RENO, NEVADA--(CCNMatthews - June 12, 2006) - Bullion River Gold Corp. (OTCBB:BLRV) recovered its first gold as it started its mill and test mining operation on Friday, June 9, 2006. The mill-consisting of two ball mills with a capacity of about 220 tons per day, a new Falcon concentrator with a capacity of about 700 tons per day, and a gravity and flotation circuit-was successfully tested with ore from the Washington vein. All systems worked well: after a gradual start up, the mill ran for several hours to test its overall capacity. Gold was recovered from the gravity table in steady streams with several large pieces in between.

Peter M. Kuhn, President of Bullion River Gold, said: "We are very, very happy with the success of our start-up and the recovery of such spectacular pieces of gold. This high-grade recovery is encouraging support for our expectations of a high-grade operation. My thanks go out to our crews who have worked so hard to accomplish this smooth start up in the mill. I'm particularly proud of our safety record: our crews have worked 590 consecutive days without a lost-time injury. The mine is producing ore out of the Washington vein and drifts toward the Lucky Seven vein with the major decline. We will increase the efficiency of our mill and test the major Washington and Lucky Seven vein systems while we continue to explore additional veins from surface and underground."
