Bulgold Announces an Exploration Update ON the Kutel GOLD Project
BULGOLD ANNOUNCES AN EXPLORATION UPDATE ON THE KUTEL GOLD PROJECT
Toronto, ON. October 17, 2023 – BULGOLD Inc. (TSXV: ZLTO) (the “Company” or “BULGOLD”) announces
that it has now completed the maiden drilling programme on the Kutel Gold Project and all assay results have been
returned, validated and incorporated into the Company’s database. Three diamond drill holes were drilled across
two of the three primary HEB targets for a total of 1,125.4m. No significant intersections were recorded.
Quote from the President & CEO, Mr Sean Hasson:
“After watching every drilled metre come into the shed, two things became clear to me: (1) the drilled geology was
not supporting the current model, and (2) it soon became apparent that additional drill holes would be needed to
test the potential of the property and that these holes would fall outside the scope of the Company’s board of
directors’ approved budget. As such, I made the decision to terminate the drill programme upon completion of the
third drill hole.
The owners/managers of this business are committed to making an economic gold discovery and this requires the
Company to be ruthless in its allocation of capital . There remains good potential for gold mineralisation on the
Kutel Gold Project; however, for now, the Company will turn its attention to the recently acquired Lutila Gold Project
in Slovakia and the Kostilkovo Gold Project in Bulgaria . The Company does not expect to return to the capital
markets for additional funding and plans to use current cash on hand to drill t est these gold projects so as to
determine where the Company’s capital should be allocated moving forward.”

primarily marble with some minor amphibolite was intersected to end of hole.
KTDD001: Drilled sedimentary marble brecci a from surface to 66m, after which metamorphic basement rocks,
primarily marble with some minor amphibolite was intersected to end of hole.
KTDD002: The BULGOLD team made a decision to change the orientation of drilling from the northeast to the
northwest, which was the logical decision to make at this stage of the exploration programme. Sedimentary marble
breccia was intersected from surface to 91m, after which metamorphic basement rocks, primarily marble with some
minor amphibolite was intersected to end of hole. Carbonate veinlets with bladed vein margins with either open
space or full carbonate centres were intersected intermittently between 230-242m, 263 -265 and 29 3-294m
downhole; these veinlets were steeply dipping and trending 020 -040°. One chalcedonic quartz vein was
intersected between 237-238m downhole.
Operationally, core recovery was good and averaged 98.6% for the programme. Drilling rates were reasonable;
however, due to the inherent fractured nature of the sedimentary marble breccias and marble basement rocks,
water return was commonly lost at upper levels of the drill holes. This necessitated that the Company transport
water to the drill sites , which were all located on the top of a mountain and , thus, contributed to additional cost
pressures associated with the maiden drill programme.
About BULGOLD Inc.
BULGOLD is a gold exploration company focused on the exploration and development of mineral exploration
projects in Central and Eastern Europe. The Company controls 100% of three quality quartz-adularia epithermal
gold projects located in the Slovakian and Bulgarian portion of the Western Tethyan Belt: the Lutila Gold Project,
the Kutel Gold Project and the Kostilkovo Gold Project. Management of the Company believes that its assets show
potential for high-grade, good-metallurgy, low-sulfidation epithermal gold mineralisation.
On August 24, 2023, BULGOLD had approximately $2.5 million in its treasury and BULGOLD’s issued and
outstanding shares were 27,597,928 of which approximately 39.54% were held by Founders , Directors and
Management. Additional information about the Company is available on BULGOLD’s website
(www.BULGOLD.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Sampling, Analysis and QAQC of Exploration Drill Core Samples
Most exploration diamond drill holes are collared with PQ size, continued with HQ, and are sometimes finished
with NQ. Triple tube core barrels and short runs are used whenever possible to improve recovery. All drill core is
cut lengthwise into two halves using a diamond saw; the right-hand half looking downhole is sampled for assaying
and the other half is retained in core trays. The common length for sample intervals within mineralized zones is
one metre. Weights of drill core samples range from three to eight kilograms (“kg”), depending on the size of core,
rock type, and recovery. A numbered tag is placed into each sample bag, and the samples are grouped into batches
for laboratory submissions.
Diamond drill core samples are shipped to SGS Burgas, Bulgaria. Quality control samples, comprising certified
reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates, are inserted into each batch of samples and locations for crushed
duplicates and pulp replicates are specified. All drill core and quality control samples are tabulated on sample
submission forms that specify sample preparation procedures and codes for analytical methods. For internal quality
control, the laboratory includes its own quality control samples comprising certified reference materials, blanks and
pulp duplicates. All QAQC monitoring data are reviewed, verified and signed off by the Company. Chain of custody
records are maintained from sample shipments to the laboratory until analyses are completed and remaining
sample materials are returned to the Company. The chain of custody is transferred from the Company to SGS at
the laboratory door.
At the SGS Burgas laboratory, the submitted core samples are dried at 105°C for a minimum of 12 hours, and then
jaw crushed to ~80% passing 2-6mm. Sample preparation duplicates are created by riffle splitting crushed samples
on a 1 -in-20 basis. Larger samples are riffle split prior to pulverizing, whereas smaller samples are pulverized
entirely. Pulverizing specifications are 90% passing 75 microns. Gold analyses are done using a conventional 50-
gram fire assay and AAS finish. Multi-element analyses for 36 elements are done using a four-acid digestion and
an ICP-OES finish.
