Gold Bullion Development Corp. Initiates Drill Program On Castle Silver Mine, Gowganda

VANCOUVER, March 1 /CNW/ - Mr. Frank J. Basa reports: Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB) (OTCPINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") announces that it has initiated a drill program on its Castle Silver Mine property.

The Company's Castle Silver Mine property, located 85 kilometres northwest of the historic silver camp in Cobalt, Ontario consists of 34 leased mining claims and two licenses of occupation located in Haultain and Nicol Townships, covering approximately 564.4 hectares. The mine has been in operation at various times from 1917 to 1989 and produced a total of 763,127,010 grams of silver from the No. 3 shaft. This included Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd.'s production from 1979 to 1989 which came to 101,024 tonnes milled; 91,421,294 grams silver; 34,597 kilograms cobalt and 10,180 kilograms copper. Operations shut down in 1989 due to low silver prices.

The Company has initiated an orientation IP geophysical grid across the property in order to test its application in identifying silver-cobalt veins, potentially identifying Archean base metal sulphide mineralization which is known to control silver mineralization in certain mines, mapping the stratigraphy of the Nipissing diabase and identifying and mapping location of low-angle faults which are possible significant mineralization indicators.

Additionally, a drill program begun mid-February, 2011 is underway. The program is planned to reach a total of 6000m and is intended to test for continuation of known structures as well as test horizons within and adjacent to the Nipissing diabase sill previously unexplored in the Gowganda area. Historically, exploration in the Gowganda - Elk Lake area has focused on the upper 1/3 of the Nipissing diabase sill and most of the resulting historic production from the Gowganda area has been mined from this horizon. However, an estimated 75% or more of the silver mined from all the silver mines between Gowganda and Silver Centre in South Lorrain south of Cobalt, Ontario - has been mined from outside this horizon.

Compilation of all existing and available information on the property is well underway and will be digitized in 2011 to allow a more thorough analysis of the geology and known mineralization. A great deal of information and historic underground geological information has recently been acquired and is currently being added to the existing database.

Gold Bullion has recently contracted an engineering firm for the development of a limited scope closure plan to allow for the opening of the first level from an adit entrance for sampling and mapping purposes. This will be two-stage process allowing initial access while continuing the permitting for dewatering the mine to allow a re-analysis of the existing workings below the first level.
