DRILL HOLE GR-12-400 EXTENDS NEAR SURFACE MINERALIZED ZONE AN ADDITIONAL 175 METERS TO THE WEST OF THE CURRENT LONG BARS ZONE RESOURCES MODEL
Gold Bullion Development Corp.'s drill hole GR-12-400, the westernmost of the holes
available to date, has hit significant gold mineralization.
GR-12-400 returned 0.45 gram per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 85.5 metres from 30 metres to 115.5
metres, including 2.19 g/t Au over 4.5 metres near surface from 30 metres to
34.5 metres downhole. These results confirm the extension of gold
mineralization continuing 175 metres to the west of the current
resource model at the Granada gold property. The total extent of
confirmed mineralization now reaches 1,400 metres east-west by 950 metres
north-south. This is a significant confirmation of gold mineralization
extension in the context of the resource estimate, and suggests the
overall gold resource will be larger than the 641,100 ounces of gold
measured/indicated and 846,600 ounces of gold inferred as delineated in
the summary press release dated April 2, 2012.
The average grade of 0.45 g/t Au over 85.5 metres returned in hole
GR-12-400 is noteworthy when compared with the cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au
utilized in the most recent and current National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate.
The overall grade of this mineralization extension hole is likely high
enough for inclusion in the resource update expected to be released
prior to the end of 2012.
Other highlights include holes:
- GR-12-413 -- 0.55 g/t Au over 109.5 metres from 4.5 metres to 114 metres;
- GR-12-412 -- 0.58 g/t Au over 82.5 metres from 15 metres to 97.5 metres;
-
GR-12-414-R -- 0.92 g/t Au over 28.5 metres from 7.5 metres to 36 metres.
Additional drill results are included in the relevant table.
The Granada gold property is located on the prolific Cadillac trend in
northwestern Quebec, five kilometres south of the city of Rouyn-Noranda,
bordering Osisko-controlled property on one side. The jurisdiction is
widely acknowledged as having a rich history of mining in a
stable geo-political environment that features numerous economic gold
deposits and operating gold mines, with Quebec consistently ranking in
the top five best places to mine globally.
With over 80 per cent of the expanded Long Bars zone yet to be systematically
explored, continuing drill results that continue to hit significant gold
mineralization are suggestive of a potentially massive deposit similar
in size to other deposits documented in the region. The
advanced infrastructure and advantageous Granada location will
facilitate and assist Gold Bullion as the company
moves toward mine development and gold production.

Core lengths are close to true thickness and uncut, some intervals
include low-grade zones.
Accurassay Laboratory conducted the 50-gram fire assay testing at its
facility in Ontario with blanks and standards inserted into the
sequence in addition to laboratory quality assurance/quality control.
Moreover, the water-filled-pit bottom survey carried out by Mazac
Geoservices Inc., at the request of SGS, has demonstrated that the
small pit to the east is a shallow pit of one lift only, and easily
accessible gold mineralization considered mined out in previous
resource statements will now be incorporated. Historical tailings are
only in historical pit 1, north of shaft No. 1.
Frank Basa, Gold Bullion's chief executive officer, remains confident in the potential of
Granada as drill results continue to demonstrate the presence of
progressively increasing widespread significant gold mineralization
supportive of a near-surface, low-grade, bulk-mining scenario. Additional
details regarding continuing planning and continued progress at Granada
will be released as they are finalized. The company remains committed
to releasing an updated NI 43-101 by the end of December, 2012.
Claude Duplessis, Eng, is acting as the qualified person for Gold
Bullion in compliance with NI 43-101
