About BCGold Corp.

BCGold Corp. (TSX-V: BCG) is focused on exploration and development of its 100%-owned historic Engineer Mine and adjoining Gold Hill properties, situated in northwestern British Columbia. Since 2007 the Company has incurred approximately $3.5 million in expenditures to demonstrate the exploration upside and near term mining potential of these properties.
