BISON GOLD RESOURCES INC. CENTRAL MANITOBA PROPERTY UPDATE: DRILLING INTERSECTS 37.61 G/T AU OVER 2.82 METRES IN OG-11-13 AND 19.86 G/T AU OVER 4.05 METRES IN OG-11-14

Bison Gold Resources Inc. has provided an update on results from drilling on the Ogama-Rockland trend from the company's central Manitoba property.

Diamond drilling continues to intersect high-grade gold mineralization in the three new gold-bearing structures: HW1, HW2 and HW3 (see press release dated July 8, 2011). Drill hole OG-11-13 cut 37.61 grams per tonne Au over 2.82 metres through HW1. Drill hole OG-11-14 cut 19.86 g/t Au over 4.05 metres. Additional gold intersections are included in the drilling highlights table. All reported widths are core widths and not true widths.

"Our diamond drilling program continues to intersect significant gold zones and we now have multiple targets, both near surface and deep, for future exploration," stated Lucas Ewart, president and chief executive officer for Bison Gold. Bison is currently drilling near-surface targets (less than 50 m depth) that were identified from Au-in-soil geochemical anomalies and surface exploration efforts from this past summer. The next set of results is anticipated within the next two to three weeks.

Quality assurance/quality control

Drill core was sawed, with half sent to TSL Labs in Saskatoon, Sask., and the other half retained for reference. Most gold analyses were done using 50-gram fire assay with AA finish. A gravimetric finish is employed where samples return gold values in excess of 3,000 parts per billion. Screen metallics techniques were used on samples with visible gold. TSL maintains a strict quality control program with standards, blanks and duplicates included with every sample series. Standards and blanks are inserted regularly by Bison Gold personnel into the sample series at its core processing facility.

All exploration activities for Bison Gold are under the supervision and guidance of David C. Benson, PGeo, a qualified person under NI 43-101. Mr. Benson has reviewed the te
