Blue Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BGX) reports financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and provides a brief update on our corporate activities. All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. OVERVIEW We are a gold exploration and development team with a track record of converting modest capital investments into exceptional shareholder returns. We have an entrepreneurially driven board and management team with skill sets in capital markets, M&A, audit and compliance, and, most importantly, resource discovery and development. We have strengthened our treasury position to provide us with the necessary resources to identify, acquire and unlock value in new projects globally. HIGHLIGHTS Leadership and Management -- During the quarter, we installed new leadership to build and grow the business. We appointed Mark O'Dea as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Donald McInnes as Vice-Chairman. Mr O'Dea founded and developed Fronteer Gold from a start-up in 2001 to an advanced stage gold development company which was acquired by Newmont Mining Corp. in 2011 for $2.3 billion. Mr. McInnes is a natural resource entrepreneur, who most recently founded and led Plutonic Power in expending over $900 million to build the largest run-of-river hydro project in Canada and B.C.'s largest wind farm. -- We added strong mining, financial and capital markets experience to our board with the election of Nolan Watson, Lenard Boggio, and Scott Lamacraft, as directors. -- We enhanced our management team and financial oversight with the appointment of Sean Tetzlaff as CFO. Mr. Tetzlaff was the former CFO and VP Finance of Fronteer Gold. -- Subsequent to the quarter end, we brought additional technical strength to our Board with the appointment of Charlie Ronkos, Senior Vice President of Exploration at Goldcorp Inc. -- We changed the company name to Blue Gold Mining Inc. (the company was initially incorporated as Drexel Capital Corp. under the Business Corporations Act - British Columbia on June 18, 2009, and subsequently changed its name to Drexel Resources Ltd. on April 18, 2011). Financing and Corporate Activities -- Received gross proceeds of $2.4 million on July 7, 2011 with the closing of a $2.4 million private placement announced June 23, 2011. -- Subsequent to the quarter end, received gross proceeds of $24.6 million with the closing of a $20.0 million best efforts offering and overalottment option for an additional $4.6 million. The offering included the participation of Goldcorp, one of the fastest-growing, lowest-cost senior gold producers. Goldcorp purchased 5 million units representing approximately 8.6% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Exploration Activities -- We commenced a 500-line-kilometre airborne geophysical (magnetometer and electromagnetic) survey on the Titan gold-copper property, located in northwestern British Columbia. We intend to evaluate the results of the survey, complete follow-up geological work to define specific target areas for drilling. We have assembled a proven management team and board of directors and have strengthened our treasury, providing us with the necessary resources to identify, acquire and advance new projects globally. With the Company's cash balance of approximately $25 million, we remain focused on identifying projects that will allow us to create value for our shareholders.
