Exploration Update

Bison has mobilized field crew to the Central Manitoba Property. Surface exploration for the summer on the Central Manitoba Property will focus on the Eldorado Zone, where a grab sample from the 2010 surface program returned results of 162.6 g/t Au; follow-up on previously unidentified gold-bearing structures identified from the current diamond drilling program in the "hangingwall" of the Ogama deposit and follow-up on a near surface, two-line, multi-station soil MMI gold anomaly between the historic Ogama and Rockland Deposits.

Bison is currently drilling the fourth hole of a four-hole fence that stepped out 50 metres east and along strike of the diamond drill holes OG-11-08 and OG-11-09. Results from the first three holes of this fence are expected within the next few weeks.
