April 24, 2012 – Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB) (OTCPINK: GBBFF) (the “Company” or “Gold Bullion”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of a nonbrokered private placement announced on April 13, 2012, by the issuance of 8,133,227 units at a price of $0.15 per unit to raise gross proceeds of $1,219,984.05. Each unit consists of one flowthrough common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional non-flowthrough common share in the capital of the Company on or before April 23, 2013, at a purchase price of $0.175 per share.
In connection with certain subscriptions of the private placement, the Company paid finders’ fees to Meadowbank Asset Management Inc. consisting of $87,998.72 in cash and non-transferable share purchase warrants to purchase 586,658 non-flow-through common shares in the capital of the Company, exercisable on or before April 23, 2013 at a purchase price of $0.175 per share.

All securities issued by the Company pursuant to the private placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day and cannot be resold until August 25, 2012.
