Gold Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) announces preliminary metallurgical testing showing average gold recovery of 94.1 % with an average gold grade of 0.94 g/t at the Granada Gold Property

VANCOUVER - February 29, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) is pleased to announce the release of 29 composite sample results from the SGS Lakefield Gold Metallurgical Testing Group. These results are to be used in the Total gold determination program that SGS Geostat is working on for the Granada Gold Property located on the prolific Cadillac trend, south of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada.
The purpose of the test was to determine the head grades and recoveries of the various composites in order to compare them with the individual assay results. Mr. Claude Duplessis , Eng., the SGS Geostat Q.P., selected 29 different composite samples from 29 different mineralized zones at various depths with variable grades. The test work consisted of a total gold metallurgical balance that resulted in overall gold recovery data.
Overall recovery rates averaged 94.1% ranging from 87.1% to 98.5%. These numbers demonstrate that even at low grades, superior recovery of gold can be achieved within the mineralized zones by using gravity followed by cyanidation on the Granada property. The recovery rates using only gravity ranged from 25.1% to 78.0% with an average rate of 50.6% indicating a significant amount of free gold is present.
Test details summary:
  • The composites were prepared by blending from 7 to 11 individual witness core samples to represent a continuous mineralized zone from 9.1 to 16.5m long. The total composite weight ranged from 17 kg to 41 kg
  • The composites were then crushed to minus 10 mesh. The crushed sample was riffled into 10 kg test charges with each composite treated in its entirety
  • Each composite sample was ground in 10 kg batches in a laboratory rod mill to approximately 80% passing 75 �m (1�10-6 of a metre.) The grind sizes for processing ranged from 52 - 102 �m, averaging 77 �m
  • The mill discharge was passed through a Knelson concentrator and the concentrate was then cleaned on a Mozley mineral separator. All of the resulting concentrate from the Mozley separator was then fire assayed for gold
  • The Mozley and Knelson tailings were then combined and submitted for cyanide leaching
  • The pregnant leach solution was collected and submitted for gold (Au) assay. The leached pulp was also sampled for gold content by fire assay. An overall (gravity + cyanidation) gold metallurgical balance was then performed to calculate the head grade of each composite
Tests were conducted under the supervision of Lesley Hendry , project metallurgist at the Lakefield facilities of SGS Canada.
The comparison between the length weighted average gold grade from the original uncapped assay results versus SGS Total gold on an individual basis shows some variance as expected. This variance is directly related to the nature of the gold mineralization at Granada. The weighted average of the original composite data is 1.16 g/t while the average of the total gold test is 0.94 g/t. When the capping of an individual Fire Assay result of 36.94 g/t in composite #14 to 10 g/t is applied, the original average grade is 1.05g/t.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) Expands Gold Mineralized Zones at San Pedro, Urique

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - February 23, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL, OTCBB: YRLLF, and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report that a comprehensive work program is now underway at the Urique Project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico, immediately north of Goldcorp's El Sauzal gold mine and immediately south of Kimber Resources' Monterde Property. Work at Urique is being performed on behalf of optionee Mammoth Resources Ltd. (MTH � TSX.V).
The initial results from sampling at the San Pedro Target has identified multiple new zones of gold mineralization and confirmed the strong potential of previously known zones. Gold and silver mineralization at San Pedro is interpreted to be low to intermediate sulfidation and occurs as widely spaced quartz vein/stockwork zones and shear zones associated with felsic dykes hosted in strongly altered volcanic rocks.
Important gold values (greater than 0.3 g/t Au) now have been identified throughout an area measuring approximately 1,400 metres by 1,000 metres. In this initial phase, 121 rock chip samples were taken from quartz veins/stockwork zones and their immediate wall rock near or at the entrance of small mine workings. Highlights from this first widespread sampling are listed below:
Investorideas.com Newswire To date only a combined 50.6 linear meters of trenches have been sampled. A number of trenches are open and need to be extended to fully define the following results (see table above for detail):
  • Trench 2 - first sample returned 1.55 g/t gold
  • Trench 4 - first sample returned 3.77 g/t gold
  • Trench 6 - first sample returned 18.78 g/t gold and the last sample returned 1.63 g/t gold
  • Trench 7 - first sample returned 0.53 g/t gold and the last sample returned 4.07 g/t gold
Ongoing work at Urique:
The Company currently has four geologists dedicated to the project based out of two camps that are used as the bases of operations to cover the northern portion of the property � Urique North and the southern portion of the property � Urique South.
Work in Urique North will be concentration on the San Pedro target before moving on to the Cuiteco Target and other anomalies whereas the field program in Urique South Ongoing work will continue to develop a geological database and understanding of the Urique Target Area, which contains greater than 20 historic producing mines, as well as investigate numerous other targets and prospects located in the southern portion of the property that borders Goldcorp's El Sauzal property. The goal of this work is to advance the primary target areas to the drill-ready stage as rapidly as possible.

Gold and Mining Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) Enters Into Option Agreement to Acquire Beaver and Violet Silver Properties, Postpones Castle Silver Mines IPO

VANCOUVER - February 15, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Ansil Resources Ltd. that gives Gold Bullion the option to acquire 100% ownership of both the Beaver and Violet silver properties located in the township of Coleman, Ontario.
To acquire ownership of both properties, Gold Bullion paid $10,000 to Ansil Resources and over the next seven years must incur an aggregate of $100,000 in expenditures on the properties. Gold Bullion is also required to make annual payments to Ansil Resources for a period of five years in an aggregate amount of $60,000 for pre-payment of a 3% net smelter return royalty held by Ansil Resources. Gold Bullion retains the right to purchase the 3% NSR royalty by paying $1.5 million to Ansil Resources for each percentage point of the NSR royalty.
The Beaver property consists of a single 20-acre claim; the N part, NW1/4, N1/2 Lot 1, Concession III is located in Coleman Township near the town of Cobalt, roughly 80 kilometres southeast of Gold Bullion's Castle Silver Mine near Gowganda, Ontario.
Beaver Consolidated Mines Ltd. produced 221.7 tonnes silver (7,127,858 ounces) from the Beaver Property between 1907 and 1940. The silver was mined from near-vertical Ag-Co-Ni veins near the upper contact of a shallow Nipissing diabase intrusive. This intrusive crosscuts Archean age sedimentary and volcanic rocks.
Production from the mines adjoining the Beaver Mine directly to the South and West were: Temiskaming Mine, 376.9 tonnes silver (12,118,796 ounces), Brady Lake Mine, 96.4 tonnes silver (3,100,000 ounces), Cobalt Load, 139.8 tonnes silver (4,493,725 ounces) and the Christopher Mine, 127.5 tonnes silver (4,100,000 ounces), also in close proximity to the upper contact area of the same Nipissing diabase intrusive.
Between 1977 and 1989 Agnico Eagle Mines produced 124 tonnes silver (3,986,761 ounces) broken down as follows: 122.96 tonnes silver (3,953,319 ounces) from the Cobalt Lode and Duchess claims south of the Beaver property, 0.929 tonnes silver (29,878 ounces) from the Beaver property and 0.111 tonnes silver (3,564 ounces) from the Brady Lake claims. All production was from the lower contact area of the Nipissing diabase. The properties were accessed from the 1,600 foot (487.68 metre) level of the Beaver Shaft and later from a cross cut driven from the Temiskaming Shaft.
Gold Bullion believes that diamond drilling of the lower contact area of the Beaver property is warranted to test a near flat fault known to exist in the Beaver property. A similar flat fault in the Duchess and Cobalt load appears to have been a controlling feature in the ore mined by Agnico Eagle.
Gold Bullion also announces that it has decided to postpone, for market reasons, the previously-announced initial public offering by Castle Silver Mines Inc., and a secondary offering to the shareholders of Gold Bullion of shares of Castle Silver Mines by way of dividend in kind, as set out in Castle Silver Mines' final prospectus dated November 10, 2011.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) DRILLS 10.5 m AVERAGING 1.04 % COPPER AT DOS NACIONES

VANCOUVER - February 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL, OTCBB: YRLLF, and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report that it has received results for the three holes, drilled on behalf of its optionee Del Toro Silver Corp. (DTOR � OTCBB), at the Dos Naciones property, located in Sonora State, Mexico.
Drilling at Dos Naciones was successful in confirming the presence of multiple outcropping skarn targets. Drilling in the strongly altered and fractured ground proved very difficult and each of the three holes was terminated before reaching the target depth due to technical reasons.
The table below summarizes the results received:
Investorideas.com Newswire Drill holes D2N-01 and D2N-02 were drilled into and beside, respectively, the La Espanola skarn target, a prominent ridge that is host to numerous historic workings. In addition to the average of 1.04 % copper and 33.3 g/t silver, drill hole D2N-01 intersected an average of 20.7 % iron (using a top cut of 25%) over 10.5 metres from surface. A second zone of mineralization grading 1.5 g/t gold and 88.3 g/t silver over 0.75 m was intersected at a depth of 29.70 m, indicating the potential for additional targets at depth. Drill hole D2N-02 was collared in strongly altered andesitic volcanics with 1 to 3 percent disseminated sulphides but was lost at 12 m before intersecting the target at depth.
Drill hole D2N-03 was drilled into the Dos Naciones Este target, located approximately 2.5 km southwest of drill holes D2N-01 and 02. Hole D2N-03 was collared in an outcrop of skarn and intersected 10.0 m of skarn mineralization averaging 0.76 % copper and 9.3 g/t silver from a depth of 4.5 metres below a zone of very poor recovery.
The size of these targets has yet to be fully tested and as a result Yale is recommending additional drilling at Dos Naciones. Del Toro must spend a total of $800,000 at Dos Naciones prior to July 7, 2013 to earn a 70% interest in the property.
