Bullfrog Gold Summarizes Exploration/Development Progress and Plans at its Project in the Bullfrog Mining District of Nevada

27.07.2020  |  GlobeNewswire
GRAND JUNCTION, July 27, 2020 - Bullfrog Gold Corp. (BFGC:OTCQB; BFG:CSE; 11B:FSE) (“Bullfrog”, “BFGC” or the “Company”) is pleased to summarize progress during the first half of 2020 and its exploration and development plans for the coming 12 months at the Bullfrog Project (“Project”) located 125 miles NW of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Progress
A key event in 2020 was the C$2.0 million private placement completed in mid-January that funded Company and Project obligations while achieving main objectives while advancing the Project as follows:

  • Further defined and expanded potential resources and pit limits of the Mystery Hill (“MH”) area that is adjacent to the Bullfrog pit and the Montgomery-Shoshone (“MS”) pit.
  • Drilled two initial test holes in the new Paradise Ridge exploration target and confirmed the host rocks are identical to those in the Bullfrog deposit located one mile to the west.
  • Fulfilled the final work commitment for the Company to exercise its option to purchase the lands currently under lease from Barrick Bullfrog Inc.(“Barrick”).
  • Completed cultural surveys that specifically permitted drilling on the patented and unpatented lands in the Barrick lease/option.
  • Based on investor awareness efforts and drill program results, substantially increased the trading volume of Bullfrog’s shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange, the OTCQB Venture Market and the Frankfurt, Tradegate and other German exchanges. For reference, results from all 25 holes recently drilled are summarized in Table 1.

Project Plans
Subject to funding, exploration and development plans for the next 12 months mainly include:

  • Design the next drill program, secure the required permits, and complete another exploration and development drill program.
  • Perform additional tests on drill cuttings, core and bulk samples from several areas, depths and grades in the Bullfrog, MH and MS deposits to assess variabilities in recovery and ascertain the average 85% gold recovery recently achieved by using high pressure grinding rolls that produce finer leach feeds containing more micro-fractures than conventional crushing equipment.

  • Complete an independent preliminary economic analysis that would include capital and operating cost estimates, facility siting studies, updated resource estimates within an optimized pit plan and selection of the scenario that delivers the best Project financial performance.

As hole BM-20-22 intersected 24 meters at 0.54 g gold/t and 2.1 g silver/t about 40 meters under the MS pit and the nearest hole along strike to the northeast is barren but 190 meters away, two or more holes are planned in this area to test for significant potential extensions toward the northeast. No additional drilling is currently needed in the MH and Bullfrog pit areas. Several additional holes and related studies are planned to further define and test the Paradise Ridge exploration target as well as several other targets generated by the Company.

About Bullfrog Gold Corp. and Current Resources
Bullfrog Gold Corp. is a Delaware corporation that controls the commanding land and mineral positions in the Bullfrog Mine area where Barrick produced 2.3 million ounces of gold by mining and conventional milling beginning in 1989 and ending in 1999 when ore reserves were depleted. Measured and indicated (M&I) 43-101 compliant resources were estimated in mid-2017 by Tetra Tech Inc. at 525,000 ounces of gold, averaging 1.02 gold g/t in base case plans of the MS and Bullfrog pits, the latter of which included minor MH resources. Most of these resources are in the north extension to the Bullfrog pit. Inferred resources were estimated at 110,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.2 g/t, of which most were in the Mystery Hill area It is noted that the 3-year trailing average gold price is now $185 higher than the $1,200 average price used in 2017. The resource estimates were also based on a heap leach gold recovery of 72% compared to the average 85% leach test recoveries recently achieved on four bulk samples.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
The drill program was designed by David Beling, CEO and P.E., and managed by Clive Bailey, CPG and Lead Consultant responsible for all aspects of field activities, geological services and quality assurance and control requirements. On-site personnel log and track all samples prior to sealing and shipping. Quality control is monitored by the insertion of blind, certified standard reference materials, duplicate splits, and blanks into each sample shipment. All samples are shipped to American Assay Laboratories (AAL) in Reno, Nevada, for preparation and assaying. AAL is independent of the Company, and its quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and duplicate samples. Upon receipt of all assays, additional field samples and pulps may be assayed by other labs to further validate and verify results. Mr. Beling has verified the data underlying the information disclosed herein, including sampling, analytical and test data, and reviewing the reports of AAL, methodologies, results and all procedures undertaken for quality assurance and quality control in a manner consistent with industry practice.
