Core Viewpoint - Bullion Gold Resources has completed a field prospecting program on its Bodo property, confirming the presence of a Cu-Au-Ag-Zn corridor, indicating significant mineralization potential in a historically underexplored region of Northern Québec [1][2][10]. Exploration Program - The exploration program commenced on June 1, 2025, with a four-person team mobilized to the Bodo property, located approximately 240 km north of Chibougamau, utilizing helicopters for equipment transport and small boats for surface exploration [3][4]. - Nearly 400 samples were collected during the first half of the program, with full assay results expected by the end of September 2025 [3]. Geological Findings - Prospecting work targeted the Rivon block, revealing a mineralized corridor extending approximately 3 km north-south and 800 m east-west, with chalcopyrite observed in 20% of the first 240 samples [4][9]. - The mineralization is associated with alteration minerals such as actinolite-tremolite, diopside, and magnetite, indicating a complex geological setting [5][6]. - The Bodo property is part of the Tichegami Group, which includes various rock types and has been identified as having large exploration targets based on previous magnetic surveys [8]. Future Plans - The company is considering conducting a Mag-TDEM airborne survey over the Rivon showing and ultramafic units, with potential drilling planned for fall-winter 2025-2026 depending on survey results [11]. - Additional prospecting and sampling have been completed on the Amiel and Cabat blocks, identifying new copper- and sulphide-bearing zones, with over 100 samples collected for analysis [12].

The Company is currently awaiting further gold and base metal results from its ongoing mapping and prospecting campaigns. In addition, permits have been received to conduct trenching work to expose any new zones and areas of interest for mapping and channel sampling in preparation for drilling later in the season. The Company acquired the Dominion Lake Project in 2024 after a large parcel of land became available for staking and has since assembled a substantial and highly prospective land position.
