10 December 2012 AIM Code: BGL, ASX Code: BAB

Completion of Acquisition of Mining Lease

On 26 November 2012 Bullabulling Gold Limited ("The Company") advised that it had entered into an agreement to acquire mining lease M 15/552 from Resolute Mining Limited ("Resolute"), with such acquisition subject to the completion of due diligence by the Company.

The Company advises that it has completed satisfactory due diligence, and has issued 13.5 million fully paid ordinary shares to Resolute in satisfaction of the acquisition.

M15/552 is situated immediately west of the Bullabulling gold deposit and is surrounded on three sides by Bullabulling Gold's existing tenements. Acquisition of M15/552 rationalises tenement ownership and removes a potential restriction to optimal open pit development at Bullabulling. Greater flexibility for the placement of waste rock dumps, haulage roads and other infrastructure is also provided, which may lead to improved project economics, particularly where haulage distances can be reduced.

In addition, the Company now has greater access to potential down dip extensions of the Bullabulling deposit and has the ability to test for extensions to the higher grade Edwards and Gryphon prospects, located to the south of the main ore zones.

Following completion of the transaction, Resolute hold 4.5% of Bullabulling Gold's expanded equity of 302,533,871 Ordinary Shares.
