Consolidated Big Valley Resources Inc. (the “Company”) announces that the Granada Mill has suspended processing of the Russian Kid ore. The Granada Mill has resumed processing stockpiled ore from the Granada pit # 2, which is located on Vein #2. The processing will continue until all stock piled ore is exhausted. A plant shutdown will be scheduled to do a metallurgical balance and process upgrades before winter begins.

The Company has retained C.A. Veilleux, Mining Consultant to review the open pit design of pit # 2A, which is also on Vein #2. The processing of this ore will give the Company a better understanding of the nugget effect and the overall potential of the Vein #2 structure. The open pit is fully permitted and mining can be commenced at any time.

Mr. C.A Veilleux has also been contracted to design a ramp. The 3.5 X 5 meter ramp will be 700 meters long and reach an initial depth of 110 meters. The ramp will begin from the bottom of pit #2.

Pending the results of the present milling program, a decision will be made for a drill program on #2 vein structures. The vein is open at depth and strike.

The Company has also retained the services of Karol Mikulash, Mining Engineer, to act as mine manager for the Granada Mine and Mill site, a former mine manager who has worked throughout northern Quebec and Ontario for mid-tier gold mining companies. Mr. Mikulash will oversee the day-to-day activities of the Granada Site.

The near term objective of the Company is to process 2,000 tonnes of ore per month during the commissioning stage of the Granada Mill. Once the commissioning stage has been completed, it is intended to take the plant to design capacity of 6,000 tonnes per month.

The Company's objective is to acquire and develop past producing mines and properties with a mineable resource of 200,000 ounces of gold or less. A mineable resource is defined by the Company as ore that can produce gold within three months time of mining and processing.
