About Blossom Gold Inc.
Blossom is a Canadian -based precious metals exploration and development company that
recently began trading on the TSX under the symbol BGAU. Blossom acquired the Rosebud Project
in connection with the TSX-listing and will be focused on the exploration and development of the
project. The Rosebud Project includes the former Rosebud Mine, where mining was conducted
from 1997 through 2000 by the Rosebud Mining Company, a Newmont-Hecla joint venture, using
underground mining methods where the mine operated at a cut-off grade of approximately 0.2
opt Au (6.8 g/t Au), when gold prices ranged from US$250 to US$350/oz; with mined material
truck-hauled approximately 120 miles to an existing Newmont oxide mill for processing.
The current vision for the Rosebud Project is to evaluate the remaining higher -grade
mineralization and the surrounding larger volume of lower grade mineralization as a potential
open pit mining operation with on -site, heap-leach processing and recovery of gold and silver.
The Rosebud Project currently hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 70.755 million tons grading
0.68gAu/t (0.018opt Au) and 6.49gAg/t (0.189opt Ag) for 1.28 million ounces of gold and 13.4
million ounces of silver. The mineral resource estimate was open pit constrained using long term
gold and silver prices of US$2,500 and US$35 per ounce respectively. The deposit is open in all
directions.
