Bullion Gold Resources Corp. (TSX-V: BGD) and its partner Olympio Metals Limited are pleased to announce that further high-grade gold intersections have been returned from the remainder of hole BO-25-28, the second hole drilled at the maiden drill program at Paquin Prospect. Olympio Metals has an option to earn an 80% interest from Bullion Gold at the Bousquet Project in return for an investment of $2M in works and a payment in cash and shares of $1.25M over the next few years. Bullion Gold would then retain an undivided interest of 20% (net carried interest).

The latest batch of assay results included a significant high-grade gold intercept of:
This high-grade gold intercept in BO-25-28 adds further to the high-grade gold intercepts previously reported in holes BO-25-27 and BO-25-28 (Figures 1 & 2; see ASX announcement 28th July 2025).5
The first hole at Paquin (BO-25-27) intersected 5.4m @ 7.61 g/t Au from 184.0m, including an interval of 0.35m @ 42.3 g/t Au where visible gold was observed in the core (Photo 1, Photo 2, Figure 1).
The upper portion of the second drillhole (BO-25-28) successfully intersected a thick high-grade gold zone of 7.9m @ 6.20 g/t Au from 138m, including 1.3m @ 17 g/t Au. This high-grade interval is within a broader 45m mineralised envelope of quartz-carbonate veining and sulphide mineralisation which contains further gold intervals up to 4.10 g/t Au (Figure 1, Figure 2).
The new high-grade intercept in the lower portion of BO-25-28 represents a new mineralised gold zone (Figure 2), and is largely untested by existing drilling. It remains open up-dip, down dip and along strike to the west.
Olympio’s Managing Director, Sean Delaney, commented:
“It is great to get a 54 g/t gold result near the end of hole BO-25-28 which gives us confidence about the potential at Paquin. The high-grade western zone at Paquin remains open, and we are planning further drilling with the aim of extending this high-grade mineralisation.”
“Geophysical data and historical drilling suggest that the Paquin structure extends for over a kilometre to the west under shallow glacial cover. We look forward to drill testing this extensive target in the coming months.”
To-date the Company has drilled 3 holes for 902m at Paquin (Table 2). The third hole, BO-25-29, was drilled 50m further west of BO-25-27 (Figure 1) and has been sampled with assays pending.
The multiple high-grade intervals defined in holes BO-25-27, BO-25-28 and historical hole BO-21-08 (9m @ 16.96g/t Au) form a contiguous high-grade zone which remains open along strike to the west, and also open up-dip and down-dip. Olympio is planning further drilling to test this highly prospective and under-explored zone.
Geophysical Data (VLF survey) and historical drilling suggests that the Paquin structure extends for > 1km to the west, and may expand to incorporate the Amadee Prospect (Figure 3). Olympio is looking forward to testing these interpreted structures which are below thin glacial cover and represent highly prospective targets.
Bullion Gold’s CEO, Guy Morissette, commented:
“This new, very rich and deeper result represents the full potential of the Paquin zone, which to date has revealed several high-grade results containing visible gold in several locations. We are very pleased with the work accomplished by our partner, and we remain very confident for the future.”
Amadee Drilling
Recent inspection of the outcrop at the Amadee Prospect by the Olympio exploration team revealed numerous smoky quartz veins that appeared very similar to the gold-bearing smoky quartz veining identified in the Paquin Prospect drill core.
Historical drilling suggests that both Paquin and Amadee occur on the same east-west trending structure that dips moderately to the north (~50o) however, Amadee is located closer to a conglomerate/wacke contact zone. At both prospects, gold mineralisation is associated with stacked and stockwork smoky quartz veins of varying density.
The Amadee Prospect was historically explored with 14 shallow drillholes in 1940, intersecting encouraging gold grades including 1.52m @ 6.8 g/t Au from 16.8m (PA-3) and 1.52m @ 5.6g/t Au from 44.9m (PA-1)6. Significantly deeper drilling in 19457 confirmed the Amadee gold mineralisation extends at depth however, the shallower zones of the prospect have not been drilled since 1940. Detailed mapping, rock chip sampling and channel sampling of Amadee Prospect in 19788 confirmed gold mineralisation up to 49.0 g/t Au (channel sampling). The Amadee mineralisation appears to extend over >200m strike and may represent a western extension of the Paquin mineralisation. Further drilling will be required to assess these aspects.
To date, Olympio has drilled 8 holes (898m) at Amadee (Figure 3, Table 2). Drilling has identified multiple zones of smoky quartz veining and associated sulphides from surface to 80m. Logging and sampling of Amadee holes is ongoing with first assay results expected in August.
Decoeur Extension Drilling
The Decoeur Extension Prospect is a large chargeability IP anomaly that is coincident with the interpreted North Bousquet Fault, an under-explored Archaean regional sub-province bounding structure (see previous ASX release 10th April 20259).
The target has been explored with one hole, BO-25-39 (183m), drilled to date (Figure 3). The hole intersected zones of smoky quartz-carbonate veining and associated sulphides adjacent to talc-carbonate schists similar to Pichè Group rocktypes. Pichè Group rock types are commonly associated with gold mineralisation along the regional Cadillac Break2 structure. The IP chargeability anomaly is not readily explained by current drilling and the target will be further reviewed on receipt of assays which are expected later this month.
Decoeur Drilling
The Decoeur Prospect represents a gold mineralised zone with >400m strike extent and associated with Pichè Group rock types along the Bousquet Fault (Figure 3). Historical drilling indicates there appears to be gold mineralisation in both the hanging wall and the footwall. Hole BO-25-40 (408m) targeted the footwall contact at depth, and intersected an extensive zone of stockwork smoky quartz veins with sulphides above a talc-chlorite schist on the interpreted footwall zone.
The hole has been logged and sampled with results due later this month.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests
All samples were analysed for Au by 50g fire assay fusion (FA) with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) finish (202-551), and also 34 elements by 4-acid digest with ICP_OES finish (201-070). Samples with observed or suspected coarse gold as logged by the geologist were analysed by screen Fire assay (202-121). From the pulverised sample, a 1kg sub-sample was sieved to 106μm. The +106μm fraction was analysed to extinction by FA/ICP(OES) and the -106μm fraction by FA/ICP(OES).
AGAT protocols are considered by the Qualified Person to be consistent, in general, with industry standards.
One certified reference material (CRM) standard and one blank were included in each batch of 20 samples (inserted at 1/19 samples) by Explo-logik staff. CRM used were OREAS 221, 231, 236, 238, 242. The blank was quartz-sericite.
