Gold Stocks; GOLD BULLION CONTINUES TO EXPAND MINERALIZED ZONES AT GRANADA PROPERTY

Vancouver, British Columbia - February 15, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (CDNX:GBB.V) (Other OTC:GBBFF.PK) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") has received assay results for 56 diamond drill holes on its 100% owned Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. This includes the remaining assay results from the Phase 2, 25,000-metre drill program as well as initial holes of the 50,000 metre Phase-3 program. To date, over 13,000 metres of the Phase 3 program have been drilled. The goal of the current drill campaign is to test the continuity between the currently outlined Preliminary Block Model area and the eastern section of the LONG Bars Zone.
"We have now drilled an area 1,200 metres long and from 250 to 500 metres wide at the Granada property", commented Mr. Frank Basa, President and CEO of Gold Bullion Development Corp. "We are very pleased with the results to date and believe they will ultimately significantly expand the mineralized area in all directions outside the Preliminary Block Model."
Summary
  • Outside of the Preliminary Block Model area, drilling has identified significant gold mineralization, many with long intercepts, in new structures in the NE Extension, SE Extension and Eastern Extension sectors.
  • Consulting geologists at GENIVAR believe they may have intersected the extension of Vein #5 in the NE Waste Pile Sector
  • Drills intersected high grade gold intervals in the Trail sector which may be related to a series of NNE trending fault zones. More work is required to validate this relationship.
  • In the Preliminary Block Model area, Vein #2 has been extended along strike and down dip into the Vein #2 sector and numerous smaller parallel mineralized structures were identified to the north, in the hanging wall of the Vein.
  • An aggressive drilling campaign continues to target the NE Extension, SE Extension and NE Waste Pile sectors.
  • In March a drill will be moved to the Eastern part of the property to test the promising Aukeko target.
For increased clarity and ease of locating drill hole stations, the names of sector areas are being used to help describe drill hole locations with reference to the drill plan map which can be found on our website at http://www.GoldBullionDevelopmentCorp.com.
Mineralization at Granada is typically associated with finely disseminated pyrite and/or arsenopyrite. It is hosted within altered sericitized and silicified syenite feldspar porphyry sills and quartz vein stockwork and breccias as well as quartz-carbonate veinlets in the sedimentary rocks. These structures strike in an East-West direction and dip steeply to the north. Numerous parallel mineralized structures have been identified throughout the property.
Newly Delineated Structures
Gold Bullion's geological consultants, GENIVAR, report that additional structures have been intersected in the following sectors of the property; the NE Extension, the SE Extension and the Eastern Extension. Some drill hole highlights from these sectors include:
  • Hole GR-10-113 in the NE Extension zone intersected a vein grading 162.75 g/t gold over 1.09 metres (starting 232.5-metres down hole).
  • In the SE Extension area, holes GR-10-131 and 134 intersected what GENIVAR believes to be the same new structure. Hole GR-10-134 intersected 9.3-metres averaging 1.09 g/t gold within a 57-metre interval averaging 0.56 g/t gold. Hole GR-10-131 intersected 5-metres averaging 2.14 g/t gold within a 129-metre interval averaging 0.15 g/t gold.
  • In the Eastern Extension zone, (where previously reported Hole GR-10-17 intersected 65.5 metres averaging 1.21 g/t gold), nine additional holes intersected long intervals of mineralization interspersed with narrow sections of higher grade. Hole GR-10-153 hit 135-metres averaging 0.62 g/t gold starting 3.9-metres down-hole. This included a 1-metre interval averaging 54.97 g/t starting 3.9-metres down-hole. Hole GR-10-145 cut a 45.9-metre interval averaging 0.82 g/t gold starting 31.3-metres down-hole that included a 1.5-metre interval that averaged 12.3 g/t gold.
NE Waste Pile Sector
In the NE Waste Pile Zone, GENIVAR believes it may have intersected the extension of Vein #5 in Holes GR-10-118 and GR-10-141. The Vein #5 outlined in the Preliminary Block Model Zone and based on this drill data may continue eastward. Hole GR-10-141 intersected 1.5-metres averaging 39.9 g/t gold, starting 40-metres down hole. This occurred in a larger mineralized envelope that averaged 0.52 g/t over 276 metres.
Trail Sector (Sector between Eastern Extension and Preliminary Block Model area)
A series of holes were drilled to test NNE trending faults identified in the Trail Sector. It is hypothesized that these faults may have acted as conduits for mineralizing fluids. Hole GR-10-117 cut a number of high grade intervals including:
  • 2.4 metres averaging 22.5 g/t gold starting 4.6 metres down hole
  • 1 metre averaging 14.95 g/t gold starting 76.5 metres down hole
  • 1 metre averaging 15.65 g/t gold starting 107.5 metres down hole
  • 18.5 metres averaging 2.3 g/t gold starting 150.5 metres down hole
These intervals, together with lower grade sections averaged 0.74 g/t gold over 198 metres.
Vein 2 Sector
A total of 16 new holes were drilled into the Vein #2 sector. Results have extended the vein down dip between 100 and 200 metres. In addition, numerous smaller parallel veins have been intersected in the hanging wall of Vein #2. All of these veins appear to be related to an altered feldspar porphyry.
Significant drill results include Hole GR-10-114 which intersected 177 metres averaging 0.51 g/t gold starting 3 metres down hole and Hole GR-10-54 which intersected 110 metres averaging 0.55 g/t gold starting 19 metres down hole.
Looking Ahead
Currently Gold Bullion has two drill rigs turning on the property as part of its Phase 3 drilling campaign. Five more holes will be collared in the NE Extension sector. An additional three holes will target the NE Waste Pile area and three holes will test the SE Extension sector (more if results warrant).
Later in March, Gold Bullion intends to drill test the Aukeko Shaft and the surrounding area. This target is situated on the eastern part of the property about 2 km east of the LONG Bars Zone. Historical data indicates that considerable visible gold was noted in the Aukeko vein at the bottom of the Aukeko shaft. Previous geological mapping detected numerous easterly striking syenite porphyry "dykes" and quartz veins similar to what is seen at the LONG Bars zone.
The Company plans to initiate a NI-43-101 resource estimate this summer once the majority of the Phase 3 drill results are received.
Please refer to the detailed drill map available on the Gold Bullion web site, www.GoldBullionDevelopmentCorp.com.
InvestorIdeas.com Mining Newswire Widths reported in the preceding table are drill widths; true widths are unknown at this time. Assays are uncut, length-weighted average values.
QA/QC
Gold Bullion's NQ drill program and drill core sampling, including the quality assurance/quality control program, are supervised by GENIVAR, Gold Bullion's geological consultant. Core from the above holes was sent to ALS Chemex Labs in Val d'Or, Quebec, and Laboratoire Expert in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, for analysis. Gold was assayed by fire assay with additional metallics analysis done on samples where visible gold was identified. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks and reference materials at both labs. Quality control is further assured by the insertion of blind certified standard reference material and blanks into the sample stream at regular intervals by Gold Bullion and GENIVAR personnel in order to independently assess analytical accuracy.

Mining Stocks; YALE Continues to Expand Silver Target at Los Amoles

February 15, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report that field work at the Los Amoles Property continues to expand the main mineralized zone and has defined a vein system that has been traced on surface for approximately 800 metres along strike. Work at Los Amoles was done by Yale on behalf of Nature's Call, who has an option to earn a 70% interest in the property.
Sampling included:
  • 2.0 metres grading 0.63 g/t gold and 698.6 g/t silver
  • 6.0 metres averaging 0.33 g/t gold and 226.6 g/t silver
    • including 2.0 metres grading 0.63 g/t gold and 497.3 g/t silver
  • 1.0 metres grading 0.33 g/t gold and 496.8 g/t silver
  • Dump material grading 0.24 g/t gold and 1,027.5 g/t silver
This latest field program was designed to prospect, map and sample the southern portion of the 1.0 by 2.5 kilometre main target area (see news releases dated April 15 and May 27, 2010). This work was successful in identifying an additional 20+ historic workings and Yale personnel successfully traced mineralization on surface for approximately 800 metres along strike. Sampling at irregular intervals along the strike length has returned gold and silver values.
In addition to strong values within the veins sampling has shown that proximal to the veins the host andesitic volcanic rocks often host silver mineralization in the order of 15 to 50 grams per tonne. A table of the highlight samples is provided below:
InvestorIdeas.com Mining Newswire To date, greater than 45 historic workings and greater than 20 gold/silver veins have been identified within approximately 60% of the El Rosario target area that measures 1.0 by 2.5 kilometres. Another stage of fieldwork is planned in order to map and sample the remaining areas within the El Rosario target. This work will be done in advance of geophysics, which in turn, will be done to delineate priority locations for drilling.
About the Los Amoles Property:
The early stage wholly owned 16.3 square kilometre Los Amoles Property is located approximately 150 kilometres northeast of the Hermosillo, Sonora State, Mexico. The property is 10 kilometres northeast of the La Caridad Mine, operated by Grupo Mexico, which is one of the largest mining and processing complexes in Mexico.
Nature's Call has an option to earn a 70% interest in the property by paying to Yale US $ 50,000 (received), spending US $ 900,000 on exploration expenditures and issuing 1,000,000 shares (200,000 have been received) to Yale over three years.
Work performed to date by Yale has concentrated on an area (the Rosales area) that is on the eastern edge of a 4.0 by 2.75 km regional magnetic anomaly. Yale's interpretation is that the Rosales area represents silver-lead +/- gold veins that are distal to a porphyry system. The potential for this regional anomaly to reflect a buried porphyry has yet to be tested. Many of Sonora's most significant porphyry deposits are located within 70 km of the Los Amoles property.
Samples from Los Amoles were prepared and analyzed by IPL Inspectorate in their facilities in Mexico and Vancouver, respectively. Samples generally consisted of 1-3 kg of material. Gold and silver analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Samples with greater than 100 g/t silver were re-assayed using gravimetric methods.
Ian Foreman, P.Geo., is Yale Resources� Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Los Amoles property is an early stage project that requires additional sampling and geological mapping to fully determine the project�s potential.
On behalf of the Board,
"Ian Foreman"

Mining Stocks News; Newmont (NYSE:NEM) Expands Nevada Growth Potential With Acquisition of Fronteer Gold (TSX, NYSE Amex: FRG)

 .DENVER, Feb. 3, 2011 ( Investorideas.com mining stocks newswire ) -- Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE:NEM) ("Newmont" or "the Company") and Fronteer Gold Inc. (TSX, NYSE Amex: FRG) ("Fronteer Gold") today announced that they have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Newmont will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Fronteer Gold by way of a Plan of Arrangement.

Under the Plan of Arrangement, shareholders of Fronteer Gold will receive Cdn$14.00 in cash and one common share in a new company ("Pilot Gold"), which will own certain exploration assets of Fronteer Gold, for each common share of Fronteer Gold.  The cash consideration represents a premium of approximately 37% to the closing price of the common shares of Fronteer Gold on the TSX as of February 2, 2011 and equates to a value of approximately Cdn$2.3 billion for Fronteer Gold (excluding Pilot Gold). 

Fronteer Gold owns a 100% interest in the development-stage Long Canyon project, which is located approximately one hundred miles from Newmont's existing infrastructure in Nevada.  The proximity of Long Canyon to Newmont's Nevada operations provides the potential for significant development and operating synergies.  Fronteer Gold also owns a 100% interest in the Northumberland project and a joint venture interest with Newmont in the Sandman project in Nevada, among other assets.  Fronteer Gold has total attributable Measured and Indicated gold resources of 4.2 million ounces and Inferred resources of 1.7 million ounces at Long Canyon, Northumberland and Sandman.(1)

Pilot Gold will own a portfolio of Fronteer Gold's exploration properties in Nevada, Turkey, and Peru (see Exhibit A for a list of Pilot Gold's assets) and will be capitalized at closing with Cdn$10 million of cash.  Upon closing of the transaction, Fronteer Gold shareholders will hold an aggregate 80.1% interest in Pilot Gold, and Newmont will hold the remaining 19.9% interest.  As part of the Plan of Arrangement, the Pilot Gold common shares will be consolidated on a one-for-four basis.

"The acquisition of Fronteer Gold will contribute significantly to our anticipated growth profile in North America," stated Richard O'Brien, Newmont's President and CEO.  "The Long Canyon project, with its Carlin trend-like metallurgical and geological characteristics, complements our existing project pipeline in Nevada. This combination of assets will allow Newmont to leverage our expertise and extensive infrastructure in the region.  Based on the work conducted to date by Fronteer Gold, as well as our own due diligence, we believe that Long Canyon holds the potential to grow beyond 3 to 4 times Fronteer Gold's current stated resource estimate, with an attractive average gold grade of approximately 2.3 grams per tonne. Additionally, we believe that Fronteer Gold's wider portfolio of assets offers further upside potential for our portfolio."  

In January 2011, Fronteer Gold released an interim resource estimate for Long Canyon, which reported Measured and Indicated resources of approximately 1.4 million gold ounces and an additional Inferred resource of approximately 0.8 million gold ounces.(1) 

Fronteer Gold President and CEO, Mark O'Dea, stated: "This transaction delivers an immediate and attractive premium to our shareholders.  It not only recognizes the current value of our key Nevada gold projects, but rewards shareholders for their future growth.  The team at Fronteer Gold has done an exceptional job of creating value and we are proud of the high quality project pipeline that we have built in Nevada.  Newmont shares our view that Long Canyon, our flagship project, is a 'best-in-class' asset with excellent production attributes and significant growth potential.  Importantly, this transaction continues to expose Fronteer Gold shareholders to our ongoing exploration and development success through Pilot Gold.  Pilot Gold will have an ideal new company structure, an experienced Board of Directors and management team, and sufficient financial resources to immediately undertake active exploration programs in both Turkey and Nevada.  We welcome Newmont as our largest shareholder in Pilot Gold and we look forward to creating ongoing value for shareholders in the near-term."

Newmont in Nevada:

Newmont's land position in Nevada extends over 2 million acres.  From its regional base in Elko, the Company currently operates six open pit mines, five underground mines, and nine process facilities.  In addition, Newmont's project pipeline in Nevada includes Greater Leeville-Turf, Phoenix Copper Leach, Greater Gold Quarry, and our 'Sleeping Giants' (Mike, Fiberline, Greater Phoenix and Copper Basin).  In 2010, Nevada operations produced 1.7 million attributable gold ounces, which was approximately 32% of the Company's total attributable gold production for the year.  Nevada represents growth for Newmont, as evidenced by a 2011 exploration and development budget of approximately $285 million for near-mine activities.  The Company plans to advance exploration activity in early and advanced stage projects such as Greater Leeville-Turf, Mike, Fiberline, Copper Basin and Greater Phoenix. 

Transaction Details:

The transaction will be carried out by way of a Plan of Arrangement, the implementation of which will be subject to approval by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast at a special meeting of Fronteer Gold shareholders that is expected to be held in early April 2011 followed by the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.  Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement agreement between Newmont and Fronteer Gold, the transaction is also subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The arrangement agreement also provides for, among other things, customary board support and non-solicitation covenants (subject to the fiduciary obligations of the Fronteer Gold Board and a Newmont "right to match") as well as the payment to Newmont of a break fee equal to Cdn$85 million if the proposed transaction is not completed in certain specified circumstances.

The Board of Directors of Fronteer Gold after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, has unanimously determined that the proposed transaction is in the best interests of Fronteer Gold and is fair to Fronteer Gold's shareholders and will recommend that Fronteer Gold's shareholders vote in favor of the transaction.  RBC Capital Markets, acting as financial advisor to Fronteer Gold and its Board of Directors, has provided an opinion that the consideration to be received by Fronteer Gold's shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to Fronteer Gold shareholders.  All of the directors and senior officers have entered into customary support agreements pursuant to which, among other things, they have agreed to vote their common shares in favor of the transaction.

The terms and conditions of the proposed transaction will be summarized in Fronteer Gold's management information circular, which will be filed and mailed to Fronteer Gold shareholders in March 2011.  It is anticipated that the transaction, if approved by Fronteer Gold's shareholders, will be completed in the second quarter of 2011.

Copies of the Plan of Arrangement agreement and certain related documents will be filed with Canadian securities regulators and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and will be available on the Canadian SEDAR website at www.sedar.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The management information circular will also be available as part of Fronteer Gold's public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.

Advisors and Counsel:

Newmont's financial advisor is BMO Capital Markets, and its legal counsel are Goodmans LLP and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.  Fronteer Gold's financial advisor is RBC Capital Markets, and its legal counsel is Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP.

Mining Stocks; NORTH ARROW OPTIONS HOPE BAY ORO GOLD PROJECT TO CHELSEA MINERALS INC.

February 3, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) North Arrow Minerals Inc. (NAR: TSXV) is pleased to announce an option agreement with Chelsea Minerals Inc., (NEX:CCC.H) allowing Chelsea the right to earn a 60% interest in North Arrow's Hope Bay Oro gold project in Nunavut. The Oro project consists of five leases covering an area of over 10,000 acres that adjoins the new Hope Bay Gold Mine. Under the terms of the agreement, Chelsea may earn up to a 60% interest in the project by making an initial cash payment of $50,000 and spending $5 million over a five year period. A minimum expenditure of $500,000 is required in the first year.
In conjunction with entering into the Option Agreement, Chelsea has entered into a Letter of Intent with Sennen Resources Ltd ("Sennen") (TSXV: SN), which contemplates that Sennen will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Chelsea by way of a share exchange, whereby, pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement, shareholders of Chelsea would receive one share of Sennen for every two and one half common shares of Chelsea held by them. Sennen has over $15 million in its treasury and can fund the exploration obligations for the Hope Bay project without the need to raise any further capital.
North Arrow's Oro project directly adjoins the Doris North mine being brought into production by Hope Bay Mining Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation). Hope Bay Mining's project includes the Doris, Boston and Madrid deposits that contain an estimated 9 million ounces of gold and collectively represent one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in Canada. The deposits are located within an 80 km long Archean greenstone belt, the northern 10 km of which is covered by North Arrow's mining leases. Hope Bay Mining is continuing aggressive exploration in parallel with mine development which confirms their expectations of making further discoveries.
The Oro project hosts numerous gold showings and potentially gold bearing structures which have been evaluated by only minimal exploration. Several high grade native silver deposits, mined in the 1970's, are also located on the property and the potential exists to find larger hidden silver deposits associated with structures since identified across the property.
Exploration work on the Oro project will be focused on two mineralized zones; the Ida Point prospect at the northern end of the property and the Wombat zone at the southern end. Exploration at Ida Point will be centred on the 600 m long Elu shear zone, where surface trenching over a 400 m strike length has returned significant gold values including 11.6 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 1.9 m and 24.7 g/t Au over 5 m. A four hole diamond drill program in 1998 returned downhole intersections of 14.3 g/t Au over 2 m and 5.5 g/t Au over 6 m. Wombat is a gold bearing shear zone which has been traced for more than 1,000 m near the property's southern boundary. A number of short holes were previously drilled at Wombat with one returning 40.3 g/t Au over 2.7 m.
The location of the Oro project, situated along strike from Hope Bay Mining's multi-million ounce gold deposits, represents a significant opportunity for North Arrow and will supplement the Company's diamond exploration activities in northern Canada. The exploration program for the Oro project will be managed by North Arrow and the permitting process is underway with plans to commence drilling and surface exploration as early as possible in 2011. Access to the property is enhanced by its proximity to Hope Bay Mining's Roberts Bay port facility and airstrip, located two kilometres and three kilometres to the southwest, respectively.
Completion of the Option Agreement with Chelsea and its Plan of Arrangement with Sennen remains subject to completion of a satisfactory due diligence review and receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, including but not limited to acceptance of the transaction by the NEX and, if required, the TSX Venture Exchange.
North Arrow's exploration programs are conducted under the supervision of Gordon Clarke, P.Geol (NT&NU), Vice President, Exploration for North Arrow and a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Mining News; Running Fox Resource (TSX VENTURE:RUN) (PINK SHEETS:RFXRF) (FRANKFURT:C8Q) to Acquire 100% of High Grade Brett Gold Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - January 27, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) - Steven Schurman, P. Geol (US), CEO, Director, reports:
Running Fox (TSX VENTURE:RUN) (PINK SHEETS:RFXRF) (FRANKFURT:C8Q) is pleased to report that it has entered into an agreement, subject to regulatory acceptance, to acquire the remaining 50% of the Brett Gold Project from Mosquito Consolidated Gold Mines.
This will result in Running Fox owning 100 % of the Brett Gold Project.
Key terms include one million dollars cash and three million common shares, with a closing date of 30 days after regulatory acceptance, and MSQ has reserved a sliding scale net smelter royalty of between 2 % to 8%, tied to the price of gold, which in the current price range of between $1,000 to $1,500 US per ounce, the royalty would be 5%. Also, there is a legacy royalty of 2% on two of the claims, and Running Fox has granted MSQ the same sliding scale royalty as above on two of its solely owned claims adjacent to the north.
Running Fox retains the right to purchase one-half of the royalty for one million dollars per percentage point at any time up till one year after commercial production commences.
Running Fox also has a Right of First Refusal on any sale of all or part of the royalty to a third party.
Following the above share issuance, Running Fox will have approx. 49 million shares outstanding. The Company has recurring cash flow and after recent progress, very little debt.
Brett Property Geology
The Brett property has been interpreted to be a classic epithermal, high grade gold vein system with gold and silver mineralization occurring in northwest and northeast trending shear zones. The geology of the Brett property appears to be similar to gold deposits that occur in volcanic rocks found to the south in the Republic Mining District of Washington State.
Gold and Silver:
While the Brett Gold Project is best known for high grade gold, it also has silver potential.
Most of the silver drill grades, while significant, were not reported as the price of silver was low. The silver component however can be illustrated by the results of a previous bulk tonnage sample.
The Project 's 291 ton bulk sample was processed by Teck Cominco's smelter facility in Trail, BC from simple surface excavated pits.
The Teck Cominco smelter receipts for the whole bulk sample proved ore averaged 28 grams per tonne gold plus 64 grams per tonne silver.
The drill intercepts in this news release include the gold only.
Between 1985 and 2004 core and reverse circulation drill holes tested the high grade gold mineralization identified as the "Main Shear Zone".
A key drill intercept included:
- RC93-19 which intercepted 16.76 meters that graded 35.79 grams gold per tonne. This intercept included two splits of 3.01 meters grading 57.88 grams gold per tonne and 4.57 meters grading 107.88 grams gold per tonne.
The 2004 drilling program intersected significant gold bearing intersections in 15 of the 17 holes drilled including:
DDH# 04-01 intersected 10.2 meters grading 5.28 grams per ton including 1.6 meters grading 29.6 grams per ton gold, and,
DDH# 04-02 intersected 11.6 meters grading 10.39 grams gold per ton including 3.1 meters grading 34.02 grams per ton gold; and,
DDH# 04-12 intercepted 1.3 feet meters grading 176 grams per ton gold in a new shear zone.
This new zone, located on a tuffaceous bed, is located 53 metres east of the main shear zone and represents a totally new zone as none of the previous drill holes went as far east as this hole. The zone is cut off by several postmineral dikes in the core, possibly indicating the presence of a second parallel shear structure. If so, this would be the first confirmation of bonanza high-grade gold values (greater than one ounce per ton gold) on a parallel shear structure, opening the possibility that similar high-grade zones may be present, along the numerous other shears identified during surface work. The entire strike length of the new shear structure is unexplored as none of the previous drill holes were near its projection.
Trenching:
Numerous trenches have returned very high gold grades, some are selected below that have been noted as locations for follow-up and further trenching or diamond drilling:
Trench #From (meters)To (meters)Length (meters)Gold grams/t
TR93-77005.565.5612.67 grams
And 93-TR9575.667.531.8723.84 grams

See Top 40 Gold Intercepts on website
The 2004 a soil geochemical survey identified numerous and as yet untested gold in soil anomalies as much as 2,000 meters north of the Main Shear Zone drilling which appear to trend in the same northeast and northwest direction as the gold mineralization found in the shear zones around the Main Shear Zone. Gold mineralization found in a road cut 3,000 meters north of the Main Shear Zone drilling assayed 9.5 grams per ton gold. Running Fox believes that these untested soil anomalies represent significant exploration targets that are similar in geology and grade of gold mineralization to that found around the Main Shear Zone.
Running Fox will be planning a 2011 exploration campaign at the Brett property that will also include drilling and trenching of soil anomalies, as the prior program opened up large areas for exploration and the development of additional gold bearing zones.
Complete maps, geochem, and drilling history are available for review/download on the Running Fox website.
The project has significant early stage block calculations on a small portion of one shear zone-- and there are many shear zones, running under large undrilled geochem zones with good gold values over large areas, (see Geochem in Assessment Report).
Following further drilling a new 43-101 Technical Report will be requested that will include all drilling and a qualifying resource calculation.
See the Early Block Model on the website, as well as the brief 3D Geological and drillhole movie on website www.foxgold.ca

CURRIE ROSE (TSX.V:CUI) PARTNERS WITH AUSTRALIAN-BASED COMPANY TO DEVELOP JUBILEE REEF PROJECT IN TANZANIA

January 25, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com mining stocks newswire) - Mr. Harold Smith reports: Currie Rose Resources (TSX.V - CUI) is pleased to announce it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Australian-based Liontown Resources Limited (ASX - LTR) to develop Currie Rose�s Jubilee Reef Gold Project in northwest Tanzania. Jubilee Reef is located along the same Archaean greenstone-granite terrain that hosts a number of world class gold deposits.
The agreement allows Liontown Resources to earn as much as a 75% interest in the project by completing a definitive feasibility study. Liontown can first earn a 51% interest by drilling a minimum of 5,000 metres at Jubilee this year (scheduled to commence in the second quarter) and an additional 10,000 metres by no later than December 31, 2013. Liontown must spend a minimum $50,000 on a four-month data review for drill target definition.
Previous exploration including soil sampling and shallow drilling has defined several gold anomalies at Jubilee Reef that are open along strike and effectively untested at depth. The more advanced of these anomalies include:
  • Shangaza-Panapeneza prospect -- a one-kilometre-long gold anomaly defined by 12 rotary air blast (RAB) drill holes with an average depth of 46 metres. The RAB drilling intersected up to 19 metres at 3.6 grams per tonne gold from 26 metres depth while limited and deeper reverse-circulation (RC) drilling intersected up to 20 metres at 1.5 g/t Au from 123 metres depth.
  • Chela prospect -- a more-than-one-kilometre-long gold anomaly defined by five wide-spaced RAB/aircore drill holes with an average depth of 32 metres. Better near-surface intersections include four metres at 3.6 g/t Au and eight metres at 1.3 g/t Au. The mineralized trend is open along strike and remains untested at depth.
  • Masibi Hill prospect -- an over-500-metre-long gold anomaly defined by four wide-spaced RAB/aircore drill holes with an average depth of 26 metres. Numerous holes bottomed in anomalous gold and limited deeper RC drilling intersected 14 metres grading 1.0 g/t Au from 62 metres depth. Masibi is open along strike and is largely untested at depth.
Upon a successful further review of Jubilee Reef geological data, which includes airborne aeromagnetic and VTEM surveys, Liontown will proceed with a minimum 5,000-metre phase I drill program. The company holds the right to withdraw from the agreement after its initial data review and target definition expenditure of at least $50,000.
"This win-win joint venture with Liontown allows us to maintain our focus on two major and very exciting projects, Sekenke and Mabale Hills, while at the same time developing another important asset in the area through a strategic partnership," stated Harold Smith, Currie Rose president and chief executive officer. "Added to the minimum 10,000 metres of drilling we've already committed to at Sekenke and Mabale Hills, and the 8,000 metres now under way at our Scadding gold property near Sudbury through our partner Trueclaim Exploration, 5,000 metres at Jubilee would give Currie Rose at least 23,000 metres of drilling on its properties in 2011. This will be our most aggressive year ever for exploration. We're looking forward to the advancement of each of these projects."
Currie Rose continues its efforts to define the highest-priority targets for its first ever drill program at Sekenke, a nearly 300-square-kilometre land package that runs in between and surrounds two past-producing historic high-grade mines. In addition, new and historical data for the Mabale Hills project are being reviewed in preparation for a major drill program there.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) SUMMARIZES A SUCCESSFUL 2010

January 24, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to provide its shareholders with a recap of a very successful 2010 and the Company's plans for moving forward and continued growth in 2011.
Yale's business model of being a Project Generator showed its value to Yale's shareholders in 2010 by providing Yale with sufficient working capital to continue working on it's wholly owned projects and expand its portfolio of projects without diluting the Company by undertaking a financing. Yale added four properties to its comprehensive portfolio of projects in 2010. The Company was then successful in optioning out two of those properties - Guadalupe and Los Amoles.
Funding provided by Yale's partners in 2010 was approximately double that of 2009 � showing considerable growth in the Company's business plan. These expenditures were highlighted by the discovery of a previously unrecognized portion of the Marcos de Oro Vein within our wholly owned Guadalupe property. The intersection of 11.5 m averaging 2.03 g/t gold and 382.6 g/t silver (see news release dated Dec. 15, 2010) assures that additional work will be performed on the property. In addition, Yale's cash proceeds from its partners in 2010 was more than double that in 2009.
"For Yale to have raised that amount of money in 2010 we would have had to issue upwards of 18 million shares. By having partners help with the exploration of our projects we have kept dilution to a minimum", stated Ian Foreman, P.Geo., president of Yale.
Also during the year the Urique Project was returned to the Company. The option proved very successful in that a new high grade gold clavo was discovered within the El Rosario workings, with highlight samples grading: 9.74 g/t gold and 356.7 g/t silver over 1.68 m, 2.16 g/t gold and 92.5 g/t silver over 2.93 m, and 3.60 g/t gold and 108.2 g/t silver over 1.87 (see news release dated November 17, 2009). With the recent addition to the San Pedro target, Yale anticipates that it will be able to find a new partner for the property.
The projection for 2011 is for continued growth of Yale through the optioning of additional projects as well as increased exploration commitments on our current portfolio of optioned properties. In conjunction with working with our partners, Yale will continue to advance our wholly owned projects.
Yale anticipates that at least two projects will be drilled by partners in 2011 and that the Company will be able to drill at least one of its wholly owned projects.
Results are pending on the recent work program at Los Amoles completed on behalf of our partner Nature's Call and field work is anticipated to start shortly on the Company's newest property, Apache.
Stock Options:
The Company has granted 1,500,000 stock options to management, officers, directors and consultants of the Company at a value of $0.10 that will expire on January 24, 2014.
Samples from the Guadalupe property were prepared and analyzed by Stewart Labs in their facilities in Mexico and Kamloops, respectively. Samples generally consisted of 1-3 kg of material. Gold and silver analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Samples with greater than 1% copper, lead and/or zinc are re-analyzed using their ore grade analysis. Samples with greater than 100 g/t silver were re-assayed using gravimetric methods.

Gold Stocks; GOLD BULLION (TSX-V: GBB) INTERSECTS NEW MINERALIZED STRUCTURES IN LONG BARS ZONE; PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY FOR DRILL PROGRAM AT CASTLE SILVER MINE

Vancouver, British Columbia - January 21, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Mr. Frank J. Basa reports: Gold Bullion Development Corp. (GBB, TSX.V) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is pleased to report that Phase 2 drilling and nearly 11,000 metres of Phase 3 drilling at its 100% owned Granada Gold Property have intersected new mineralized structures throughout the LONG Bars Zone in both the Preliminary Block Model area and the Eastern Extension. Mineralization remains open in all directions and the Company expects to issue an overall exploration update on this large project, including a series of new assay results, in the very near future. The 50,000 metre program continues with two Landdrill International Inc. drill rigs. Gold Bullion is aggressively exploring Granada, located five kilometres south of Rouyn-Noranda in northwestern Quebec, as a potential open-pit deposit along the prolific Cadillac Trend where numerous multi-million ounce deposits have been discovered and developed.
Meanwhile, the Company is also pleased to announce that a 6,000 metre Phase 1 drill program will commence by early next month at its Castle Silver Mine Property near Gowganda in northeastern Ontario.
The Castle Silver Mine, an historical producer of silver and cobalt, is within a basin shaped Nipissing diabase intrusive nearly 300 metres thick. Native silver mineralization is associated with vertical cobalt-nickel arsenide veins. The property covers 564 hectares.
The Phase 1 drill program at Castle has a three-fold purpose: 1) Historical workings will be tested for additional cobalt and silver mineralization; 2) Drilling below the historical horizon will attempt to intersect potential new silver mineralization associated with cobalt; and 3) Structures outside the areas of historical production will be tested for silver, cobalt and nickel potential. The program will be directed by Mr. Doug Robinson, P. Eng., and GENIVAR which is also managing the Company's exploration program at Granada.
Historical production at the Castle Silver Mine was taken from the upper half of the Nipissing diabase. Silver and cobalt deposits in and around the Cobalt Silver Mining Camp in northeastern Ontario are typically found below the center of the diabase.
"As we continue to develop our flagship asset at Granada, the drill program at the Castle Silver Mine will allow us to better evaluate our strategic options with regard to Castle so we can unlock maximum shareholder value for it," stated Frank J. Basa, Gold Bullion Development's President and CEO.
Gold Bullion will be exhibiting at Booth 1009 at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, January 23-24, 2011 at the Vancouver Convention Centre - West, 1055 Canada Place, Vancouver, British Columbia.
