(formerly, 1290448 B.C. Ltd.) (\"Blossom\" or the \"Company\") (TSX: BGAU) is pleased to announce that Investmin Resources (Nevada) Inc., Blossom's wholly owned subsidiary, has filed a Notice of Intent (\"NOI\") with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (\"USBLM\" or \"BLM\") for the initiation of resource expansion and confirmation drilling at the Rosebud Project (\"Rosebud\" or the \"Project\") in Pershing County, Nevada.\nUnder the U.S. National Environmental Protection Act (\"NEPA\"), a NOI is used to conduct work, including mineral exploration, on public lands where planned disturbance does not exceed 5 acres (2.02ha). Blossom's planned disturbance under the NOI reflects the construction of 29 drill pads that will be used for both metallurgical sampling (8 PQ core holes) and resource drilling (HQ core) across the resource pit shell of its current 70.8 Mton inferred mineral resource, as well as along its margins, to expand the open pit resource and upgrade its resource classification. Major Drilling has been contracted to provide services related to the NOI, including four rigs for an expected 80,000 feet (24,384m) of drilling. During surface drilling operations, the area near reclaimed, #2 portal will be used as a lay down and support area. As drilling operations wind down, work will begin to open #2 portal, followed by rehabbing the #2 decline for 2,300 feet (701m). Once initial rehabilitation is complete, Blossom will initiate confirmation and resource upgrade drilling from underground drill stations to complete resource definition for the open pit resource and define underground targets for further assessment.The process for the BLM to review and approve the NOI will take between 15 and 30 days. Since Rosebud is a property with a long history of disturbance and reclamation, in...
