Mr. Frank Basa reports
GOLD BULLION DEVELOPMENT CORP. PROVIDES UPDATE
Gold Bullion Development Corp., as part of its continuing program to produce a
preliminary feasibility study (PFS), has engaged several
independent consultants. SGS Mineral Services Lakefield in Canada and
Gekko Systems based in Australia will conduct metallurgical testwork
for process plant flowsheet optimization. Roche Ltee. Groupe-conseil
has also been retained and will be responsible for all aspects of
environmental and permitting work, while C.C. Consultants will be
advising on matters pertaining to social responsibility and local
community communications. SGS Geostat's role is to oversee management
of the entire project.
The company's preliminary economic assessment (PEA), full document
issued Feb. 4, 2013, indicated that the proposed mine was cash flow positive for both
the open-pit and underground scenarios independent of one another.
The PEA has served as the starting point for the determination of
extraction process optimization with the goals of reducing cash cost
per ounce and related capital expenditures. Also in this first PEA, as
part of this optimization process, the company included scenarios that
increased the grade of the open-pit resource from one gram per tonne gold to two g/t Au.
Going forward, the company will conduct a thorough review to evaluate
whether the increase in grade will in fact lower cash costs per ounce
as well as associated capital expenditures.
Claude Duplessis, PEng, is acting as the qualified person (QP) for
Gold Bullion Development in compliance with National Instrument
43-101 and has reviewed the technical contents of this press release.
