"Our diamond drilling program continues to intersect significant gold zones and we now have multiple targets, both near surface and deep, for future exploration", stated Lucas Ewart, President and CEO for Bison Gold. Bison is currently drilling near surface targets (less than 50 metres depth) that were identified from Au-in-soil geochemical anomalies and surface exploration efforts from this past summer. The next set of results is anticipated within the next two to three weeks.

QA/QC

Drill core was sawed, with half sent to TSL Labs in Saskatoon, SK and the other half retained for reference. Most gold analyses were done using 50g fire assay with AA finish. A gravimetric finish is employed where samples return gold values in excess of 3000 ppb. Screen metallics techniques were used on samples with visible gold. TSL maintains a strict quality control program with standards, blanks and duplicates included with every sample series. Standards and blanks are inserted regularly by Bison Gold personnel in to the sample series at their core processing facility.

All exploration activities for Bison Gold are under the supervision and guidance of David C. Benson, P.Geo, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr. Benson has reviewed the technical portions of this news release.
