Abstract

(CCNMatthews - Nov. 10, 2006) - Bullion River Gold Corp. (OTCBB:BLRV)(FWB:BVM) announces it has successfully completed test mining at its French Gulch mine and is starting production. The test mining consisted of mining ore from the two main vein systems, the Washington and the Lucky 7 veins, the overhaul, upgrading and commissioning of its 220 t/d mill, the installation and commissioning of a water treatment plant and ongoing development work. The mill, with its gravity and flotation circuits, has averaged just over 90 % recovery during the final phases of test mining. During the initial test mining phase between June and August, 641 tons of low grade material (around 0.1 oz/ton) was processed in order to confirm the general functioning of the mill, the fine tuning of the entire process and the training of mill operators. After accomplishing these tasks, higher grade material in excess of 3,100 tons was tested from the beginning of September at recovery rates of plus 85 %, with the final two weeks exceeding 90 % recovery.
