VANCOUVER , June 19, 2014 /CNW/ - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (GBB.V) (GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") announces it
has received the Preliminary Feasibility Study "PFS" for the "Rolling
Start" at Granada . The results from the PFS demonstrate the economic
viability of the Granada Mine Rolling Start based on the mineral
reserves derived from resources that were outlined by SGS Canada Inc.,
as previously disclosed in the Company's news release dated May 6th,
2014 .
The PFS highlights the fact that significant amounts of gold resources
are present. With the next phase of drilling these additional resources
have the potential to be converted to reserves and as such there
remains excellent exploration likelihood to further expand the size of
the existing mineral inventory.
The PFS Phase 1 "Rolling Start" Open Pit plan for gold production also
provides a more conservative estimate of profitability than the
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due to the exclusion of the
inferred resources in conjunction with the use of a higher cut-off
grade. As such, the PFS provides estimates that have a lower risk,
which is a key element in securing financing for the "Rolling Start"
even with less than favorable market conditions.
The Technical Report dated June 19, 2014 is available through the
Internet under the Company's profile on the Canadian System for
Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.goldbulliondevelopmentcorp.com.
Frank J. Basa , President and Chief Executive Officer, "Progress at
Granada thus far has been pragmatic and steady which, in hindsight, has
been very appropriate for the overall market conditions of the past few
years. The Company is now on the cusp of gold production at higher
grades with plans for resource expansion and for ramping up gold
production in the upcoming development phases at Granada as we deliver
on the goal of creating shareholder value."
The delivery of the "Rolling Start" Preliminary Feasibility Study
completes the first stage of Gold Bullion's continuous development
program. The Company has already begun the second stage of property
development with the intention of becoming a 100,000-ounce per year
gold producer in due course.
The C of A is currently being completed by Roche with SGS and GMG and is
expected to be ready for submission prior to the end of June.
Frank J. Basa , President and Chief Executive Officer on property
resources, "We have the flexibility of controlling the grade at the
Granada Property with the intent of re-engineering the current resource
and future drilled resources with a mandate to delineate a property
that can support an annual gold pour rate of 100,000 ounces with all-in
cash costs of US$650 to US$800 per ounce for the life of the mine."
