and 3). A summary of the other main lode intersections greater than 1g/t Au is presented in Table 1.
A series of 9 shallow RC holes were also completed in the lightly drilled area to the immediate north of the open pit to assess the potential for additional open pitable mineralisation. Narrow widths of mineralisation were encountered in two of these holes (refer to Table 1).
2. CORPORATE UPDATE
The Company also wishes to announce the appointment of Mr Mick Fitzgerald, formerly Underground Manager at Apex Minerals’ Wiluna Gold Operation and Non-executive Director of Bulletin, to the position of Executive Director of Operations. Mick will be responsible for the day to day management of the Nicolson’s Project.
Mick brings 38 years of hands-on involvement in the mining industry. He was previously the owner of mining contracting company Alliance Mining Pty Ltd, and has accumulated many years’ experience working for Barminco Limited and Barrick Gold Corporation. Mick is a qualified diesel mechanic and holds a WA Shift Supervisors Certificate and a Queensland Senior Site Executive Certificate.

Bulletin’s Managing Director, Marty Phillips said: “The latest results are particularly encouraging as they indicate to us that there is a potential repetition to the high grade mineralisation north of Nicolson’s Find.”
“With drilling now underway at Nicolson’s South, we are confident of defining further high grade lodes and expanding Bulletin’s resource base beyond the current estimate.”
“I also welcome Mick Fitzgerald who will be an integral part of the project’s development team. Mick’s experience, especially in narrow vein underground mining, will greatly assist us in developing an appropriate mining strategy to progress the Nicolson’s Project towards production”.

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. 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 at a declination of -60[o] and azimuth of 270[o] to grid unless otherwise indicated. 3Drill samples were analysed using a 40 gram fire assay with AAS finish. 4Zones are mineralised zones denoted as Hanging Wall (HW); Main (Main) and Footwall (FW).
5Holes with “-“returned no significant Au values. All these holes targeted potential mineralisation at shallow (< 50m) depths.
