BISON GOLD RESOURCES INC. INCREASES DRILLING PROGRAM FROM 5,000 METRES TO 10,000 METRES ON THE CENTRAL MANITOBA PROPERTY, ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF GENE MCLEAN TO ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Bison Gold Resources Inc. has increased the size of the diamond drilling program from 5,000 to 10,000 metres based on encouraging results from the first eight drill holes completed on the Ogama zone extension. The company is currently completing the fence of drill holes following up on diamond drill hole OG-10-04 which intersected 2.46 metres of 37.1 grams per tonne gold. The company expects assay results from this drilling within the coming weeks.

"We are very encouraged by the significant high-grade gold mineralization intersected to date on this program, in not only the extension to depth and strike of the Ogama zone, but of additional high-grade hangingwall gold mineralization intersected by diamond drill holes to date," stated Lucas Ewart, president and chief executive officer of Bison. "We doubled the size of the drilling program to accommodate additional follow-up drilling on the high-grade results received to date."

Bison plans to, with the additional 5,000 metres, complete drilling to test the depth extension of drill hole OG-10-05, which intersected 17.6 grams per tonne gold over 6.55 metres within a 25.64-metre intercept, that returned assays of 5.3 grams per tonne gold and to test depth and strike extensions to drill holes OG-09-01 and OG-09-02 which returned high-grade intercepts of 36.5 grams per tonne gold over 1.92 metres and 26.5 grams per tonne gold over 1.25 metres, respectively.

All drill intercepts reported within this news release are drill core widths and not true widths.

Quality assurance/quality control

Drill core was sawed, with half sent to TSL Labs in Saskatoon, Sask., and the other half retained for reference. Most gold analyses were done using 50-gram fire assay with AA finish. A gravimetric finish is employed where samples return gold values in excess of 3,000 parts per billion. Screen metallics techniques were used on samples with visible gold. TSL maintains a strict quality control program with standards, blanks and duplicates included with every sample series. Standards and blanks are inserted regularly by Bison Gold personnel into the sample series at its core processing facility.

All exploration activities for Bison Gold are under the supervision and guidance of David C. Benson, PGeo, and a qualified person under NI 43-101. Mr. Benson has reviewed the technical portions of this news release.

In addition, Bison Gold Resources Inc. has appointed Gene McLean to the board of directors.

Mr. McLean is an executive security adviser and principal of McLean Security Advisory & Associates Inc.
