Bullfrog Gold To Resume Drilling At Newsboy Gold Project

 

GRAND JUNCTION, CO - Bullfrog Gold Corp. reported that it is starting the third drill program at the Newsboy Gold Project located 45 miles NW of Phoenix, Arizona. A 30-hole drill program in the area of the main Newsboy deposit and the new Queen of Sheba exploration target area is scheduled for completion by early April 2013. Thereafter the Company intends to engage an independent firm to update estimates of mineral resources on all Project lands. The Company also plans to complete a fourth drill program before mid-June 2013 to further explor and expand resources.

Drilling approximately 12 holes is scheduled to on a State of Arizona Exploration Permit and the two leased patents. Completing the remaining 18 holes on Federal lands is awaiting imminent approvals from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and from the Arizona Department of Water Resources. On January 11, 2013 the Company was issued an Authority to Operate under an updated General Permit, thereby fulfilling all requirements of the Maricopa County Air Quality Department for this third program.

Layne Christensen of Chandler, Arizona completed the first two drill programs on the Project during 2012 and has been engaged for this third program. Skyline Labs of Tucson, Arizona will continue to provide analytical services. Clive Bailey, CPG will continue to plan and manage field operations and provide sample and assay quality assurances and controls.

The program is designed to further explore the higher grade zones intersected in the main deposit area during the first two drill programs. The Company is also excited about drilling the Queen of Sheba exploration target area, where mineralization appears to be higher grade than in the main deposit.
