Bison Gold Resources Inc. ("Bison Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BGE) is
pleased to provide an update on results from the current drilling program on the
Ogama Structural Corridor from the company's Central Manitoba Property.
Bison previously released results from the first nineteen holes of this drilling
program in press releases dated March 12th, April 3rd and April 30th, 2012. This
release details results from the next five drill holes on the program (OG-12-20
to OG-12-24). Drill hole OG-12-22 targeted Ogama veins 1 & 4 at depth below the
intersections from OG-12-12 (see press release dated April 3, 2012). OG-12-22
cut 1.67 g/t Au over a drill core width of 32.27 metres (including 4.57 g/t Au
over 8.70 metres) in Ogama Vein #1 and 2.89 g/t Au over 13.00 metres (including
11.98 g/t Au over 3.00 metres) at vertical depths of approximately 200 metres
and 250 metres, respectively. All targets were intersected with a major
intersection of 1.34 g/t gold over 49.5 metres in the 420 zone at a vertical
depth averaging 230 metres. "These intersections are significant in the fact
that there is now continuity along strike and at depth of the Ogama Vein #1 and
#4 structures," remarked David Benson, VP Exploration and Qualified Person for
Bison Gold.
Another significant intersection noted from the results herein was the
intersection of the historical Onandago mine structure approximately 265 metres
along strike to the southwest of the Ogama mine and 190 metres along strike to
the northwest of the Onandago Shaft. Drill hole OG-12-24 cut 13.16 g/t Au over
2.00 metres in the Onandago structure. Historically, no significant production
was reported from the Onandago mine shaft although historical reports did
identify the high grade nature of the mineralization in the Onandago structure.
Further drilling is planned to test the strike and depth extent of the Onandago
structure and also to test the possibility that Ogama Vein #4 and the Onandago
structure are one in the same.
The remaining drill holes reported here each targeted multiple zones within the
Ogama Structural Corridor extending east along strike from the Ogama mine
workings. These remaining holes intersected the targeted horizons with
anticipated results as well as cutting additional anomalous zones not previously
identified or reported adjacent to the targets. These are termed HW
(hangingwall) and FW (footwall). Please refer to the table below for drill
intersections from drill holes OG-12-20 through OG-12-24.

Width (m) is the length in drill core and does not represent true width of
the mineralization. True width is estimated in all cases to be greater than
80% of drill core width.
"The drilling to date has expanded the gold mineralization in the Ogama
Structural Corridor to dimensions of 1000 metres by 450 metres with six (6)
confirmed continuous lenses or horizons as well as numerous other significant
structures which have either not been confirmed to be continuous or were
confirmed to be closed," stated Lucas Ewart, President and CEO of Bison Gold.
To date, Bison has completed 28 holes in this program for 10,330 metres. The
company is currently awaiting results from drill holes OG-12-25 through OG-12-28
and expects results from the assay lab by mid-June. Two drills are currently
on-site and the drilling program is anticipated to be completed in June of 2012.
The results from this drilling program will be incorporated in to the first NI
43-101 resource estimate on the Central Manitoba Property with an anticipated
delivery date during the 3rd quarter of 2012.
QA/QC
Drill core was sawed, with half sent to TSL Labs in Saskatoon, SK and the other
half retained for reference. Most gold analyses were done using 50g fire assay
with AA finish. A gravimetric finish is employed where samples return gold
values in excess of 3000 ppb. 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 in to the sample
series at their on-site core processing facility.
All exploration activities for Bison Gold are under the supervision and guidance
of David C. Benson, P.Geo, and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr. Benson
has reviewed the technical portions of this news release.
Bison Gold also announces the resignation of Mr. Jason Ewart from the Board of
Directors of the Company effective May 24, 2012.
Mr. Jason Ewart is the President and CEO of GC Global Capital Corp. ("GC
Global") a Canadian merchant bank that provides bridge loans to companies in
various industry sectors. Mr. Jason Ewart served on Bison Gold's Board of
Directors while the merchant bank extended a convertible bridge loan facility to
the Company, which was fully repaid in December 2011.
Mr. Lucas Ewart, President & CEO of Bison Gold stated, "We thank Mr. Jason Ewart
for his contributions during his tenure as a members of the Company's Board of
Directors, we wish him all the best in their future endeavors."
