About Blossom Gold Inc.

Blossom Gold is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration and development company that recently began trading on the TSX under the symbol BGAU. Blossom Gold acquired the Rosebud project in connection with the TSX listing and will be focused on the exploration and development of the project. The Rosebud project includes the former Rosebud mine, where mining was conducted from 1997 through 2000 by the Rosebud Mining Company, a Newmont-Hecla joint venture, using underground mining methods where the mine operated at a cut-off grade of approximately 0.2 ounce per ton gold (6.8 grams per tonne gold), when gold prices ranged from $250 (U.S.) to $350 (U.S.) per ounce; with mined material truck hauled approximately 120 miles to an existing Newmont oxide mill for processing.

The current vision for the Rosebud project is to evaluate the remaining higher-grade mineralization and the surrounding larger volume of lower-grade mineralization as a potential open-pit mining operation with on-site, heap-leach processing and recovery of gold and silver. The Rosebud project currently hosts an inferred mineral resource of 70,755,000 tons grading 0.62 gram per tonne gold (0.018 ounce per ton gold) and 6.49 grams per tonne silver (0.189 ounce per ton silver) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4 million ounces of silver. The mineral resource estimate was open pit constrained using long-term gold and silver prices of $2,500 (U.S.) and $35 (U.S.) per ounce, respectively. The deposit is open in all directions.
