Bison Gold Resources Inc. Announces the Commencement of a 6,000M Diamond Drill Program on its 100% Owned Central Manitoba Property

August 31, 2009 - Toronto, Ontario - Bison Gold Resources Inc. (BGE - CNSX) ("Bison Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to report that drilling has commenced on the company's 100% owned Central Manitoba gold property. Contractor Wynne Drilling Ltd. of Bissett, Manitoba, has mobilized one drill to the property, and a second is expected to be added in September.

This diamond drill program is anticipated to be a minimum of 7,000m with 4,500m in the area of the Central Manitoba mine and 2,500m at the nearby Ogama-Rockland mine site, as recommended in the company's recently issued NI 43-101 document (see www.sedar.com). Drilling at the Central Manitoba mine will follow up on the company's 2008 discoveries, both east and west of the Tene shaft, and test other targets along this 3km shear zone system.

Upon completion of the Central Manitoba drilling, Bison Gold plans to undertake a 1,000m drill program on the company's 100% owned Cryderman gold property, located 8 km north of the Central Manitoba. In addition, Bison Gold also expects to complete an IP geophysical survey and 2,000m drill program later this year on its 100% owned Apex gold property, located 17km southeast of Snow Lake, Manitoba.

"We are anticipating an exciting second half of 2009," said Lucas Ewart, CEO of Bison Gold, "especially in the developing Bissett-Rice Lake gold camp. We are well financed to explore our properties and to pursue other opportunities as they arise."

The drilling programs will be completed under the supervision of William C. Hood, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Assaying will be performed by SGS Mineral Services in Red Lake, ON.
